A phase I/II study of hydroxychloroquine and suba-itraconazole in men with biochemical relapse of prostate cancer (HITMAN-PC): Dose escalation results.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
114 Background: Preclinical data show hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and suba-itraconazole (SI) together enhance prostate cancer cell death. The proposed mechanism is lysosome dysfunction including sequestration of cholesterol in endosomes and inhibition of gogi-lyosome trafficking. HCQ/SI could delay androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and its associated morbidity in men with biochemical relapse of prostate cancer. In this phase I/II study, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase II dose (RP2D), safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary activity of HCQ/SI was investigated in such patients. Methods: Patients received escalating doses of HCQ with fixed SI 150mg BD in rolling 6 design. This will be followed by a planned phase II Simon 2-stage cohort expansion. Results: Eleven men were treated with HCQ/SI. Median age 73 (range 69-77), baseline PSA 4.4 µg/L (1.6-22.4) and doubling time 5.3 months (3.3-15.3). Two experienced dose-limiting toxicity: grade 3 diarrhoea and grade 3 alanine transferase elevation, both at HCQ 600mg BD. Most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were hypertension (91% all grade/18% grade 3), QTc prolongation (55%/0%), diarrhoea (36%/9%), and nausea (36%/0%). There were no grade 4 AEs or deaths. While there were no PSA responses (≥50% fall from baseline), PSA PFS by PCWG3 criteria was 5.5 months (2.0-9.0), and PSA doubling time was prolonged at 4 and 12 weeks in 82% and 45% respectively. ADT-free and metastasis-free survival are 14.3 months (95% CI 4.9-23.8) and 15.9 months (95% CI unevaluable) respectively. PK data will be presented. Conclusions: HCQ/SI demonstrated acceptable safety with MTD 600mg BD and RP2D 400mg BD. There is early signal of activity and phase II enrolment is to begin. Clinical trial information: NCT03513211.

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.
