    Abstract:
    Palifosfamide, the DNA-alkylating metabolite of ifosfamide (IFOS), has been synthesized as a stabilized tris or lysine salt and found to have preclinical and clinical antitumor activity. Stabilized palifosfamide overcomes limitations of IFOS because of patient-to-patient variability in response resulting from variable prodrug activation, resistance and toxicities of metabolic byproducts, acrolein and chloroacetaldehyde. Palifosfamide represents an effective alternative to IFOS and other DNA-alkylating prodrugs. The antitumor activities of stabilized palifosfamide were investigated in vivo. Dose response, route and schedule of administration, and interaction with docetaxel or doxorubicin were investigated in NCr-nu/nu mice bearing established orthotopic mammary MX-1 tumor xenografts. Oral activity was investigated in P388-1 leukemia in CD2F1 mice. Oral and intraperitoneal bioavailabilities were compared in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stabilized palifosfamide administered by optimized regimens suppressed MX-1 tumor growth (P<0.05) by greater than 80% with 17% complete antitumor responses and up to three-fold increase in time to three tumor doublings over controls. Median survival in the P388-1 (P<0.001) model was increased by 9 days over controls. Oral bioavailability in rats was 48-73% of parenteral administration, and antitumor activity in mice was equivalent by both routes. Treatment with palifosfamide-tris combined with docetaxel or doxorubicin at optimal regimens resulted in complete tumor regression in 62-75% of mice. These studies support investigation of stabilized palifosfamide in human cancers by parenteral or oral administration as a single agent and in combination with other approved drugs. The potential for clinical translation of the cooperative interaction of palifosfamide-tris with doxorubicin by intravenous administration is supported by results from a recent randomized Phase-II study in unresectable or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma.
