Pfizer is developing an orally available, potent, small molecule, panHER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, PF 299804, for the treatment of cancer. PF 299804 binds irreversibly to HER1, HER2 and HER4 tyrosine kinases. Clinical development is underway in patients with various cancer types in multiple countries, including the US, Canada, Japan, and countries in Europe and South America.
Key development milestones
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A placebo-controlled phase III trial of PF 299804 in patients with stage IIIB or IV NSCLC refractory to standard therapy began in Canada in late 2009 (NCT01000025). Planned enrolment is 720 patients and the primary outcome measure is overall survival. Completion of the trial is projected for late 2012.
Pfizer has initiated a phase II trial (A7471017; NCT00818441) to assess the safety and efficacy of PF 299804 in patients with untreated adenoarcinoma of the lung. This trial is enrolling approximately 80 patients from sites in the US, Hong Kong and South Korea. Enrolment was continuing in February 2010.
In January 2008, Pfizer initiated a phase I/II trial (A7471003; NCT00553254) of PF 299804 in patients with advanced, refractory lung cancer, in South Korea. This single-arm, dose-escalation study will evaluate the efficacy of the drug in 80 patients with KRAS wild type advanced NSCLC which is refractory to chemotherapy and erlotinib or gefitinib. The study will also determine the recommended phase II dose for PF 299804. Dose escalation (once-daily) will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Preliminary results have been reported/1/. Pfizer reported in February 2010 that the study was continuing to recruit participants.
Also in January 2008, Pfizer initiated a phase II trial (A7471002; NCT00548093) of PF 299804 monotherapy in the US, in patients with advanced NSCLC, for whom treatment with at least one chemotherapy plus erlotinib was unsuccessful. The open-label, single group trial will enrol 74 patients who will be assessed for objective response rate over 6 months. Secondary outcome measures will be assessed over 6, 12 and 18 months. Pfizer reported in February 2010 that recruitment was continuing.
In November 2008, Pfizer initiated a phase II trial (A7471028; NCT00769067) in the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Poland, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan and the UK in patients with advanced NSCLC who have progressed after chemotherapy. The trial will enrol 160 patients who will be randomised to PF 299804 or erlotinib. The primary outcome measure is progression-free survival over 13 months. Recruitment of participants was continuing in February 2010; completion of the trial is anticipated by the end of 2010.
In February 2010, Pfizer initiated a US-based phase I trial to evaluate the molecular changes in tumour tissue after short-term exposure to neoadjuvant PF 299804 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer scheduled to undergo surgical resection (NCT00971191). The estimated study completion date is May 2011.
Glioblastoma: a phase II trial of PF 299804 in patients with relapsed/recurrent glioblastoma is projected to start in the US in mid-2010 (NCT01036477).
Head and neck cancer: in November 2008, Pfizer initiated a phase II open-label, single group trial (A7471027; NCT00768664) in Canada, in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell cancer. The trial will enrol 56 patients patients who have not yet received any other drug treatment for this condition. The primary outcome measure will be the best overall response rate at 18 months. The trial is expected to be completed in 2011.
Solid tumours: a phase I, open-label, single group phase I trial (A7471005; NCT00783328) was initiated in Japan in November 2008, in patients with advanced solid tumours. The trial will enrol 12 patients, and the primary outcome measure will be safety. The study was continuing in February 2010; enrolment of patients has been completed.
In June 2008, Pfizer initiated a US-based, phase I, open-label, single group trial (A7471004; NCT00728390) of oral PF 299804 in combination with intravenously administered figitumumab, in patients with advanced solid tumours. The trial is enrolling 65 patients at sites in the US, France and Spain who will be assessed for safety over 18 months. Enrolment was reported to be continuing in February 2010.
A phase I trial to investigate the effect of PF 299804 on the pharmacokinetics of dextromethorphan in patients with advanced malignant solid tumours began in September 2008 (NCT00728468). Enrolment was continuing in February 2010; study completion is anticipated during 2010.
In October 2005, Pfizer initiated a phase I, open-label, single group trial (A7471001; NCT00225121) in the US and the Netherlands, in patients with advanced, malignant solid tumours. The trial has enrolled 120 patients and is assessing safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The study was reported to be continuing in February 2010.
Healthy volunteers: Pfizer conducted an open-label, single- radiolabeled dose, phase I study (NCT01034748) to investigate the absorption, metabolism and excretion of PF 299804 in six healthy male volunteers. The trial was completed in February 2010.

Adverse Events:
In a phase I/II study of PF 299804 in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer after failure of at least one chemotherapy and erlotinib, the most common Grade 3 adverse events included skin disorders (15.1%) and diarrhea (13.2%). Three patients experienced Grade 4 pulmonary embolus/dyspnea, which may have been treatment- related/2/.
Daily administration of PF 299804 (0.5-60mg) was tolerable and safe, in a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumours. The most commonly reported adverse events (AEs) of any grade were diarrhoea (78%) and rash (65%). PF 299804 was found to produce these AEs in a significant dose- or exposure-dependent manner. A total of 3/6 patients who received PF 299804 60 mg experienced a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of hand-foot syndrome, dehydration related to diarrhoea, and mucositis, respectively. The 23 patients who received the 45mg dose experienced grade 3 fatigue, DVT, nausea, acne, hypokalaemia, diarrhoea, hypoxia and decreased appetite. Grade 4 toxicities experienced by these patients were dyspnea, pulmonary embolism and pain/1/ /3/ /4/.
Pharmacokinetics:
The C sub(max) and AUC values of PF 299804 increased with dose in an approximately linear manner, in a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumours. A suggested terminal half-life value of >24 hr was observed/4/. Further analysis revealed an average terminal half- life of ~85 hours. At the recommended phase II dose (45mg/day), the mean steady-state trough concentration approached the predicted human efficacious concentration/1/. Patients received 0.5-60mg daily.
Pharmacodynamics (Cancer):
Clinical studies: in a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumours, daily administration of PF 299804 (0.5-60mg) resulted in the mechanistic inhibition of the EGFR-MAPK signalling pathway, and reduced the Ki67 proliferation marker/1/.
Preclinical studies: in preclinical studies, HCC827 cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of PF 299804 to generate resistant cell lines HCC827 PFRs. The growth of HCC827 PFR cells was inhibited only with the combination of PF 299804 and the MET kinase inhibitor PF 2341066 both in vitro and in vivo, but not by either agent alone, suggesting that resistance was caused by MET amplification/5/.
Therapeutic Trials:
Cancer:
PF 299804 demonstrated clinical and biological activity in a phase I/II study patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer after failure of at least one chemotherapy and erlotinib. A total of 53 patients were enrolled into two study arms: adenocarcinoma (n = 43) and non-adenocarnioma (n = 6), and treated with PF 299804 (45 mg/day). Among the 43 evaluable patients, three patients achieved a partial response and 26 patients achieved stable disease at >=6 weeks, as measured by RECIST. Additionally, seven patients treated with PF 299804 experienced clinical benefit, as defined by partial response plus stable disease >=6 months, including 5 adenocarcinoma and 2 non- adenocarcinoma patients/2/ /3/ /4/ /1/.
