  • A Phase I Dose-Finding, Pharmacokinetics and Genotyping
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A phase I dose‑fnding, pharmacokinetics and genotyping study of olaparib and lurbinectedin in patients with advanced solid tumors Andres Poveda1*, Ana Oaknin2, Ignacio Romero3, Angel Guerrero‑Zotano3, Lorena Fariñas‑Madrid2, Victor Rodriguez‑Freixinos4, Pedro Mallol5, Raquel Lopez‑Reig6,7 & Jose Antonio Lopez‑Guerrero6,7,8 The poly (ADP‑Ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib has shown antitumor activity in patients with ovarian or breast cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutations. Lurbinectedin is an ecteinascidin that generates DNA double‑strand breaks. We hypothesized that the combination of olaparib and lurbinectedin maximizes the DNA damage increasing the efcacy. A 3 + 3 dose‑escalation study examined olaparib tablets with lurbinectedin every 21 days. The purpose of this phase I study is to determine the dose‑limiting toxicities (DLTs) of the combination, to investigate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), efcacy, pharmacokinetics, in addition to genotyping and translational studies. In total, 20 patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers were included. The most common adverse events were asthenia, nausea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, neutropenia, anemia. DLT grade 4 neutropenia was observed in two patients in dose level (DL) 5, DL4 was defned as the MTD, and the RP2D was lurbinectedin 1.5 mg/m2 + olaparib 250 mg twice a day (BID). Mutational analysis revealed a median of 2 mutations/case, 53% of patients with mutations in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. None of the patients reached a complete or partial response; however, 60% of stable disease was achieved. In conclusion, olaparib in combination with lurbinectedin was well tolerated with a disease control rate of 60%.

Accordingly, growing 30 evidence suggests that R-loops may also be related to cancer. Here we 31 show that R-loops play an important role in the cellular response to 32 trabectedin (ET743), an anticancer drug from marine origin and its derivative 33 lurbinectedin (PM01183). Trabectedin and lurbinectedin induced RNA-DNA 34 hybrid-dependent DNA damage in HeLa cells, causing replication 35 impairment and genome instability.

  • Efficacy and Safety of Lurbinectedin and Doxorubicin in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer
    Investigational New Drugs https://doi.org/10.1007/s10637-020-01025-x PHASE I STUDIES Efficacy and safety of lurbinectedin and doxorubicin in relapsed small cell lung cancer. Results from an expansion cohort of a phase I study María Eugenia Olmedo1 & Martin Forster2 & Victor Moreno3 & María Pilar López-Criado4 & Irene Braña5 & Michael Flynn2 & Bernard Doger3 & María de Miguel6 & José Antonio López-Vilariño7 & Rafael Núñez7 & Carmen Kahatt7 & Martin Cullell-Young7 & Ali Zeaiter7 & Emiliano Calvo6 Received: 15 October 2020 /Accepted: 22 October 2020 # The Author(s) 2021 Summary Background A phase I study found remarkable activity and manageable toxicity for doxorubicin (bolus) plus lurbinectedin (1-h intravenous [i.v.] infusion) on Day 1 every three weeks (q3wk) as second-line therapy in relapsed small cell lung cancer (SCLC). An expansion cohort further evaluated this combination. Patients and methods Twenty-eight patients with relapsed SCLC after no more than one line of cytotoxic-containing chemotherapy were treated: 18 (64%) with sensitive disease (chemotherapy-free interval [CTFI] ≥90 days) and ten (36%) with resistant disease (CTFI <90 days; including six with refractory disease [CTFI ≤30 days]). Results Ten patients showed confirmed response (overall response rate [ORR] = 36%); median progression-free survival (PFS) = 3.3 months; me- dian overall survival (OS) = 7.9 months. ORR was 50% in sensitive disease (median PFS = 5.7 months; median OS = 11.5 months) and 10% in resistant disease (median PFS = 1.3 months; median OS = 4.6 months). The main toxicity was transient and reversible myelosuppression. Treatment-related non-hematological events (fatigue, nausea, de- creased appetite, vomiting, alopecia) were mostly mild or moderate.
