Background: Ilorasertib (ABT-348) inhibits Aurora and VEGF receptor (VEGFR) kinases. Patients with advanced solid tumours participated in a phase 1 dose-escalation trial to profile the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of ilorasertib.

Methods: Ilorasertib monotherapy was administered at 10-180 mg orally once daily (Arm I, n = 23), 40-340 mg orally twice daily (Arm II, n = 28), or 8-32 mg intravenously once daily (Arm III, n = 7), on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle.

Purpose: The oral Bcl-2 inhibitor navitoclax demonstrated activity in solid and hematologic malignancies as monotherapy and in combination with other cytotoxic agents in preclinical and early clinical studies. We evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and antitumor activity of navitoclax plus irinotecan.

Methods: In this multicenter, open-label, phase 1 dose escalation study, adults with advanced solid tumors received navitoclax (starting dose 150 mg/day) in combination with 1 of 2 irinotecan schedules during a 21-day cycle: a once-every-3-week regimen (Q3W 180, 250, or 350 mg/m(2)) or a once-weekly regimen (QW 75 or 100 mg/m(2)).

Purpose: Navitoclax (ABT-263), a novel, oral Bcl-2 inhibitor, enhances the antitumor effects of chemotherapy in vitro by lowering the apoptotic threshold. This phase I study (NCT01009073) evaluated the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of navitoclax combined with erlotinib in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Patients And Methods: An open-label dose escalation study included an arm evaluating navitoclax combined with erlotinib, which included a dose escalation cohort and a planned safety expansion cohort.
