      • Abstract

      Background
      HM781-36B is an irreversible pan-HER TKI, which showed a strong anticancer activity in many cell lines, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) TKI resistant ones in preclinical studies. Two phase I studies were conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in patients with advanced solid tumor.

      Methods
      Patients with advanced malignancies refractory to standard therapies were eligible. Standard 3+3 dose escalation scheme was used in two phase I studies; a 2-weeks on / 1-week off schedule and a continuous dosing schedule.

      Results
      A total of 75 patients were enrolled; 55 patients in the 2-weeks on / 1-week off schedule and 20 patients in the continuous dosing schedule. 27 NSCLC patients were enrolled. Among 25 evaluable NSCLC patients, 3 patients achieved partial response (PR) and 10 patients had stable disease (SD). All 3 patients who achieved PR were previously treated with gefitinib, and one of them harbored EGFR T790M mutation. In addition, two of them had been treated with 4 or more regimens. Among 10 SD patients, 5 patients showed some degree of tumor shrinkage. Dose -limiting toxicity (DLT) was grade 3 diarrhea. The MTD was determined as 24 mg/day in the 2-weeks on / 1-week off schedule and 18 mg/day in the continuous dosing schedule. The recommended phase II dose was 16 mg/day (continuous) on the basis of toxicity, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles. Two phase II studies of HM781-36B are ongoing in NSCLC patients with previously EGFR TKI treated and EGFR TKI naive, respectively.

      Conclusion
      HM781-36B showed good safety profile and anticancer activity in NSCLC patients in two phase I studies. Effectiveness in the gefitinib refractory and heavily pretreated patients supported the potential of HM781-36B as a therapeutic agent for NSCLC.
