Introduction Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays a key role in recognizing DNA damage and facilitating its repair; inhibition of PARP delays this repair. Veliparib (ABT-888), an orally available, small molecule PARP inhibitor, has been shown to increase the efficacy of several cytotoxic agents in preclinical xenograft tumor models. In a proof-of-principle Phase 0 clinical trial conducted at the National Cancer Institute, our validated PAR Immunoassay demonstrated decreased PAR levels in patient tumor and PBMC samples following Veliparib treatment. Kinders et al Clin Cancer Res Kummar et al J Clin Oncol Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) also plays a key role in DNA damage repair. Topotecan, a TOP1 inhibitor, is an FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agent. Here we investigate the possible effects of Veliparib + topotecan on the DNA damage markers PAR and phosphorylated histone H2AX (gH2AX).

Veliparib + Topotecan Phase I Clinical Trial Objectives
Establish the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of Veliparib with topotecan in patients with refractory solid tumors and lymphomas. Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of each agent in combination. Determine the effects of the study treatment on the level of PARP inhibition and DNA damage in PBMCs and tumor samples.

Analysis of PAR and gH2AX in Patient Tumor Biopsies
PAR Immunoassay Paired tumor biopsies analyzed from 3 patients before Veliparib (topotecan alone) and after Veliparib + topotecan combination treatment. There is currently insufficient data to determine if there is a correlation between PAR and gH2AX response in tumors following Veliparib + topotecan treatment. Dose Level Dose Level Dose Level -3 gH2AX Immunofluorescence Assay Dose Level Dose Level -3

PAR and gH2AX response in PBMCs at the Veliparib + Topotecan MTD
PAR Immunoassay There is an inverse correlation between PAR and gH2AX response in PBMCs following Veliparib + topotecan combination treatment at dose level -3 (MTD). gH2AX responders are defined as patients with >2-fold increase in %gH2AX nuclear area positive pre-Veliparib treatment. gH2AX Immunofluorescence Assay

Veliparib Potentiates Topotecan-Mediated DNA Damage in PBMCs
PAR inhibition of >50% represents a statistically signifcant pharmacodynamic response to Veliparib (arrow). Increased gH2AX levels are associated with PARP inhibition at Dose Level -3 97.8% average PAR reduction in gH2AX responders* 52.3% average PAR reduction in non-responders PBMC specimens 2 h after ABT Topotecan *
10
Conclusions Increased gH2AX levels in PBMCs were associated with PARP inhibition such that gH2AX responders had almost 2-fold more PAR reduction than non-responders. PARP inhibition by Veliparib potentiates topotecan-mediated DNA damage, as measured in PBMCs. Additional tumor biopsy samples are needed to determine if the same effect can be seen in tumor biopsies. Clinical Trial Summary A total of 24 patients with refractory solid tumors and lymphomas were enrolled in the Veliparib + topotecan combination Phase I clinical trial. Significant myelosuppression was observed, necessitating dose reductions and changes in schedule. All of the observed toxicities were expected from topotecan and were managed without complications. The MTD has been established and stable disease has been documented in several patients.
