First-in-human phase I study of the ALK inhibitor LDK378 in advanced solid tumors.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
3007 Background: LDK378 is a novel, potent and selective small molecule anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor (IC 50 0.00015 μM), that does not inhibit c-MET (IC 50 3.2 μM). Tumor regression has been observed in ALK-driven NSCLC xenografts. A first-in-human, Phase I study is being conducted to determine the MTD and safety profile in patients (pts) with tumors with ALK rearrangement, amplification or mutation. Other objectives were safety, PK and antitumor activity in pts with ALK-driven NSCLC, both naïve to ALK inhibitors and relapsed following previous ALK inhibitor treatment, and other ALK-positive cancers. Methods: Adult pts with advanced malignancies harboring a genetic alteration in ALK who progressed on standard therapy or for whom there was no effective therapy, were given once daily oral LDK378 on a continuous 21-day schedule. Dose escalation, starting at 50 mg/day, was guided by a Bayesian logistic regression model (BLRM) to determine the MTD. Results: At a January 5 th 2012 cutoff,31 pts (primary site: lung 26 pts; breast 3 pts; other 2 pts; median age 52 years; 87% ECOG PS 0/1) were enrolled and received LDK378 at doses of 50–750 mg/day. Two dose limiting toxicities, Grade (Gr) 3 alanine aminotransferase elevation (1 pt), and Gr 3 hypophosphatemia (1 pt) occurred in 8 pts at a 400 mg dose level. BLRM allowed dose escalation, and there were no DLTs in 4 pts at 500 mg. Median duration of treatment with LDK378 was 7 weeks (range <1–22+). At the cutoff date, 13 (42%) pts discontinued treatment: 1 (3%) due to adverse events (AEs), and 12 (39%) due to disease progression; 18 (58%) pts were still on treatment. The most frequent AEs (all Gr) were nausea (45%), vomiting (36%), and diarrhea (29%). The most frequent Gr 3/4 AEs were diarrhea and dyspnea (2 pts [7%] each). At doses ≥400 mg steady state exposures exceeded efficacious exposures in xenograft models. Of 16 pts with available response data (RECIST, per investigator) there were 4/6 responses in crizotinib (CRZ)-treated pts, and 2/10 responses in CRZ-naïve pts, of whom 7 were treated below 400 mg. All responses were in NSCLC. Conclusions: Daily oral LDK378 is well tolerated up to 500 mg/day, and escalation continues at 750 mg/day. Preliminary responses have been seen in both CRZ-naïve and CRZ-relapsed pts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
