Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients who have failed prior therapies [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To recommend a dose for subsequent studies of IPI-504 [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To examine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of IPI-504 in GIST and STS patients [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To assess in a preliminary way the potential anti-tumor activity of IPI-504 in GIST and STS. [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To explore potential pharmacodynamic (PD) markers of biologic activity of IPI-504 in GIST and STS. [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Schedule A: Doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 followed by 10 days with no study drug administration.
 Drug: IPI-504

IV administration of IPI-504 for 21-day cycles. Two different schedules of treatment will be tested. On Schedule A, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 followed by 10 days with no study drug administration. On Schedule B, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18, or twice weekly for 3 weeks continuously.

For both Schedule A and B doses will be administered ≥ 72 hours apart.
Experimental: 2
Schedule B: Doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18 (twice weekly for 3 weeks continuously).
 Drug: IPI-504

IV administration of IPI-504 for 21-day cycles. Two different schedules of treatment will be tested. On Schedule A, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 followed by 10 days with no study drug administration. On Schedule B, doses occur on Days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, and 18, or twice weekly for 3 weeks continuously.

For both Schedule A and B doses will be administered ≥ 72 hours apart.

Detailed Description:

IPI-504 is a novel, water-soluble analog of 17-AAG and a potent inhibitor of Hsp90. Hsp90's role in the cell is to control the proper folding, function, and viability of various "client" proteins. Many of these client proteins (such as AKT, Her-2, Bcr-Abl, PDGFR-α, and c-Kit) are oncoproteins or important cell signaling proteins. In patients with GIST, mutations in the tyrosine kinase receptor Kit play a critical role in the pathogenesis of this disease. Inhibition of Kit signaling with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Imatinib (IM) is a very effective treatment for GIST patients. However, new mutations arise in Kit conferring resistance to IM treatment which results in disease progression. Kit is a client protein of Hsp90 and is sensitive to IPI-504. In Soft Tissue Sarcomas, there may be genetic abnormalities that lead to the expression of certain proteins that drive the growth of cancer. These cancer-driving proteins may be stimulated by HSP90. This provides a scientific rationale for Phase 1 clinical testing of IPI-504 in patients with advanced GIST and STS who have failed prior therapies.
