About

This is a Phase I, non-randomized, open-label, multiple dose study of pexidartinib in Asian subjects with advanced solid tumors. The study will be conducted in a dose escalation to assess the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary antitumor activity of pexidartinib.

Enrollment: 12 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Age should be ≥ 20 years

• Subjects must have a pathologically documented solid tumor that has relapsed from, or is refractory to standard treatment, or for which no standard treatment is available

• All associated toxicity from previous cancer therapy must have been resolved (to ≤ Grade 1) prior to administration of pexidartinib

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0 or 1

• Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function tests

• Adequate treatment washout period before registration defined as:

  1. Major surgery: ≥ 4 weeks (2 weeks for less invasive surgery, such as colostomy)
  2. Radiation therapy (eg, whole brain radiotherapy): ≥ 4 weeks (if palliative stereotactic radiation therapy, ≥ 2 weeks)
  3. Chemotherapy or immunotherapy (including targeted therapy with antibody or small molecule, retinoid therapy, and hormonal therapy): 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of the agent, whichever is shorter (if the regimen has contained nitrosoureas or mitomycin C, ≥ 6 weeks)
  4. Other investigational drug therapy: ≥ 4 weeks

Exclusion criteria

• Refractory nausea and vomiting, malabsorption, external biliary shunt, or significant small bowel resection that would have precluded adequate absorption
• Previous use of pexidartinib or any biologic treatment targeting colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) or the receptor for colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF1R); previous use of oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors, eg, imatinib or nilotinib, is allowed
• Clinically active primary central nervous system tumors or brain metastasis, defined as untreated and symptomatic, or requiring therapy with steroids or anticonvulsants to control associated symptoms
• Active or chronic infection with hepatitis C or known positive hepatitis B surface. antigen, or known active or chronic infection with human immunodeficiency virus
• A screening Fridericia-corrected time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle (QTcF) ≥ 450 ms (in men) or ≥ 470 ms (in women).
• A medical history or complications of clinically significant lung disease (eg, interstitial pneumonia, pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, and severe radiation pneumonitis)
• A history of symptomatic congestive heart failure (CHF) [New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classes II to IV] or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment
• A history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months before enrollment
• An uncontrolled infection requiring intravenous injection of antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals
