Camptothecin (CPT) is a potent broad-spectrum anticancer agent that acts through inhibition of topoisomerase 1. Clinical development of CPT was unsuccessful due to poor drug solubility, insufficient in vivo stability of the active form, and toxicity. In order to address these issues, a polymeric nanoparticle comprised of cyclodextrin-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer (CDP) conjugated to CPT (CRLX101) has been developed and Phase 2 clinical studies are ongoing. Camptothecin is conjugated to the polymer in its active form at 10-12 wt.% loading. CRLX101 self-assembles in solution into nanoparticles with an apparent solubility increase of >1000-fold as compared to the parent drug camptothecin. Preclinical studies exhibited CRLX101 pharmacokinetics superior to the parent drug. Drug concentration in tumor relative to plasma and other major organs is consistent with the enhanced permeation and retention (EPR) anticipated from a nanoparticle. Significant anti-tumor activity was observed that is superior when compared to irinotecan across a broad range of xenograft models. Pharmacokinetic data are consistent with the prolonged half-life and increased AUC. The CRLX101 preclinical and clinical data confirm that CDP can address not only solubility, formulation, toxicity, and pharmacokinetic challenges associated with administration of CPT, but more importantly, can impart unique biological properties, that enhance pharmacodynamics and efficacy of camptothecin.
