Abstract

Aurora kinase overexpression has been observed in patients with hematologic malignancies. MK-0457, a pan-aurora kinase inhibitor that also inhibits the ABL T315I mutant, was evaluated to treat patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with the T315I mutation. Adults with Ph+ chronic phase (CP)-, accelerated phase (AP)- or blast phase (BP)-CML, or ALL and documented BCR-ABL T315I mutation were treated with a 5-day continuous infusion of MK-0457 administered every 14 days at 40 mg/m2/h, 32 mg/m2/h or 24 mg/m2/h. Fifty-two patients (CP, n=15; AP, n=14; BP, n=11; Ph+ ALL, n=12) were treated. Overall, 8% of patients achieved major cytogenetic response; 6% achieved unconfirmed complete or partial response; 39% had no response. Two patients (CP CML) achieved complete hematologic response. No patients with advanced CML or Ph+ ALL achieved major hematologic response. The most common adverse event (AE) was neutropenia (50%). The most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (46%) and febrile neutropenia (35%). MK-0457 demonstrated minimal efficacy and only at higher, intolerable doses; lower doses were tolerated and no unexpected toxicities were observed. These data will assist in the development of future aurora kinase inhibitors and in the selection of appropriate target patient populations.

<abstract>
<p>Aurora kinase overexpression has been observed in patients with hematologic malignancies. MK-0457, a pan-aurora kinase inhibitor that also inhibits the ABL T315I mutant, was evaluated to treat patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) or Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with the T315I mutation. Adults with Ph+ chronic phase (CP)-, accelerated phase (AP)- or blast phase (BP)-CML, or ALL and documented BCR-ABL T315I mutation were treated with a 5-day continuous infusion of MK-0457 administered every 14 days at 40 mg/m

Two patients (CP CML) achieved complete hematologic response. No patients with advanced CML or Ph+ ALL achieved major hematologic response. The most common adverse event (AE) was neutropenia (50%). The most common grade 3/4 AEs were neutropenia (46%) and febrile neutropenia (35%). MK-0457 demonstrated minimal efficacy and only at higher, intolerable doses; lower doses were tolerated and no unexpected toxicities were observed. These data will assist in the development of future aurora kinase inhibitors and in the selection of appropriate target patient populations.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Significant progress has been made in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML); however, patients who progress from chronic phase (CP) CML to advanced disease respond poorly to therapy and have inadequate survival.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">1</xref>
</sup>
Critical to the pathogenesis of CML and a subset of Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) is a chromosomal rearrangement that results in a fusion gene, BCR-ABL, which encodes an unregulated cytoplasm-targeted tyrosine kinase.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
</sup>
Although first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors—such as imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib—have been used successfully to treat both CP and advanced CML, intolerance or resistance to these compounds presents a major challenge to treatment and the most common cause of treatment failure.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
</sup>
For instance, median survival of patients with blast phase (BP) CML who are refractory or intolerant to imatinib is 3 to 9 months.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib5">5</xref>
</sup>
Of particular concern is the ABL T315I ‘gatekeeper' mutation, which renders leukemia cells resistant to all commercially available tyrosine kinase inhibitors other than ponatinib.

<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib6">6</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>Aurora kinases (aurora-A, -B, -C) are serine/threonine protein kinases involved in the regulation of processes crucial for mitosis. Deregulation of aurora kinase activity promotes aberrant mitosis and chromosome instability. Overexpression of aurora kinases has been linked to tumorigenesis in a number of human cancers, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib7">7</xref>
</sup>
A high proportion of patients with hematologic malignancies—including acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), Ph+ leukemias, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma and Hodgkin lymphoma—overexpress aurora-A and -B; in some cases, overexpression has been linked to poorer outcomes.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib8">8</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>MK-0457 is a potent, small-molecule pan-aurora kinase inhibitor (binding affinity [K
<sub>i</sub>
]=~0.6–18 n
<sc>M</sc>
) that disrupts mitotic progression and induces apoptosis. MK-0457 also inhibits the activity of other kinases, including FLT3 (K
<sub>i</sub>
=~30 n
<sc>M</sc>
), JAK-2 (K
<sub>i</sub>
=~190 n
<sc>M</sc>
) and both wild type (K
<sub>i</sub>
~30 n
<sc>M</sc>
) and T315I-mutated ABL (K
<sub>i</sub>
~42 n
<sc>M</sc>
).

MK-0457 has been investigated for the treatment of both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.

The ability to inhibit multiple kinases, including the imatinib-resistant ABL T315I mutant, may be advantageous in the treatment of newly diagnosed and advanced disease.</p>
<p>In a phase 1/2 dose-escalation study in patients with refractory hematologic malignancies, treatment with MK-0457 was generally well tolerated.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>

Forty-four percent of CML patients with the BCR-ABL T315I mutation achieved a response, and responses were reported as durable.
<sup>

The current phase 2 study was conducted to further evaluate MK-0457 in patients with CML or Ph+ ALL carrying the T315I mutation.</p>

<sec>
<title>Study design and patient eligibility</title>
<p>This was a multicenter, open-label, nonrandomized, phase 2 study that evaluated the safety and efficacy of MK-0457 in patients with either CML or Ph+ ALL and confirmed BCR-ABL T315I mutation (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00405054;
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/">http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/</ext-link>
NCT00405054; Protocol 008). Bone marrow aspirate and blood for molecular analysis were collected at screening and analyzed locally to detect the BCR-ABL T315I mutation. Bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy was conducted before every other cycle for the first 3 months and then every 3 months, at the time of discontinuation and every 3 months during follow-up, and/or as clinically indicated or to confirm a response. Locally available assays were used for detection of the T315I mutation (examples included direct sequencing, fluorescence resonance energy transfer hybridization probe detection and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography).</p>
<p>Patients 18 years of age or older with Ph+ (or BCR-ABL+) CP CML, BP CML, accelerated phase (AP) CML or ALL were eligible. The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status had to be 2 or lower for CP CML patients and 3 or lower for all other patients. There were no restrictions on the number of prior therapies; however, administration of cytotoxic agents was not permitted within 2 weeks prior to study drug treatment, and a period of at least five half-lives was required for non-cytotoxic anti-leukemic agents. Hydroxyurea was permitted through the first treatment cycle to control peripheral blood leukemic cell counts. Patients must have had adequate liver and renal function (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome affecting total bilirubin) and were excluded if they had uncontrolled symptomatic congestive heart failure, angina or a myocardial infarction in the preceding 3 months; active infections including HIV, HBV and HCV; severe concurrent disease; or an active second malignancy, or if they had undergone an allogeneic bone marrow transplant within 3 months of starting the trial or had active uncontrolled graft-versus-host disease. Patients with known hypersensitivity to components of the study drug or analogs, or who were pregnant or breastfeeding, were also excluded. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and followed Good Clinical Practice guidelines. All documents were reviewed and approved by the individual institution review boards and all patients provided written informed consent prior to trial enrollment.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Treatment plan and assessments</title>
<p>Patients were treated using a 5-day continuous intravenous infusion of MK-0457 administered every 14 days, which constituted one cycle of treatment. The maximum tolerated dose was initially identified as 40 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h for the 5-day dosing schedule of MK-0457. The protocol was subsequently amended to include a lower starting dose of MK-0457 (32 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h) because of significant toxicity at 40 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h. Additional patients were enrolled at a lower dose of 24 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h, with further dose reductions permitted in patients for toxicity. Patients who were candidates for bone marrow transplant were permitted to leave the study for transplantation. Those patients who achieved a hematologic response prior to bone marrow transplantation were followed for disease outcomes. Patients were allowed to receive additional treatment cycles as long as they did not display clinically significant disease progression and continued to tolerate the study drug. Primary efficacy end points were major cytogenetic response (MCyR) for patients with CP CML and major hematologic response for patients with AP CML, BP CML and Ph+ ALL.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib14">14</xref>
</sup>
Key secondary efficacy end points were complete hematologic response in patients with CP CML and best cytogenetic response in patients with AP CML, BP CML and Ph+ ALL. Hematologic and cytogenetic responses were evaluated throughout the study from peripheral blood, bone marrow and lumbar puncture (for patients who were central nervous system positive). Hematologic response was required to be maintained for at least 28 days to be classified as a response. All patients were assessed for safety, which included physical examination, vital signs, chest X-rays, ECOG performance status, laboratory assessments and monitoring of adverse events (AEs). Adverse events were graded according to the United States National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0. Each of the four populations was considered an independent substudy. A Simon two-stage minimax design was used with a one-sided type 1 error of 0.025 and type 2 error of 0.10 using early stopping rules to terminate the substudy if the primary end point was unlikely to be met. A more conservative stopping rule was employed for the CP, BP and AP CML populations if none of the first 22 patients responded to treatment. The rate of response (MCyR for CP CML; major hematologic response for AP CML, BP CML and Ph+ ALL) in each population to declare the substudy positive with 90% power was 30% in BP, 30% in Ph+ ALL, 45% in AP and 35% in CP.</p>

<title>Patient characteristics and disposition</title>
<p>Between December 2006 and May 2008, 52 patients with T315I-positive CML or Ph+ ALL were enrolled and received at least one dose of study drug (
<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). Recruitment was halted prior to completion of the planned accrual target of 228 patients because of sponsor decision to discontinue the program due to change in priorities. Enrolled patients included 15 with CP CML, 14 with AP CML, 12 with Ph+ ALL and 11 with BP CML. The overall median age was 52 years (range 22–78) and the majority of patients (92%) had an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2. Fifty-four percent of patients had received at least four prior therapies and 29% had received one to three prior therapies, although therapies received may have been part of the same regimen. Seventeen percent were previously untreated. Twenty-six patients started treatment at 40 mg/m

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Aurora kinases are critical regulators of mitosis and have been implicated in cancer progression.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib11">11</xref>
</sup>
Inhibition of aurora kinases has therefore been pursued for the development of anticancer agents.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib11">11</xref>
</sup>
MK-0457 is a potent inhibitor of aurora kinases with cross-reactivity to other kinases such as FLT3 and ABL. Leukemia patients carrying the ABL T315I mutation are often resistant to all available tyrosine kinase inhibitors, presenting the clinical challenge of finding effective treatment options. These patients tend to have a poor prognosis, highlighting the need to develop new therapies to overcome this resistance.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib6">6</xref>
</sup>
Recent results from phase 1 and 2 trials evaluating the pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor ponatinib and the protein synthesis inhibitor omacetaxine have demonstrated efficacy in these poor-prognosis patients.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib15">15</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib16">16</xref>
</sup>
The number of patients who achieved cytogenetic response in a phase 2 trial of ponatinib was high; the subgroup of patients carrying the T315I mutation had higher response rates than those without,
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib17">17</xref>
</sup>
but cardiovascular and thrombotic AE limit the clinical appeal of this agent.</p>
<p>In this phase 2 study in patients with ABL T315I-mutated leukemia, cytogenetic responses were observed in 14% of patients (8% confirmed, 6% unconfirmed) with chronic and advanced-stage CML or Ph+ ALL. A significant number of patients were not evaluable for cytogenetic (48% of patients) or hematologic (25% of patients) responses; no responses were observed in 39% of patients and 60% of patients, respectively. Bone marrow biopsies were collected every other cycle to assess cytogenetic response and the likelihood of a patient discontinuing (due to toxicity, for example) prior to an assessment was high. The fact that a high percentage of patients were un-evaluable for response, may potentially explain the discrepancy with the positive responses reported in the phase 1/2 dose-escalation study in patients with refractory hematologic malignancies.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
</sup>
Many of the patients entered the current study heavily pretreated and with advanced disease. In general, MK-0457 was tolerated at lower doses and no unexpected toxicities were observed in this patient population. Higher doses were associated with an increase in the incidence and severity of adverse events.</p>
<p>Preliminary results from a phase 1 study in patients with solid tumors, presented after initiation of the current study, showed that infusion of 10 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h MK-0457 over 5 days in a 28-day cycle was the maximum tolerated dose.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">18</xref>
</sup>
Neutropenia was the most common AE, consistent with previously published reports, and likely due to aurora kinase inhibition on rapidly proliferating non-cancer cells.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib11">11</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib13">13</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>
</sup>
Additional hematologic and gastrointestinal disorders were also observed and overlap with the AE profile reported in other studies. Although gastrointestinal disorders were common, they were primarily grade 1 and 2. Gut epithelium contain rapidly cycling cells, potentially leading to the gastrointestinal events observed.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib11">11</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib13">13</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>
</sup>
In another phase 1 dose-escalation study in patients with advanced solid tumors, MK-0457 was administered as a 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion and was generally well tolerated in this heavily pretreated patient population. The maximum tolerated dose was 64 mg/m
<sup>2</sup>
/h. Stable disease was achieved for almost half of the 27 patients.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>A number of aurora kinase inhibitors currently in development for the treatment of hematologic malignancies have also demonstrated inhibitory activity (half maximal inhibitory concentration values ranging from 4 to 81 nmol/l) in patients with the ABL T315I mutation, including ENMD-2076 and AT9283.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib8">8</xref>
</sup>
Preclinical studies using cancer cells have demonstrated that aurora kinase inhibitors may provide benefit as part of combination therapy or in select patient populations. Cancer cells depleted of aurora-A were sensitized to the effect of chemotherapeutic agents, including taxanes, cisplatin, docetaxel and ionizing radiation.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib20">20</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib21">21</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">22</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib23">23</xref>
</sup>
Multiple cancer cell lines with defective p53-p21 pathways were more sensitive to the effects of MK-0457 than cells with wild-type p53-p21 pathways.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib24">24</xref>
</sup>
Although clinical development of MK-0457 has ceased, results from this and other studies that have evaluated the effects of aurora kinase inhibitors may help to guide selection and development of future anticancer agents, in combination or in select patient populations, and their use as potential chemosensitizers may be explored further.</p>
