- CHS 828 is a cyanoguanidine, which has demonstrated potent antitumor activity in preclinical tumor models. The activity of CHS 828 in vitro showed only low to moderate correlation to other antineoplastic agents suggesting a unique mechanism of action. Ten females and 6 males (median age 58 years) with solid tumors refractory to standard therapy were included in this Phase I study. The study drug was administered to fasting patients as a single oral dose on days 1–5 of each treatment cycle. Patients received one to six cycles of treatment. The doses ranged from 30 mg to 200 mg (total dose within a cycle). Hematological toxicity was generally mild and dominated by transient thrombocytopenia and lymphocytopenia. Nonhematological toxicity most frequently consisted of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, and localized genital mucositis. The dose-limiting toxicities were thrombocytopenia, thrombosis, esophagitis, diarrhea, and constipation. The recommended Phase II dose of CHS 828 was 20 mg once daily for 5 days in cycles of 28 days duration. The extent of systemic exposure of CHS 828 across patients was approximately dose proportional. The time at which the highest drug concentration occurs was 2.2 ± 1.3 h and half-life was 2.1 ± 0.52 h (mean ± SD). Large intra- and interindividual variation in dose level-adjusted maximum plasma concentration and the area under the curve from time 0 h to infinity were observed. There was an apparent inverse relationship between systemic exposure of CHS 828, and thrombocyte and lymphocyte nadir levels. No objective tumor responses were observed, and 7 patients showed stable disease after two courses of therapy.

Preclinical and Clinical Development of the Novel Cyanoguanidine CHS 828 for Cancer Treatment

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- CHS 828 is a cyanoguanidine with anti-tumour properties which has shown promising effects in several preclinical models. This thesis describes both preclinical and clinical studies aiming to investigate disease specific activity, clinical tolerability and efficacy of CHS 828.In paper I we investigated CHS 828 activity in a cell line panel with human myeloma cells, three of these cell-lines were also tested in vivo using a hollow fibre rat-model. In paper II we investigated CHS 828 activity in primary human tumour samples from patients. CHS 828 showed an effect on all tumour cell types tested both the primary human tumour samples and the myeloma cell lines. Notably, CHS 828 showed a high relative in vitro activity against tumour cells from chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and high-grade lymphoma. In a phase I trial we determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CHS 828. Haematological toxicity was generally mild and dominated by transient thrombocytopenia and lymphocytopenia. Non-haematological toxicity was mostly of gastrointestinal origin. The recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of CHS 828 was estimated to be 20 mg once daily for five days in cycles of 28 days duration.In a phase II trial we investigated the effect of CHS 828 on patients diagnosed with B-CLL. In total 12 patients were enrolled. CHS 828 was found to be well tolerated and the most common haematological toxicity was thrombocytopenia. Non-haematological toxicities were generally mild. Transient decreases in lymphocyte counts could be discerned coinciding with drug dosing, but no sustained clinical responses could be achieved.In conclusion, CHS 828 demonstrated marked effects in the preclinical investigations suggesting haematological malignancies as the main target. The clinical phase I study established a safe dose and the subsequent phase II trial in B-CLL patients showed biological effect but with no clinical disease response.
