Brief Summary

Hsp90 is a chemical in the body that is involved int he promotion of cancer. SNX-5422 is an experimental drug that blocks Hsp90.

Detailed Description

SNX-5422 is a prodrug for SNX-2112. Correlation has been observed between Hsp90 client protein level changes and functional effects in cells in in vitro studies of SNX-2112, supporting inhibition of Hsp90 as the mechanism of action for this compound. SNX-5422 has demonstrated significant antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models of human tumors, including breast (BT474, MX-1), colon (HT29), prostate (PC3), and melanoma (A375) with multiple oral dosing regimens. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in mice, rats, and dogs have shown high bioavailability of SNX-2112 following oral administration of SNX 5422. In mouse xenograft studies, SNX-2112 was selectively retained in tumor tissue compared with other tissues. This study will employ critical risk management features including the use of the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03, which provides a scale for consistently grading the severity of AEs, toxicity criteria analyses for dose escalation, frequent laboratory and clinical observations, correlation of AEs with plasma concentrations of SNX-5422 and SNX-2112, monitoring of the QTc interval at appropriate time points, and a conservative dose-escalation scheme.

SNX-5422SNX-5422Open label administration of SNX-5422 capsules every other day (QOD) for 21 days on a 28 day cycle. Dose escalation will be based on safety outcomes defined as 1 or less dose limiting toxicities during the first 28 day cycle at any dose level
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients with dose limiting toxicitiesFirst 28 day cycle

Number of patients with dose-limiting toxicities defined as AEs or laboratory abnormalities of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] version 4.03 ≥ Grade 3 that are not clearly related to disease progression

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients with adverse events as a measure of tolerabilityDay 28 of each cycle

Frequency and severity of AEs, changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination and clinical chemistry, hematology and urinalysis

Tumor progressionCompletion of every two 28 day cycles

Hematological disease assessment of all known sites of disease using the appropriate hematological malignancy response criteria compared to baseline
