Whаt Phаse оf clinicаl trial is being described if we specifically fоcus оn 'Part A' in the abstract below? Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and biological activity of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) administered by 2-h i.v. infusion in patients with advanced cancer. Experimental Design: SAHA was administered for 3 days every 21 days in part A and 5 days for 1–3 weeks in part B. Dose escalation proceeded independently in patients with solid tumor and hematological malignancies (part B only). Pharmacokinetic studies were performed along with assessment of acetylated histones in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and tumor tissues. Results: No dose-limiting toxicities were observed in 8 patients enrolled in part A (75, 150, 300, 600, and 900 mg/m2/day). Among 12 hematological and 17 solid tumor patients enrolled in part B (300, 600, and 900 mg/m2/day), therapy was delayed ≥1 week for grade 3/4 leukopenia and/or thrombocytopenia in 2 of 5 hematological patients at 600 mg/m2/day × 5 days for 3 weeks. The maximal-tolerated dose was 300 mg/m2/day × 5 days for 3 weeks for hematological patients. One solid patient on 900 mg/m2/day × 5 days for 3 weeks developed acute respiratory distress and grade 3 hypotension. The cohort was expanded to 6 patients, and no additional dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Mean terminal half-life ranged from 21 to 58 min, and there was dose-proportional increase in area under the curve. An accumulation of acetylated histones in peripheral blood mononuclear cells up to 4 h postinfusion was observed at higher dose levels. Posttherapy tumor biopsies showed an accumulation of acetylated histones by immunohistochemistry. Four (2 lymphoma and 2 bladder) patients had objective tumor regression with clinical improvement in tumor related symptoms. Conclusions: Daily i.v. SAHA is well tolerated, inhibits the biological target in vivo, and has antitumor activity in solid and hematological tumors.
