A Clinical Trial of the P-Glycoprotein Antagonist, XR9576, in Combination With Vinorelbine in Patients With Cancer: Analysis of the Interaction Between XR9576 and Vinorelbine
Intrinsic and acquired drug resistance remain major obstacles in the treatment of cancer.
Accumulating evidence indicates that in some malignancies P-glycoprotein can confer
resistance, and that its reversal can improve therapeutic outcome. Clinical trials
investigating P-glycoprotein antagonists have been hampered by the occurrence of
unpredictable pharmacokinetic interactions, which have required dose reductions of the
chemotherapeutic agents to avert excessive toxicity. XR9576 is a new P-glycoprotein
antagonist that is more potent, has prolonged activity, and is potentially devoid of
significant pharmacokinetic interactions. This phase I study seeks to identify the safety
of XR9576 administration in combination with vinorelbine and determine the extent, if any,
of a pharmacokinetic interaction between these two drugs. Clinical responses will also be
determined.
