Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose, safety profile, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of pegaspargase (PEG-ASP) in combination with gemcitabine in patients with advanced metastatic solid tumors and lymphoma. Methods: We conducted a multicenter, open label, nonrandomized, Phase 1 dose escalation study designed to evaluate up to 10 cohorts of patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors and lymphoma. Seventeen patients were treated with of PEG-ASP in combination with gemcitabine. Results: The study was terminated early because the doses for PEG-ASP suggested for de-escalation were predicted not to provide desired sustained asparaginase concentrations based on the analysis of treated patients.
