ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: CKD-516 is a newly developed vascular disrupting agent. This phase I dose-escalation study of CKD-516 was conducted to determine maximum-tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients received CKD-516 intravenously on D1 and D8 every 3 weeks, in a standard 3+3 design. Safety was evaluated by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ver. 4.02 and response was assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor ver. 1.1. RESULTS: Twenty-three patients were treated with CKD-516 at seven dosing levels: 1 mg/m2/day (n=3), 2 mg/m2/day (n=3), 3.3 mg/m2/day (n=3), 5 mg/m2/day (n=3), 7 mg/m2/day (n=3), 9 mg/m2/day (n=6), and 12 mg/m2/day (n=2). Mean age was 54 and 56.5% of patients were male. Two dose-limiting toxicities, which were both grade 3 hypertension, were observed in two patients at 12 mg/m2/day. The MTD was determined as 12 mg/m2/day. Most common adverse events were gastrointestinal adverse events (diarrhea, 34.8% [30.4% grade 1/2, 13.0% grade 3]; nausea, 21.7% [all grade 1/2]; vomiting, 21.7% [all grade 1/2]), myalgia (17.4%, all grade 1/2), and abdominal pain (21.7% [21.7% grade 1/2, 4.3% grade 3]). The pharmacokinetic study showed the dose-linearity of all dosing levels. Among 23 patients, six patients (26.1%) showed stable disease. Median progression-free survival was 39 days (95% confidence interval, 37 to 41 days). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates feasibility of CKD-516, novel vascular disrupting agent, in patients with advanced solid tumor. MTD of CKD-516 was defined as 12 mg/m2/day on D1 and D8 every 3 weeks.

One of the important purposes in population pharmacokinetic studies is to investigate the relationships between parameters and covariates to describe parameter variability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the model's ability to correctly detect the parameter-covariate relationship that can be observed in phase I clinical trials. Data were simulated from a two-compartment model with zero-order absorption and first-order elimination, which was built from valsartan's concentration data collected from a previously conducted study. With creatinine clearance (CLCR) being used as a covariate to be tested, 3 different significance levels of 0.001Subject(s)

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the strategy of strengthening ECG monitoring in phase I study and to provide references for the necessity of thorough QT/QTc study and for the subsequent development strategies. METHODS: Relevant progresses in cardiac safety studies and guidelines of QT/QTc study were referred to in discussing the study strategy. RESULTS: The applicable scope, protocol design and quality control of the strengthening ECG monitoring study have been preliminarily explored. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the phase I clinical trials, cardiac safety of the new drugs is preliminarily evaluated and screened, without increasing drug exposure, and this study during phase I clinical trial will provide basis and reference for the further QT/QTc trial.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of baicalein chewable tablets and establish the maximum tolerated dose in healthy volunteers. METHODS: A randomized, double-blind, dose-escalating, single-center, phase I clinical trial was conducted in 70 healthy male and female subjects. Each subject received oral baicalein only once. Adverse events were identified either by subject self-reporting or evaluation based upon vital signs, physical examination and laboratory parameters. The study was conducted from low to high dose, and the dose escalation was performed only after the safety and tolerability were confirmed favorable. RESULTS: Baicalein chewable tablets were well tolerated and had an acceptable safety profile up to the highest dose of 2800 mg. The vital signs of all subjects were stable, and no QTc interval prolongation was observed during the trial. A total of 11 mild adverse events were reported in 8 subjects. There were no severe adverse events in the study, and none of the adverse events led to withdrawal. CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the innovative drug baicalein chewable tablets are well tolerated in healthy Chinese volunteers within the dose range of 100 to 2800 mg.
