PURPOSE: To determine the maximum tolerated dose of administrating CI-1033, an oral 4-anilinoquinazoline that irreversibly inhibits the tyrosine kinase domain of all erbB subfamilies, on an intermittent schedule, and assess the interaction of CI-1033 with food on the pharmacokinetic behavior. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Escalating doses of CI-1033 from a dose level of 300 mg/day for 7 days every other week were administered to patients with advanced solid malignancies. Plasma concentration-time data sets from all evaluable patients were used to develop a population pharmacokinetic model. Noncompartmental methods were used to independently assess the effect of a high-fat meal on CI-1033 absorption and bioavailability. RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were treated with 69 twenty-eight day courses. The incidence of unacceptable toxicity, principally diarrhea and skin rash, was observed at the 300 mg/day dose level. At the 250 mg/day level, toxicity was manageable, and protracted administration was feasible. A one-compartment linear model with first-order absorption and elimination adequately described the pharmacokinetic disposition. CL/F, apparent volume of distribution (Vd/F), and ka (mean +/- relative SD) were 280 L/hour +/- 33%, 684 L +/- 20%, and 0.35 hour(-1)+/- 69%, respectively. Cmax values were achieved in 2 to 4 hours. Systemic CI-1033 exposure was largely unaffected by administration of a high-fat meal. At 250 mg, concentration values exceeded IC50 values required for prolonged pan-erbB tyrosine kinase inhibition in preclinical assays. CONCLUSIONS: The recommended dose on this schedule is 250 mg/day. Its tolerability and the biological relevance of concentrations achieved at the maximal tolerated dose warrant consideration of disease-directed evaluations. This intermittent treatment schedule can be used without regard to meals.
