Abstract: | PurposeThe antimalarial drug artesunate (ART) is a promising candidate for cancer treatment as it displays anticancer effects in various models. While in short-term treatment of malaria, an excellent safety profile has been found for ART, the potential long-term treatment of cancer patients demands a phase I dose-finding clinical trial determining the daily ART dose which would be well tolerated as add-on therapy.MethodsPatients with metastatic breast cancer were to receive either 100 or 150 or 200 mg oral ART daily as add-on to their guideline-based oncological therapy for a study period of four weeks with frequent clinical and laboratory monitoring until 4-8 weeks thereafter. According to the statistical design, recruitment was scheduled in groups of three patients in order not to miss a more than 33% frequency of dose-limiting adverse events (DL-AE) prior to dose escalation.ResultsTwenty-three patients were recruited, and all planned dose levels were applied. During the actual trial period of 4 ± 1 weeks, three patients experienced six DL-AEs altogether (leucopenia, neutropenia, asthenia, anemia) possibly related to ART (not exceeding 33% in any dose level).ConclusionsUp to 200 mg/d (2.2-3.9 mg/kg/d) oral ART were safe and well tolerated; therefore, 200 mg/d are recommended for phase II/III trials. Safety monitoring should include reticulocytes, NTproBNP, as well as audiological and neurological exploration. |
