Phase I safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of veliparib in combination with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in patients (pts) with brain metastases.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2013 Background: Veliparib is an oral PARP-1 and -2 inhibitor that enhances the antitumor activity of DNA damaging agents including radiation therapy in vivo. In pre-clinical models, veliparib crosses the blood-brain barrier. This ongoing phase I dose-escalation study evaluates the safety, PK, and provides preliminary antitumor activity of veliparib in combination with WBRT in pts with brain metastases. Methods: Pts with brain metastases from non-CNS primary solid malignancy, adequate organ function, RPA Class 2, and KPS ≥70 were treated with WBRT (37.5 Gy in 15 fractions or 30 Gy in 10 fractions) QD with veliparib BID with every fraction of WBRT in escalating doses of 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg; the final WBRT fraction was followed by 1 extra day of veliparib. Safety, PK, and tumor response by RECIST were assessed. Results: At the time of reporting 59 pts (M/F, 21/38; median age 57 y) had been treated. Baseline KPS was 70, 80, 90, and 100 in 6.8, 32.2, 40.7, and 20.3% pts, respectively; primary tumor types were breast (n=20), NSCLC (n=20), melanoma (n=9), colorectal (n=2), and others (n=8); 71.2% pts had multiple lesions; and 18.6% had prior brain SRS. Grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs; ≥5%) were fatigue (6.8%), anemia (5.1%), hyponatraemia (5.1%), and thrombocytopenia (5.1%); other TEAEs (≥20%) were fatigue (57.6%), headache (42.4%), nausea (40.7%), alopecia (28.8%), vomiting (22%), radiation skin reactions (22%), and decreased appetite (22%). PK of veliparib were approximately dose-proportional, with oral clearance of 21.6 ± 14.2 L/h (mean ± SD, n=45), minimal drug accumulation at day 15, and no significant effect of food on bioavailability. Tumor response was evaluable in 48 pts. Best tumor response and median survival were 37.5% and 10 months (m) for NSCLC, and 52.9% and 12.5 m for breast cancer (excluding pts with leptomeningeal disease). Conclusions: Addition of veliparib up to 200 mg BID was well tolerated with concurrent WBRT and dose escalation ongoing. The PK of veliparib was dose proportional with no food effect. Preliminary antitumor activity is encouraging and informative for the design of more definitive trials.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
