Regorafenib is a novel oral multikinase inhibitor of angiogenic (VEGFR1-3, TIE2), stromal (PDGFR-β, FGFR), and oncogenic kinases (KIT, RET, RAF). This first-in-man, phase I dose-escalation study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, efficacy profiles regorafenib in patients with advanced solid tumors.Patients aged 18 years or older tumors refractory to standard treatment were recruited. was administered orally for 21 days on/seven off repeating cycles, until discontinuation...
In a phase I dose-escalation study, regorafenib demonstrated tolerability and antitumour activity in solid tumour patients. The study was expanded to focus on patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients received oral 60–220 mg daily (160 the extension cohort) cycles of 21 days on, 7 off treatment. Assessments included toxicity, response, pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics. Thirty-eight heavily pretreated CRC (median 4 prior lines therapy, range 0–7) were enrolled phases; 26 160...

Abstract Purpose: Monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) kinase inhibitor, BAY 1217389 (BAY) synergizes with paclitaxel. This phase I study assessed the combination of paclitaxel using a novel randomized continuous reassessment method (rCRM) to improve dose determination. Patients and Methods: solid tumors were receive oral (twice daily 2-days-on/5-days-off) weekly (90 mg/m2) or monotherapy in cycle 1. Dose escalation was guided by CRM modeling. Primary objectives assess safety, establish MTD BAY,...
The CONSORT (CONsolidated Standards Of Reporting Trials) 2010 statement is the standard guideline for reporting completed randomised trials. Dose-finding Extension (DEFINE) extends guidance (with 21 new items and 19 modified items) to early phase dose-finding trials with interim dose escalation or de-escalation strategies. Such generally focus on safety, tolerability, activity, recommending dosing scheduling regimens further clinical development. These are often inadequately reported,...
SummaryEarly phase dose-finding (EPDF) trials are key in the development of novel therapies, with their findings directly informing subsequent clinical phases and providing valuable insights for reverse translation. Comprehensive transparent reporting these studies is critical accurate interpretation, which may improve expedite therapeutic development. However, quality design characteristics results from EPDF often variable incomplete. The international consensus-based CONSORT-DEFINE...
Dual agent dose-finding trials study the effect of a combination more than one agent, where objective is to find Maximum Tolerated Dose Combination (MTC), doses two agents that associated with pre-specified risk being unsafe. In Phase I/II setting, dose both safe and active, Optimal Biological (OBD), optimizes criterion based on safety activity. Since Oncology treatments are typically given over multiple cycles, activity outcome can be considered as late-onset, potentially occurring in later...

BAY 1895344 novel, potent, selective inhibitor with anti-tumor activity in preclinical models DDR defects. Methods: Pts advanced metastatic solid tumors resistant or refractory to standard treatment, without defects, received BID, 3 days (d) on/4 d off continuously 3-weekly cycles. Results: As December 20, 2018, 18 pts colorectal (4), breast (3), prostate (2),...
Background: The use of ‘backfilling’, assigning additional patients to doses deemed safe, in phase I dose-escalation studies has been used practice collect information on the safety profile, pharmacokinetics and activity a drug. These help ensure that maximum tolerated dose is reliably estimated give determine recommended II dose. Methods: In this article, we study effect employing backfilling trial estimation duration study. We consider situation where only one cycle follow-up for...
SPIRIT (Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials) 2013 provides guidance clinical trial protocol writing.

An objective of phase I dose‐finding trials is to find the maximum tolerated dose; dose with a particular risk toxicity. Frequently, this assessed across first cycle therapy. However, in oncology, course treatment frequently consists multiple cycles In many cases, overall toxicity for given not fully encapsulated by observations from cycle, and hence it advantageous include outcomes later trials. Extending follow up period trial naturally extends total length which undesirable. We present...
