Abstract Purpose: Aurora kinases are associated with high proliferation, poor prognosis, and therapeutic resistance in several human tumor types. AMG 900 is an investigational, oral, highly potent, selective, pan-aurora kinase inhibitor. We evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of AMG 900 in pts with advanced solid tumors (NCT00858377). Methods: In the dose escalation phase, eligible pts were ? 18 years old, with advanced solid tumors that were refractory to standard treatment, measurable disease per RECIST, ECOG ? 2, and life expectancy &amp;gt; 3 months. In the dose expansion phase, eligible pts had taxane- and platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (OC), taxane-resistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), or castration-resistant and taxane- or cisplatin-etoposide-resistant stage IV prostate cancer (CRPC). AMG 900 was administered 4 days on/10 days off at doses of 1 to 50 mg/day (dose escalation), and at the maximum tolerated dose of 40 mg/day with G-CSF support (dose-expansion). The primary objective was safety. Tumor response was determined per RECIST for all pts and additionally by GCIG CA-125 for pts with OC. Results: Treatment-related AEs were reported by 98 of 105 pts (93.3%). Myelotoxicities were the most common grade ? 3 treatment-related AEs. In the dose escalation (N = 50), 1 pt with OC (30-mg cohort) had a partial response (PR) by RECIST and GCIG. In the dose expansion (N = 55), 3 of 29 pts (10.3%) with OC had a PR by RECIST, and 7 of 29 pts (24.1%) had a PR by GCIG; 72.4% of pts with OC had stable disease (SD), and the disease control rate (PR + SD) was 82.8%. Median (95% CI) duration of response in pts with OC per RECIST was 24.1 (16.1, 34.1) weeks, and median (80% CI) PFS was 31.1 (23.6, 34.1) weeks. See table for additional results. Conclusions: AMG 900 had manageable toxicity with G-CSF support and promising single-agent activity in pts with heavily pretreated taxane- and platinum-resistant OC.
