Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lapatinib together with vinorelbine may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lapatinib when given together with vinorelbine in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the safety and feasibility of 2 different schedules of lapatinib ditosylate when administered with vinorelbine ditartrate in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Secondary

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of each of these regimens in these patients.
* Determine, preliminarily, the efficacy of these regimens in these patients.
* Examine tissue and blood specimens from these patients to investigate potential predictors of response.
* Determine the pharmacokinetics of lapatinib ditosylate and vinorelbine ditartrate in patients treated at the MTD.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I study comprising 2 separate, sequential dose-escalation studies of lapatinib ditosylate. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

* Group A (daily dosing): Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily on days 1-28 and vinorelbine ditartrate IV on days 1, 8, and 15.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of lapatinib ditosylate until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during course 1. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD. Once the MTD of lapatinib has been determined, patients may be accrued to group B or to a separate pharmacokinetics cohort in group A.

* Pharmacokinetics (PK) cohort\*: Patients in the PK cohort receive vinorelbine ditartrate IV as in group A and oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily at the MTD on days 3-28 (course 1 only) and on days 1-28 in all subsequent courses. Patients undergo PK sampling during course 1.

NOTE: \*Accrual to group B and to the PK cohort of group A may occur simultaneously.

* Group B (intermittent dosing): Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily at the MTD on days 2-5, 9-12, and 16-25 and vinorelbine ditartrate IV, on days 1, 8, and 15.

In both groups and in the PK cohort, treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who have completed 6 courses of combined therapy may receive additional courses with lapatinib ditosylate alone.

Patients undergo blood collection and buccal brushings periodically for pharmacokinetic and biomarker correlative studies. Archival tumor tissue is also evaluated for biomarkers, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and HER-2/neu expression levels, EGFR polymorphisms and gene mutations (including RAS), levels of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, and RAS mutations by immunohistochemistry, mutation analysis, TUNEL assay, and polymerase chain reaction.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 66 patients will be accrued for this study.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Cytologically or histologically proven advanced solid tumors for which there is no known standard therapy available or are not eligible for standard therapy because of their performance status, or have progressed after no more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease.

* Estimated survival of at least 3 months.
* Any prior chemotherapy must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to start of this protocol and all side effects (except alopecia) resolved to grade 1 or less. Any prior radiation must have been completed at least 2 weeks prior to start of therapy. For prior mitomycin chemotherapy a 6-week interval is required. Patients must have completed prior trastuzumab at least 4 weeks prior to start of protocol therapy.
* Adequate renal function
* Adequate liver function
* Pretreatment granulocyte count of \>1500/mm3 and platelet count of \>100 000/mm3.
* Cardiac ejection fraction within the institutional range of normal as measured by 2-D echocardiogram or MUGA scan.
* Asymptomatic treated brain metastasis may be included if they are neurologically stable and have been off steroids and anticonvulsants for at least 4 weeks.
* All patients must give informed consent.
* Able to take and retain oral medication.
* Patients of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive method

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients may not have previously received lapatinib, vinorelbine or any other EGFR-1 targeted agent. Prior trastuzumab is allowed.
* Females cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
* Symptomatic brain metastasis or still requiring steroids and anticonvulsants may not participate.
* Pre-existing neuropathy \> grade 2 may not participate.
* Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, will be excluded.
* History of other diseases, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or clinical laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or that might affect the interpretation of the results of the study or render the patient at high risk from treatment complications.
* Gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption.
* HIV-positive patients receiving combination anti-retroviral therapy are excluded from the study because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions with lapatinib.
* Patients requiring oral anticoagulants are eligible provided there is appropriate close INR monitoring is in place. If medically appropriate and treatment available, the investigator may also consider switching these patients to LMW heparin, where an interaction with lapatinib is not expected.
* Adherence to the requirements for concomitant medications classified as CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors, or gastric pH modifiers
