Tenalisib (RP6530) is a novel, highly specific dual phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K) delta/gamma inhibitor with nanomolar potency. It demonstrated acceptable safety up to 1200 mg twice a day with no dose-limiting toxicities in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. Consistent clinical response was seen at doses 200 mg and above. Further phase I/II studies are being undertaken to evaluate efficacy across different histologies. Background: Tenalisib (RP6530) is a novel, highly specific, dual phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K) delta/gamma inhibitor with nano-molar potency. Material and Methods: This was a phase I, open-label, 3 + 3 dose escalation, maximum tolerated dose determination study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of tenalisib in patients with relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. Tenalisib was administered orally twice/thrice daily in 28-day cycles with starting dose of 25 mg twice daily. Results: Thirty-five patients were enrolled across 11 dose levels. No dose limiting toxicity was reported at any of the dose levels. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events irrespective of causality were asthenia and cough in 15 (43%) patients and pyrexia in 13 (37%) patients. The most frequently reported related treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Related grade 3/4 adverse events were limited to events of hypertriglyceridemia, neutropenia, and diarrhea.Pharmacokinetics showed rapid absorption. Based on maximum plasma concentration and area under the plasma-concentration time curve, dose proportionality was observed up to 400 mg dose. Of 31 patients included in the efficacy analysis, complete response was seen in 2 (7%) patients and partial response in 4 (13%) patients, with an overall response rate of 19% and a disease-control rate of 61%. The median duration of response was 5.7 months. Responders demonstrated a marked downregulation of phospho-AKT on C1D8. Conclusion: Tenalisib demonstrated acceptable safety up to 1200 mg twice a day with no dose-limiting toxicities. Consistent clinical response was seen at doses 200 mg BID and above. Pharmacodynamics correlated well with clinical outcome. Further phase I/II studies are being undertaken to evaluate efficacy across different histologies. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
