Infants and Young Children with Brain
Tumors

Pharmaceutical Sciences Department
Dr. Stewart Lab
Treatment of Primary CNS Tumors
in Infants and Children
• Surgery
– Limited by tumor location
• Radiation
– Neurocognitive and endocrine problems
• Chemotherapy
– Some active cytotoxic agents
– Need for optimization of therapy
SJYC07 Protocol
SJYC07 Maintenance Phase
• Topotecan: 10 days
• Cyclophosphamide: 21 days
• 1 week rest period
A
B
Topotecan
• Camptothecin
analog
• Stabilization of
topoisomerase I
– Lactone E ring
– Reversible pH
hydrolysis
• S-phase cytotoxicity
– Oral dosing: protracted
schedule
Topotecan Pharmacokinetics
• Absorption: 30-40% oral bioavailability
– 27% oral bioavailability
• Distribution (oral): V1/F 40.6 L
– V1/F 33.8 L/m2 Vd
• Metabolism: <10% hepatic to metabolism
to N-desmethyl topotecan
• Elimination: 20% oral and 49% IV urinary
excretion
– 67.5% ± 25.2% IV urinary excretion

Topotecan in Pediatrics
• High interpatient variability
– Ka (53%)
• BSA is a significant covariate on Cl and Vd
– IV topotecan
• Some evidence suggests that topotecan
Cl may be lower in infants
Daw, J of Clinical Oncology, 2004
Schaiquevich, Clin Cancer Res, 2007

Discussion and Conclusions
• No significant effect of age on Ka
– One sample to characterize Ka
– BLQ data
• eGFR was not a significant covariate
– All patients had normal renal function
• BSA was significant on Cl/F
– Both height and weight were significant on
Cl/F
– Age on Cl/F
Future Directions
• Characterize bioavailability
– IV topotecan lactone data
• Not-so-future directions
– Genetic effects intestinal absorption
• ABCG2 (BCRP)
• ABCB1(PGP)

Editor's Notes

  1. -Medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (ATRT), high grade glioma, choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), ependymoma - CSI can lead to cognitive and endocrine problems - Want to delay CSI in children less than 3 do chemotherapy and focal radiotherapy (focal RT)
  2. Optional maintenance phase Pts also getting oral cyclo along with oral topo Maintenance cycle A, days 1-10 (cyclo is also given during this time on days 1-21) rest from days 22-28 next cycle (B) is erlotinib or etoposide (days 1-28) Repeats 3 times (3 A cycles, 3 B cycles, each 28 days long) Cyclophosphamide is also highly active against medulloblastoma and other embryonal tumors,14,93 and the combination of cyclophosphamide and topotecan has been effective in the treatment of metastatic Ewing’s sarcoma and other pediatric solid tumors.94,95
  3. Camtothe-SIN extensive antitumor activity in preclinical studies, including xenograft models of pediatric CNS tumors such as medulloblastoma.87-89 Used for ovarian cancer and small cell lung cancer Activity is dependent on proportion of cells actively dividing- S phase Oral dosing mimics the protracted schedule that is optimal for cytotoxicity (should be prolonged and repeated and not a continuous infusion)
  4. Vds- which compartment Vd=0.58* body weight (kg)- Leger, British J of Cancer, 2004 Verify which adult studies were oral and if they need /m2 Main bullet= adult Second bullet= pediatrics Phase I and II study of topo (Najat C. Daw)
  5. Effect of age on ka (younger children have less oral absorption) Maturation: (infants have higher gastric pH), longer gastric emptying time, different drug metabolizing enzymes, changes in biliary function based on age
  6. every effort should be made to obtain samples within 15 minutes before or after the schedule time point. The PK nurse administering the drug should estimate the proportion of the drug swallowed. If <75% of the dose was swallowed, PK testing should be rescheduled for another day during week 1 of cycle A1. - Dose was given between 8 am-12:30 pm 2 mL of blood
  7. 69 patients total (1 data point was eliminated because PWRES > 6) 206 samples Schwartz equation- why that one was chosen (used in the clinic; shown to be better for kidney dysfunction) eGFR from SCr (Schwartz equation) 𝑒𝐺𝐹𝑅= 0.413 ∗ height (cm) SCr (mg/dl)
  8. - Measuring totals were also BLQ
  9. BSA on Cl was significant- equal significance as weight and height Continuous covariates (BSA) was power model centered on population median Categorical (sex) was exponential model Inter-individual variability model- exponential Residual undefined variability- proportional
  10. CL/Fi : individual apparent clearance CL/Fpop: estimated population apparent clearance BSAi : individual body surface area BSApop: median population body surface area Θ: estimated exponent for the effect of body surface area on topotecan lactone clearance Omega between subject variability Sigma residual subject variability One compartment model adequately characterizes oral topotecan disposition
  11. Observed vs predicted Observed topo lactone on y axis; population/individual predicted on x axis Still some underprediction in model (population predicted) Individual predicted- not as much of an underprediction Red line: spline Line of identity: ideal
  12. Population weighted residual & individual weighted residual (y axes) Time and predicted topotecan lactone (x axes) Majority of data between +2 and -2 (within the acceptable predicted range) Equal distribution both above and below the reference line Time and predicted lactone concentrations are plotted- no bias (either in the time points or the concentrations)- no significant bias based over time or range of predicted lactone concentrations Reference line Residuals= how far away the point is from the line of ID (want it to be within 2 fold of a difference- negative means model is overpredicting, positive means model is underpredicting)
  13. Normalized Prediction Distribution Errors Simulations- 500 +2 and -2 Equal distribution No bias Mean=0; variance=1 (variance shouldn’t be lower than 0.8- model is underpredicting variance)
  14. Ka: ideally, more samples after first dose, but this isn’t really practical in this population BSA on Cl: since that’s what the dose is based off of, we used BSA eGFR: all pts had normal renal function, not all pts had a SCr measurement Average SCr was used to calculated GFR (for pts that didn’t have SCr measurements Age on Cl: was significant initially during forward addition; potential maturation effect or size effect; but BSA on Cl ended up being most significant, so age is a surrogate for size
  15. Bioavailability: pts that consented to maintenance PK studies- use their IV topo Genetic ABCB1= PGP- substrate for PGP (PGP inhibitors affect oral bioavailability)- no effect ABCG2= BCRP- found a SNP that was correlated with increased ka increased Cmax
