Patients and Methods Patients were randomly assigned to receive IM at 400 mg versus 600 mg daily. IM plasma levels were analyzed in a subset of patients (n ϭ 73) for whom PK data on day 1 and at steady-state (SS, day 29) were available. IM PK was evaluated using a population PK approach. The relationship between IM plasma exposure and clinical outcome was explored by grouping patients into quartiles according to IM trough concentration (Cmin). The clinical outcome parameters evaluated include overall objective benefit rate (OOBR; complete response plus partial response plus stable disease) time to progression (TTP), and KIT genotyping. Results IM PK exposure showed a high inter-patient variability, and clinical outcomes were correlated with IM trough levels at SS. The median TTP was 11.3 months for patients in the lowest Cmin quartile (Q1, Ͻ 1,110 ng/mL) compared with more than 30 months for Q2 to Q4 (P ϭ .0029). OOBR was also inferior in Q1 patients. In patients with GIST with KIT exon 11 mutations (n ϭ 39), the OOBR was 67% for Q1 patients versus 100% for all others (P ϭ .001). Conclusion In patients with advanced GIST, IM trough levels at SS were associated with clinical benefit. Patients with IM Cmin below 1,100 ng/mL showed a shorter TTP and lower rate of clinical benefit (OOBR). Further studies are justified to test whether monitoring IM plasma levels might optimize clinical outcomes for patients with GIST.

has similar biologic activity to ima- tinib and represents approximately 20% to 25% of the parent drug levelatsteady-state(SS)inpatientswithGIST.16 Asaresultofintrinsic variability of CYP enzyme activity,17,18 high inter-patient variability was reported for imatinib exposure in patients with chronic myelog- enous leukemia (CML) and GIST. In patients with CML, cytogenetic and molecular responses are highly correlated with imatinib trough plasma exposure.19,20 The relationship between imatinib exposure and clinical benefit rates in patients with GIST has not previously been reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study (B2222) on which this PK substudy is based was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase II clinical trial evaluating imatinib in patients with unresectable or metastatic CD117-positive GIST. All patients gave writ- ten informed consent to participate in the clinical trial and the PK substudy. B2222 study design, inclusion criteria, and exclusion criteria have been described.6,13 Briefly, 147 patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive imatinib 400 mg or 600 mg/d. Dose escalation was allowed if there was disease progression from 400 mg once daily to 600 mg once daily or from 600 mg once daily to 400 mg twice a day. The estimated proportion of patients surviving 60 months is 54%, regardless of initial dose level. PK blood samples were collected from the first half of the patients enrolled onto the study (73 of 147 patients): samples for PK analysis were collected on days 1 and 29 (SS), at predose, and at 1 to 3 hours, 6 to 9 hours, and approximately 24 hours (before the morning dose on the next day). PK blood samples (8 mL each) were collected into heparinized polypro- pylene tubes, centrifuged at 1,000 ϫ g for 10 minutes for plasma separation, andkeptbelowϪ20°Cuntilanalysis.PlasmaimatinibandCGP74588concen- trations were determined using a validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay.21 The lower limit of quantification was 4 ng/mL for both imatinib and CGP74588. Data Analysis PK data analysis. The PK of imatinib in humans has been studied using a population-PK (pop-PK) approach.16,22-24 Here, a similar approach was used in patients with advanced GIST; the calculated PK parameters from the pop-PK model for imatinib were used for correlation analysis with B2222 long-term follow-up data on clinical outcomes. PK data for CGP74588 were not included in the PK modeling and the correlation analysis because (1) its level was highly correlated with imatinib exposure, and (2) it repre- sented a relatively small fraction of the parent drug level. A one-compartment linear disposition model with zero order absorption was used for the analysis as reported.23 The clinical and demographic covariates considered in pop-PK analysis were age, sex, body weight, serum creatinine, creatinine clearance, WBC count,AST,ALT,albumin,totalbilirubin,andhemoglobin,aswellaspresence of liver metastases, edema, and disease progression. Except edema and liver metastasis, covariate values were taken on the day of PK assessment or just before in both occasions day 1 and day 29. Covariates were incorporated into the model as in the analysis of PK data in patients with CML.23 Additional information on the population PK model is described (Appendix, on- line only). The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC), peak concentration (Cmax), trough concentration (Cmin), and effective half-life (t1/2 ϭ 0.693 ⅐ V/clearance[CL]) after the first dose and at SS were derived for eachpatientoneachPKassessmentday,usingpatient’sactualdosingregimen, individual conditional estimates of oral drug clearance (CL/F) and oral drug volume of distribution (V/F), and population duration of absorption. These individual PK parameters at SS were used for correlation analysis with the clinical response data. Response data and PK/pharmacodynamic data analysis. The pharmaco- dynamic (PD) parameter was the primary efficacy parameter, best overall tumor response, based on Southwest Oncology Group criteria, over a 5-year follow-upperiodasdescribed.13 Tumormeasurementswereobtainedatbase- line, 1 and 3 months, and every 3 to 6 months. A responder was defined as any patientwhosebestconfirmedresponsewascompleteresponse(CR,definedas disappearanceofallmeasurableandnonmeasurablebutassessablediseaseand no new lesions), partial response (PR, defined as Ն 50% decrease below baseline in sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions), or stable disease (SD) as defined.6 Secondary efficacy parameters included time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS). TTP was de- fined as the earliest occurrence of progression, death from any cause, or discontinuation from the trial for any reason other than “condition no longer requires treatment.” The PK parameters from both 400 mg and 600 mg doses were pooled for the PK/response correlation analysis. The correlations among imatinib PK parameters, AUC, Cmax, and Cmin, were examined by simple linear regression; Cmin was selected for correlation analysis with response data. To assess the impact of Cmin values on response, Cmin was arbitrarily grouped into four quartiles. The lower quartile (Q1) included the 25% of patients with the lowest imatinib plasma exposure; Q2 and Q3 extended 25% below and above the median concentration, respec- tively; Q4 included the 25% of patients with the highest imatinib plasma exposure. The central 50% of the data were combined for all analyses and are referred to as Q2-Q3. These three PK categories (Q1, Q2-Q3, and Q4) were used for stratification as appropriate. The TTP was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and strata were compared using the log-rank test. The TTP was censored for patients who did not experience disease progression at thelastavailabletumorassessment.Correlationofclinicalbenefitandimatinib Cmin levelswasalsoexaminedforsubsetsofpatientswithspecificmutationsin KIT exon 11 or exon 9. RESULTS Demographics and Imatinib PK In 73 patients with assessable imatinib PK data (41 men, 32 women), most were white (n ϭ 69; 94.5%), with median age of 51 years(range,25to79years)andmedianbodyweightof75.5kg(range, 44.7 to 139.7 kg). In general, the pop-PK model predicted reasonably well the concentration observations, despite a relatively large residual error. There is no obvious trend or bias in weighted residuals (Appen- dix Fig A1, online only). The final population model parameters at SS are shown (Appendix Table A1, online only). The typical values for apparent clearance (TVCL) and volume of distribution (TVV) are predicted by the following equations: TVCL ϭ 8.18 ⅐ (albumin/38.3)1.66 ⅐ (WBC/[7 ⅐ 109 ])Ϫ0.418 ([L/h]) (1) TVV ϭ (168 ϩ 58.5 on day 28) ⅐ (albumin/38)1.66 ⅐ (WBC/[7 ⅐ 109 ])Ϫ0.418 [L] (2) Imatinib was absorbed quickly (mean duration of absorption, 1.69 hours).Amongclinical,laboratory,anddemographicvariablesexam- ined, only albumin and WBC count were significant covariates for imatinib CL and volume of distribution (Fig 1). The PK parameters determinedbythepopulationmodelandthealbuminandWBClevels measured on days 1 and 29 are shown (Table 1). The imatinib PK parameters at SS, AUC, Cmax, and Cmin values were highly correlated to each other, with correlation coefficients of 0.896, 0.994, and 0.961 between AUC and Cmin, Cmax and Cmin, and AUC and Cmax, respec- tively (Pearson correlation test).

Exposure With Demographics, Sex, and Body Weight Although sex was not identified as a significant covariate for imatinibCLwithinthetotalPKpatientpopulation,theaveragetrough level in women (1,770 ng/mL; n ϭ 32) appeared to be approximately 25% higher than in men (1,420 ng/mL; n ϭ 41), consistent with body weight differences between men and women, 83.8 Ϯ 17.2 kg (n ϭ 41) and 69.6 Ϯ 15.2 kg (n ϭ 32), respectively. Of 41 male patients, 14 (34%) were distributed in the Q1 group, compared with four (12.5%) of32femalepatientsintheQ1group.Theoverallclinicalresponserate (CR,PR,orSD)was26(81%)of32femalepatientsand31(76%)of41 male patients (P ϭ .56; 2 test). Correlation of Imatinib Exposure With Clinical Responses and Progression The SS Cmin parameter was selected for correlation analysis with response data (Fig 2). Of 73 patients with assessable Cmin data, 57 (78%) achieved CR, PR, or SD. The median Cmin value for responders (CR, PR, or SD) was higher than that of nonresponders (disease progression or not assessable): 1,446 ng/mL (range, 414 to 3,336 ng/mL; 25th and 75th percentiles, 1,204 and 2,062 ng/mL; n ϭ 57) and 1,155 ng/mL (range, 545 to 4,182 ng/mL; 25th and 75th percentiles, 1,041 and 1,562 ng/mL; n ϭ 16), respectively. No statistically significant difference was achieved (P ϭ .25, Wilcoxon test). Of the 57 patients who achieved a CR, PR, or SD, 12 (67%) of 18 patients were in Q1, 29 (81%) of 36 patients were in Q2-Q3, and 16 (84%) of 19 patients were in Q4, or 82% overall in Q2-Q4 (P ϭ .177 between Q1 and upper quartiles Q2-Q4, 2 test; Table 2). If the best objective response was defined as CR and PR (without SD), the response rate would be 63% (n ϭ 46), with eight (44.4%) of 18 patients in Q1, 24 (66.7%) of 36 patients in Q2-Q3, and 14 (73.3%) of 19 patients in Q4 (P ϭ .0601 between Q1 and upper quartiles Q2-Q4, 2 test). Most CR and PR responders were ob- served at 3 months after treatment. Patients in Q1 group showed a faster TTP (median 11.3 months) thanupperquartiles:30.6monthsforQ2-Q3,and33.1monthsforQ4 (overall P ϭ .0105, and P ϭ .0029 between Q1 and Q2-Q4; hazard ratio ϭ 0.418 with 95% CI, 0.231 to 0.756; Fig 3).

seemed to have
improved outcomes at imatinib levels greater than 1,100 ng/mL, the lower cut point for Q2-Q4 group combined. For the 12 patients with KIT exon 9 mutations, the OOBR was two of three patients in Q1, five of eight patients in Q2-Q3, and one patient in Q4 with SD. The imatinib median (mean Ϯ standard deviation) Cmin in patients with KIT exon 9 mutations was 1,270 ng/mL (1340 Ϯ 420 ng/mL, n ϭ 12), which was only slightly lower than that in patients with KIT exon 11 mutations, 1,540 ng/mL (1630 Ϯ 660 ng/mL, n ϭ 39; P ϭ .15 by Wilcoxon test). The plasma clearance of imatinib (defined as dose/AUC) was 10.8 Ϯ 3.9L/h in the patients with exon 9 mutations and 9.2 Ϯ 4.5L/h in the patients with exon 11 mutations (P ϭ .11 by Wilcoxon test). Further studies are needed to confirm these PK findings and to assess the PK/outcome relationships for patients with exon 11 and exon 9 mutations. Correlation of Imatinib Trough Levels With Patient Disposition Of the 73 total patients, 21 patients (28.8%) remain on study and 52 patients (71.2%) discontinued. Disease progression (“unsatisfac- tory therapeutic effect”) was the most frequently cited reason for discontinuation(nϭ35,47.9%);nodifferencewasobservedbetween different imatinib Cmin groups with the limited PK data available. Other reasons for withdrawal included adverse events (5.5%), abnor- mal laboratory values (2.7%), consent withdrawal (8.2%), death (4.1%), or protocol violation (1.4%). Dose escalation of imatinib was allowed after disease progression. Seven patients’ imatinib dose in- creasedfrom600mgto800mgdailyafteramedianof846days(range, 689 to 1,338 days); 21 patients had dose increased from 400 to 600 mg after a median of 363 days (range, 29 to 1,512 days), with four of these 21 patients undergoing further dose increases to 800 mg daily at a median of 790 days (range, 735 to 965 days). By PK quartiles, the frequency of dose escalation was nine (50%) of 18 in Q1, 15 (41.7) of 36 in Q2-Q3, and four (21%) of 19 in Q4 (P ϭ .165, 2 test). Detailed information on dose escalation and corresponding clinical outcomes for subsets of patients with different KIT mutations is available (Ap- pendix Table A2, online only). DISCUSSION Thepop-PKofimatinibinpatientswithGISThasbeendescribed,16,22 but the relationship between imatinib PK, drug exposure, and clinical outcomes has not been reported. In our study of patients with ad- vanced GIST, imatinib trough plasma levels seemed to be correlated with clinical benefits, including TTP and objective response. Reported pop-PK analyses suggest that plasma ␣-1 acid gly- coprotein (AGP), WBC, granulocyte, albumin, hemoglobin, or patient demographics could be identified as significant covariates for CL/F and V/F, depending on patient population, sample size, and availability of these parameters for analysis.16,22-24 Some of these parameters are correlated with each other.22,25-27 Thus as a result of improvement of disease conditions after imatinib treat- ment, plasma AGP, albumin, and WBC count may change with time (normalization), which in return could affect the CL/F and exposure of imatinib as observed in our study. From day 1 to 29, the albumin level remained similar, whereas WBC counts de- creased significantly, by approximately 28.0% and 31.5%, for the 400 mg and 600 mg doses, respectively (Table 1). Concurrently, the CL/F increased slightly by 10.4% and 17.7%, whereas V/F in- creased significantly by 53.8% and 60.5% from day 1 to 29 for the 400 mg and 600 mg doses, respectively. A more pronounced in- crease in V/F might be a reflection of normalization of plasma AGP levels,16 in addition to WBC and albumin levels. As a result of a Table 2.

more significant increase
in V/F than CL/F, imatinib half-life was prolonged from 14 hours on day 1 to 19 hours at SS. Preliminary, long-term (from Ͼ 6 months to 2.5 years) sparse PK data from 30 patients showed that imatinib plasma CL (estimated using the same population PK model) and biologic parameters such as WBC and albumin levels remained stable over time (data not shown). Imbalanced albumin levels and WBC counts between different dose groups could impact the apparent dose-exposure relationship. Patients in the 400-mg dose group seemed to have a slightly lower albumin level and higher WBC count than those in the 600-mg dose group.ThisresultedinanartificiallyhigherthanexpectedAUCforthe 400-mg dose or lower than expected AUC for the 600-mg dose. The average body weight of patients in the two dose groups was similar, with 79.6 Ϯ 19.3 kg and 75.7 Ϯ 16.1 kg for 400 mg/d and 600 mg/d, respectively (P ϭ .33, Wilcoxon test). In patients with CML,15 a linear dose-exposure relationship was observed at doses up to 1,000 mg daily. The imatinib CL, 8 to 10 L/h (Table 1), was similar to the CL (8 to 10 L/h) reported for patients with GIST,16,22 which, on average, was somewhat lower than that in patients with CML (10 to 14 L/h).14,15,23,24 A large inter-patient variability in imatinib plasma ex- posure was observed in patients with GIST and CML, underlining a potential impact of imatinib variability on clinical outcomes for both patient populations. Certain KIT or PDGFRA mutations are predictive factors for clinical response to imatinib.11-13 Normal albumin level, neutrophil level, and female sex were also shown as significant covariates for clinical outcomes,13 perhaps through their correlation with imatinib exposure. The response in women seemed to be slightly better than that of men. Here, we found that patients with a low plasma exposure (Cmin less than 1,100 ng/mL) showed a trend of low rate of objective response and rapid evolution of resistance (short TTP). These results suggest that a minimal plasma threshold may be necessary to achieve and maintain clinical response. This hypothesis is best supported in patientswithKITexon11mutations,whoexhibitedimprovedclinical outcomes with imatinib trough levels more than 1,110 ng/mL. Too few patients with KIT exon 9 mutation were available to draw any conclusions. Although in vitro data suggest that imatinib is equally effective against KIT exon 9 and exon 11 mutants,11,12 cumulative clinicaldatasuggestpooreroutcomesforpatientswithKITmutations in exon 9 versus exon 11, and data from large randomized trials have supported the hypothesis that a higher starting dose of imatinib (800 mg/d) improves TTP for patients with exon 9 mutation as compared with the lower conventional dose (400 mg/d).7,11-13 Additional data are needed to confirm whether there are any PK differences between subsets of patients with different KIT mutations and to define the minimum effective plasma concentration of imatinib (with and with- out considering the contribution of CGP74588) for different KIT mutation subpopulations. The large inter-patient variability in imatinib plasma exposure seemed to be correlated with patients’ albumin level and concurrent WBC count. Imatinib plasma CL increased minimally with time, by 10% to 17%, after 1 month of treatment, which was probably a reflection of an improvement of patients’ disease conditions with concurrentnormalizationofWBCcount.Becauseimatinibhasahigh binding affinity to plasma AGP proteins, a concurrent normalization of AGP level over time could also result in a decrease in imatinib total plasma exposure. This hypothesis, however, has not been confirmed, because the AGP level was not determined in the present study. Pa- tients with lower imatinib trough plasma levels (Ͻ 1,100 ng/mL) showed a trend of lower rate of clinical response and faster TTP. The medianimatinibtroughlevelforrespondersseemedtobehigherthan that of nonresponders. Further studies are warranted to define the effective Cmin levels of imatinib for patients with different KIT muta- tions. Monitoring imatinib plasma trough level may be advisable in patients with suspected drug-drug interaction, unusual side effects, lackofexpectedclinicalbenefit,orcomplianceconcerns.Thisprelim- inary analysis suggests that a low SS plasma level of imatinib (ie, Ͻ 1,100 ng/mL) might contribute to drug failure in patients with advanced GIST.
