Abstract

BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of patients with uveal melanoma develop metastases (MUM) with a poor prognosis and median overall
survival of approximately 1 year.
METHODS: This phase I study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of the oral
protein kinase C inhibitor LXS196 in 68 patients with MUM (NCT02601378). Patients received LXS196 doses ranging from
100–1000 mg once daily (QD; n = 38) and 200–400 mg twice daily (BID; n = 30).
RESULTS: First cycle dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed in 7/38 (18.4%) QD and 2/17 (11.8%) BID patients. Hypotension
was the most common DLT, occurring at doses ≥500 mg/day, and manageable with LXS196 interruption and dose reduction.
Median duration of exposure to LXS196 was 3.71 months (range: 1.81–15.28) for QD and 4.6 months (range: 0.33–58.32) for BID
dosing. Clinical activity was observed in 6/66 (9.1%) evaluable patients achieving response (CR/PR), with a median duration of
response of 10.15 months (range: 2.99–41.95); 45/66 had stable disease (SD) per RECIST v1.1. At 300 mg BID, the recommended
dose for expansion, 2/18 (11.1%) evaluable patients achieved PR and 12/18 (66.7%) had SD.
CONCLUSION: These results suggest manageable toxicity and encouraging clinical activity of single-agent LXS196 in patients
with MUM.
