Phase I pharmacokinetic study of dasatinib (BMS-354825) in patients with advanced malignancies and varying levels of liver dysfunction: S0711, a SWOG early therapeutics committee study.

3078 Background: Dasatinib (D) is a first in class Src kinase inhibitor, and inhibits BCR-Abl, c-Kit, PDGFR-beta, EPHA2 and Src family kinases including Src, Lck, Yes, Fyn at nanomolar concentrations. Initially FDA approved for use in imatinib resistant CML. It is a small molecule targeted therapy hepatically metabolized primarily by CYP3A4. We conducted a phase I study to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of D in patients (pts) with liver dysfunction (LD). Methods: Pts with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, Zubrod ≤2, no baseline ascites or pleural effusions, adequate renal and bone marrow function, received PO D daily. Cycles q28 days. Pts stratified into 4 LD groups: normal, mild, moderate, severe, using Child-Pugh classification (CPC). Data also collected for NCI ODWG Organ Dysfunction Working GroupCriteria. D dose was escalated in sequential cohorts of pts within each LD category. Blood analysis for D concentrations were determined during cycle 1 using a validated LC-M...
