BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Mono-L-aspartyl chlorin e6 (NPe6) is a photosensitizer that exhibits chemical purity, absorption at 664 nm wavelength and may be useful in photodynamic therapy (PDT).
This open label phase I clinical trial at the University of California, Davis Medical Center examined the pharmacokinetic properties of Npe6 and clinical response to PDT with this photosensitizer. A single intravenous dose of Npe6 was administered to 14 cancer patients with superficial malignancies (basal cell carcinoma = 22 lesions, squamous cell cancer = 13 lesions, papillary carcinoma = 14 lesions). Patients received one of five ascending doses (0.5 mg/kg (n = 4), 1.0 mg/kg (n = 3), 1.65 mg/kg (n = 3), 2.5 mg/kg (n = 3), or 3.5 mg/kg (n = 1)) 4-8 h prior to light activation. The total light dose (range 25-200 J/cm2) depended on the tumor shape and size. Light was delivered using an argon-pumped tunable dye laser. Serum NPe6 concentrations were measured over a 28-day period. The toxicity and cutaneous clinical efficacy of NPe6 were observed.
Four weeks post-PDT, 20 of 22 basal cell carcinoma tumors (91%) showed a complete response. Eighteen of 27 other malignant cutaneous tumors showed a complete (n = 15/27, 56%) or partial (n = 3/27, 11%) response. Fewer non-responders were seen at an Npe6 dose level of 1.65 mg/kg or higher. Only 2 of 14 patients experienced an adverse event that was definitely related to NPe6 administration. Photosensitivity resolved within 1 week of NPe6 dosing in 12 of 14 patients. Analysis of serum levels of 11 individual patients indicated that a two-compartment model with a residual phase best fits the data. The mean alpha, beta, and terminal half-lives were 8.63+/-2.92, 105.90+/-37.59 and 168.11+/-53.40 h (+/-1 SD), respectively. The observed mean volume of distribution was 5.94+/-2.55 l, and the mean clearance was 0.0394+/-0.0132 l/h. These values were independent of the dose administered.
The photosensitizer, NPe6, was well tolerated with minimal phototoxic side effects, and demonstrated preliminary efficacy against cutaneous malignancies.
背景/目的:单-L-天冬酰胺基二氢卟吩e6(NPe6)是一种具有化学纯度、在664nm波长处有吸收且可能用于光动力疗法(PDT)的光敏剂。
在加利福尼亚大学戴维斯医学中心进行的这项开放标签I期临床试验,研究了Npe6的药代动力学特性以及该光敏剂光动力疗法的临床反应。14例患有浅表恶性肿瘤的癌症患者(基底细胞癌=22个病灶,鳞状细胞癌=13个病灶,乳头状癌=14个病灶)接受了单次静脉注射Npe6。患者在光激活前4 - 8小时接受五个递增剂量之一(0.5mg/kg(n = 4)、1.0mg/kg(n = 3)、1.65mg/kg(n = 3)、2.5mg/kg(n = 3)或3.5mg/kg(n = 1))。总光剂量(范围25 - 200J/cm²)取决于肿瘤的形状和大小。使用氩泵浦可调谐染料激光进行光照。在28天内测量血清NPe6浓度。观察NPe6的毒性和皮肤临床疗效。
光动力疗法后四周,22个基底细胞癌肿瘤中的20个(91%)显示完全缓解。27个其他恶性皮肤肿瘤中的18个显示完全缓解(n = 15/27,56%)或部分缓解(n = 3/27,11%)。在Npe6剂量水平为1.65mg/kg或更高时,未缓解者较少。14例患者中只有2例经历了肯定与NPe6给药相关的不良事件。14例患者中有12例在NPe6给药后1周内光敏反应消退。对11例个体患者血清水平的分析表明,具有残留相的二室模型最符合数据。平均α、β和终末半衰期分别为8.63±2.92、105.90±37.59和168.11±53.40小时(±1标准差)。观察到的平均分布容积为5.94±2.55升,平均清除率为0.0394±0.0132升/小时。这些值与给药剂量无关。
光敏剂NPe6耐受性良好,光毒性副作用最小,并显示出对皮肤恶性肿瘤的初步疗效。
