Purpose
Co-selective inhibition of VEGFRs and FGFR has the potential benefit of blocking the two most relevant players in tumor angiogenesis and simultaneously targeting proliferation in FGF-driven tumors. E-3810 is a novel dual-targeted small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR1, 2, 3 and FGFR1 showing strong anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity in preclinical models at well-tolerated oral doses, with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. These properties make it an attractive candidate for development in humans.
This is a first-in-men open-label, uncontrolled, non-randomized, Phase I dose escalation study followed by dose-expansion at the identified Recommended Dose (RD) in patients with advanced solid tumours. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of E-3810 given orally, once daily for a 4-week course; treatment can continue without interval until progression based on overall clinical benefit. The study follows a conventional 3+3 MTD design, with dose escalation according to a modified Fibonacci scheme. Escalation will proceed up to the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) based on occurrence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in the initial 4-week course. The MTD is the dose level where ≥ 2 out of 3-6 patients experience DLTs, the next lowest dose level being the RD. Once the RD has been identified, additional patients, who could benefit from E-3810 treatment, i.e. with tumours sensitive to anti-angiogenic therapy and failing a prior anti-angiogenic regimen, or breast cancer with FGFR1 amplification, will be enrolled to obtain a more robust evaluation of the safety, PK and PD profile of E-3810 and preliminary information on its anti-tumour activity.
Serial safety assessments, including evaluation of symptoms, physical examination and blood and urine laboratory analyses are performed throughout the study. Cardiac functions and blood pressure are monitored in consultation with a cardiologist. PK parameters are determined on plasma samples collected during the first 4-week cycle and analyzed using a validated LC-MS/MS method. Correlative studies include: (i) quantitative assessment of the effects of E-3810 on tumor vasculature by DCE-MRI and DCE-US imaging; (ii) assay of angiogenesis biomarkers i.e. soluble VEGFR2, VEGFR1, VEGF, bFGF, Collagen IV (by ELISA) and circulating endothelial and progenitors cells (CEC and CEP). Tumor response is based on imaging according to RECIST; circulating tumor cells (CTC) are measured by the immunomagnetic CellSearch method.

Exclusion Criteria:
