Article Title: Phase 1/2 study of topical submicron particle paclitaxel for cutaneous metastases of breast cancer
Abstract: Purpose This Phase 1/2 study evaluated safety and efficacy of a topical submicron particle paclitaxel (SPP) in an anhydrous ointment base (SOR007), primarily in breast cancer patients with cutaneous metastases (CM). Methods One of three concentrations of SOR007 SPP (0.15%, 1.0%, or 2.0%) was applied twice daily over an area of 50 cm(2) under a 3 + 3 phase 1 design for up to 28 days, with the option for expansion to an additional 28 days at the highest dose under a Phase 2a once safety was established. Efficacy was analyzed by lesion measurements and photographs to determine overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR), and progression free survival by day 28 or 56. Results Twenty-three subjects were enrolled, 21 with cutaneous metastases of breast cancer (CMOBC). Four subjects received SOR007 0.15% for a median of 28 days (range = 17-29), three at a dose of 1.0% for a median of 28 days (range = 6-29), and sixteen at 2.0% for a median of 55 days (range = 6-60). All doses were well tolerated, and 19 subjects were evaluable for efficacy. At day 28 across all dose levels, 16% (95% CI 3.4 to 39.6%) of subjects achieved an ORR and another 63% (95% CI 34.9-96.8%) had stable disease (SD). The proportion of patients being progression free at 28 days across all treatments was 79% (95 CI 54-94%). Conclusion Application of SOR007 0.15%, 1.0%, and 2.0% to CM was safe and well tolerated with some reduction in lesion pain, and minimal systemic absorption of paclitaxel. Lesion stabilization was observed in most subjects over the study period. A randomized, placebo-controlled trial to confirm these findings is warranted. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03101358.
