Purpose: Satraplatin is a third generation oral platinum, which has demonstrated antitumor activity. The aim of this phase I study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of satraplatin and gemcitabine in patients previously treated with chemotherapy and in patients without prior chemotherapy.

Patients And Methods: Two separate MTDs were planned in two different patient groups (those with and without prior chemotherapy treatment). Dose escalations were planned in cohorts of three patients. Tumor measurements were obtained every two cycles. Assessment of response was performed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST criteria v.1.0).

Results: Thirty subjects were enrolled. A MTD of gemcitabine 1000 mg/m(2) days 1 and 8 plus satraplatin 60 mg/m(2) days 1-3, every 21 days was determined in the prior chemotherapy group. No MTD could be determined for the no prior chemotherapy group treated with this schedule. Five patients completed 12 treatment cycles; 22 serious adverse events (SAE) were observed. Although not an entry criteria, overall confirmed response was observed in 17 (24%) evaluable patients (complete response, CR = 1 and partial response, PR = 3) and in 3/7 (43%) patients with measure prostate cancer lesions.

Conclusions: In this phase Ib study, the combination of satraplatin and gemcitabine demonstrated to be safe and efficacious in particular in patients with prostate cancer.

Background: In the phase III SPARC trial, satraplatin, an oral platinum analogue, demonstrated anticancer activity in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Repeat biopsies are uncommon in mCRPC, limiting the feasibility of tissue-based biomarkers. This phase II study sought to evaluate the feasibility and utility of blood-based biomarkers to identify platinum-sensitive mCRPC.

The problems with anticancer therapy are resistance and toxicity. From 3000 Cisplatin derivatives tested as antitumor agents, most of them have been rejected, due to toxicity. The aim of current study is the comparison of therapeutic combinations of the currently applied in clinical practice: Cisplatin, Carboplatin, Oxaliplatin, Nedaplatin, Lobaplatin, Heptaplatin, and Satraplatin.

Background/aim: Satraplatin is an oral platinum analog with proven clinical efficacy and a more favorable toxicity profile, although with increased hematotoxicity, when compared to cisplatin. Hence, we carried out a systematic biomarker analysis to identify hematological malignancies with high susceptibility to satraplatin.

Materials And Methods: Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC) for satraplatin and cisplatin were determined for 66 different cancer cell lines by CTG Luminescent Cell Viability Assay.

The acquired drug resistance of the platinum-based drug is a main obstacle in cancer therapy. Herein, an aminopyrrolic receptor 1 was synthesized to sensitize satraplatin for overcoming the drug resistance as well as improving tumor targeted ability. Thus, Pluronic F127-based polyaniline nanoparticles were designed to co-deliver satraplatin and aminopyrrolic receptor 1, which could control the drug release with the Near Infrared laser irradiation (808 nm) due to the polyaniline mediated photothermal conversion.

Purpose: Oxaliplatin and satraplatin demonstrate activity against cisplatin-resistant tumor cells. Although the two platinum analogs are structurally-related, oxaliplatin is more active. Therefore, studies focusing on protein expression profiling were undertaken to identify the molecular mechanism for the difference in antitumor activity.
