BACKGROUND:

Surgery is a common treatment strategy for patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-related plexiform neurofibroma (PN) and has limited efficacy. FCN-159 is a novel anti-tumorigenic drug via selective inhibition of MEK1/2. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of FCN-159 in patients with NF1-related PN.

METHODS:

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase I dose-escalation study. Patients with NF1-related PN that was non-resectable or unsuitable for surgery were enrolled; they received FCN-159 monotherapy daily in 28-day cycles.

RESULTS:

Nineteen adults were enrolled in the study, 3 in 4 mg, 4 in 6 mg, 8 in 8 mg, and 4 in 12 mg. Among patients included in dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) analysis, DLTs (grade 3 folliculitis) were reported in 1 of 8 patients (16.7%) receiving 8 mg and 3 of 3 (100%) patients receiving 12 mg. The maximum tolerated dose was determined to be 8 mg. FCN-159-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were observed in 19 patients (100%); most of which were grade 1 or 2. Nine (47.4%) patients reported grade 3 study-drug-related TEAEs across all dose levels, including four experiencing paronychia and five experiencing folliculitis. Of the 16 patients analyzed, all (100%) had reduced tumor size and six (37.5%) achieved partial responses; the largest reduction in tumor size was 84.2%. The pharmacokinetic profile was approximately linear between 4 and 12 mg, and the half-life supported once daily dosing.

CONCLUSIONS:

FCN-159 was well tolerated up to 8 mg daily with manageable adverse events and showed promising anti-tumorigenic activity in patients with NF1-related PN, warranting further investigation in this indication.

Article

Author: Wang, Xuhong ; Qiu, Jingjun ; Wei, Zhen ; Hui, Ai-Min ; Tan, Yan ; Diao, Lei ; Li, Jiangfan ; Wu, Zhuli ; Han, Pu ; Li, Kexin

INTRODUCTION:

FCN-159 is a novel, oral, potent, selective MEK1/2 inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of NRAS-mutant advanced melanoma and neurofibromatosis type 1. We investigated the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of FCN-159.

METHODS:

In this single-center, open-label, phase 1 study with a three-period, three-sequence, crossover design, healthy Chinese male subjects (n = 24) were randomized (1:1:1) to receive a single, oral 8 mg dose of FCN-159 in the fasted state (overnight, > 10 h), and with a low-fat and a high-fat meal, separated by a 10-day washout. PK parameters including time to maximum plasma concentration (C_max) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) were compared using geometric least-squares mean ratios (GLSMR), with the fasted state as the reference. A 90% CI for the GLSMR within 80-125% indicated no significant food effect.

RESULTS:

A low-fat meal (n = 23) did not affect the PK profile of FCN-159: G LSMR for AUC from time 0 to t (AUC_0-t), 106.9% (90% CI 99.9-114.4%); AUC from time 0 to infinity (AUC_0-∞), 106.8% (90% CI 100.0-114.0%); C_max, 96.4% (90% CI 83.9-110.8%). A high-fat meal (n = 24) did not affect exposure to FCN-159 (GLSMR for AUC_0-t, 99.4%; 90% CI 99.0-106.3%; AUC_0-∞, 99.5 5%; 90% CI 93.2-106.1%), but modestly reduced C_max by 15% (GLSMR 84.9%; 90% CI 74.0-97.3%). Both the low-fat and high-fat meals slightly prolonged the median time to C_max by 0.5 h (90% CI 0.5-1.0 h). FCN-159 was generally well tolerated, with a lower incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events following administration in the fasted state than with a low-fat or high-fat meal (20.8%, 39.1%, and 37.5%, respectively).

CONCLUSION:

Food did not affect the PK profile of FCN-159 to a clinically meaningful extent compared with administration in the fasted state.

BACKGROUND:

A phase 1a first-in-human study evaluated the safety/tolerability, preliminary antitumour activity and pharmacokinetics of the oral MEK1/2 inhibitor FCN-159 in Chinese patients with advanced, NRAS-mutant melanoma.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Patients received a single FCN-159 dose at assigned levels, proceeding to continuous dosing (once daily [QD] for 28-day cycles) if no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred within the next 3 days. Dose escalation was initiated after review of data for the previous dose level. The primary end-point was incidence of DLTs after the first dose.

RESULTS:

Thirty-three patients were enrolled across nine FCN-159 dose groups (0.2-15 mg QD). One DLT occurred: grade 3 folliculitis in the 15-mg group. There was one grade >3 treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE), death of unknown aetiology (not FCN-159 related). The most common FCN-159-related TEAE was rash (36.4%), and the incidence of grade ≥3 FCN-159-related TEAEs was 15.2%. Antitumour activity at QD doses <6 mg was limited; therefore, efficacy data are presented only for doses ≥6 mg (n = 21). The objective response and clinical benefit rates were 19.0% (four partial responses) and 52.4%, respectively. Median (95% confidence interval) duration of response and progression-free survival were 4.8 months (2.8-not reached) and 3.8 months (1.8-5.6), respectively. FCN-159 exposure increased dose-proportionately; geometric mean terminal half-life was 29.9-56.9 h.

CONCLUSIONS:

FCN-159 was well tolerated and demonstrated promising antitumour activity at doses ≥6 mg QD in patients with advanced, NRAS-mutant melanoma. The recommended phase 2 dose was 12 mg QD.
