MSX-122 Administered Orally in Patients With Refractory Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors

Paused · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Solid Tumors

In brief

Primary Objectives: 1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase II dose(s) and schedule of MSX-122 2. To characterize the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and determine the overall safety and tolerability of MSX-122 Secondary Objectives: 1. To determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of orally administered MSX-122 2. To evaluate the preliminary evidence for anti-tumor activity of MSX-122 3. To perform correlative studies to elucidate signaling pathways involved in CXCR4 activation in blood and optional tissue specimens by IHC (immunohistochemistry) and RPPA (reverse phase protein microarrays)

You may qualify if…

Patients with pathologically confirmed advanced malignancy that is metastatic or unresectable and which is refractory to standard therapy or for which there is no standard therapy that provides benefit
Measurable or non-measurable disease at baseline
At least four weeks since the last dose of prior chemotherapy, treatment with biologic agents, radiation therapy or investigational agents
Patients must have recovered from the adverse effects of prior therapy at the time of enrollment to a grade one or less(excluding alopecia)
Patient will not be treated with any other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or investigational drug while enrolled on this protocol
Age >/= 18 year, male or female patients
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0,1, or 2
Life expectancy of greater than 3 months following study entry
Adequate renal function, defined by serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
Adequate hepatic function as defined by aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels </= to 2.5 x ULN and total bilirubin </= to 1.5 x ULN. In the presence of liver metastasis, adequate hepatic function is defined as ALT and AST </= 5 x ULN and total bilirubin </= 3 x ULN. Alkaline phosphatase levels less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN. In the presence of extensive bone metastases, alkaline phosphatase is defined as less than or equal to 5 x ULN
Adequate bone marrow function as defined by an absolute neutrophil count of >/= 1,500/mm3 (>/=1.5 x 10\^9/L), platelet count of >/= 100,000/mm3 (>/=100 x10\^9/L) and hemoglobin of >/= 8 gm/dL
Left ventricular ejection fraction of 50% or greater as measured by echocardiogram or MUGA
For women of childbearing potential, a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening
Women of child-bearing potential or men whose sexual partners are women of child-bearing potential must agree to use two methods of adequate contraception (e.g. hormonal and barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry, for the duration of the study, and for 21 days after the last dose of study medication. Acceptable methods of contraception include condoms, diaphragm ,birth control pills, birth control patch, hormonal injections, intrauterine device (IUD), surgical sterilization and/or under the skin implants
Signed and dated institutional review board (IRB)-approved informed consent before any protocol-specific screening procedures are performed

You may not qualify if…

Patients with uncontrolled concurrent illness, including but not limited to: ongoing or active infection; uncontrolled arterial hypertension (>/= 140/90 mm of mercury on medications); uncontrolled endocrine diseases (e.g. diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, adrenal disorder); altered mental status or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements and/or obscure study results
Patients with a history of a cardiovascular illness including but not confined to: CHF (grade III or IV NYHA); a history of angina pectoris within the previous year; history of any cardiac arrhythmia; QTc prolongation as determined by Bazett's formula and defined as QTc interval >480 msec (including patients on medication which may prolong QTc), or history of myocardial infarction within one year of study enrollment
Patients with leukemias or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
Immunocompromised patients, including subjects known to be infected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Patients with a history of autologous BMT within the previous five years. Patients with organ transplants, or allogeneic BMT will not be eligible for the study
Patients with untreated or uncontrolled brain metastasis, or patients with leptomeningeal disease
Patients unable to swallow oral medications or with pre-existing gastrointestinal disorders that might interfere with proper absorption of the oral drugs (e.g. WDHA syndrome, carcinoid syndromes, diarrhea due to infections, malabsorption syndromes secondary to surgery or chemotherapy).
Patients with a history of major surgery within 28 days of first receipt of study drug
Nursing or pregnant women
Patients with any other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or clinical laboratory finding that in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, or that may render the patient at excessively high risk for treatment complications
Patients with a history of one or more other primary carcinomas
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the drug product
