Abstract

INO-1001 is a PARP-1 inhibitor that interrupts the repair process of N-methylpurines generated by temozolomide. We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of INO-1001 and determined its safety when used with temozolomide at 200 mg/m2/day x 5 days every 4 weeks. We enrolled 12 adult patients, in cohorts of 3-6 patients, into the study. INO-1001 at doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg was given intravenous for 1 hr q 12 hr for 10 doses. INO-1001 had a moderate clearance, volume of distribution and a relatively short terminal half-life. Myelosuppression and elevation of liver transaminases were dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of INO-1001 at 400 mg.
