Description:
This early phase I trial investigates the response of the anti-cancer drug, triapine, in
uterine cancers by using markers from tissue samples at the time of removal of the uterus,
ovaries, and fallopian tubes (hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). Triapine may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Adding
triapine to the usual approach of surgery followed by chemotherapy alone or in combination
with radiation therapy may help to slow the growth of uterine cancer.

Purpose
This early phase I trial investigates the response of the anti-cancer drug, triapine, in
uterine cancers by using markers from tissue samples at the time of removal of the uterus,
ovaries, and fallopian tubes (hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy). Triapine may
stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Adding
triapine to the usual approach of surgery followed by chemotherapy alone or in combination
with radiation therapy may help to slow the growth of uterine cancer.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. Determine whether intravenous (IV) triapine 25 mg/m^2 will induce cell cycle arrest as
measured by phospho-histone H3 (pHH3) in uterine serous adenocarcinoma cells removed at the
time of hysterectomy.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine whether a preoperative dose of intravenous triapine 25 mg/m^2 can be safely
given prior to hysterectomy and staging for uterine serous adenocarcinoma.
II. Determine whether changes in cyclin D/E and Ki-67 protein expression are detectable using
immunohistochemistry pre- and post-triapine treatment in uterine serous adenocarcinomas.
III. Evaluate plasma and tissue triapine concentrations.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the feasibility of using single-cell transcriptome analysis to quantify changes
in gene expression following triapine treatment and to evaluate their concordance with
immunohistochemistry (IHC) endpoints of cell cycle arrest.
II. Identify genomic variants of uterine serous adenocarcinoma (including but not limited to
p53) with treatment response to ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors such as triapine using
whole exome sequencing (WES).
OUTLINE:
Patients receive triapine IV over 2 hours on day 1 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
Patients then undergo surgical resection and tissue collection 6-8 hours after the initiation
of the triapine infusion.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 42 days.

tumor tissue and be willing to undergo an endometrial pipelle biopsy prior to
beginning study treatment

computed tomography [CT], ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) at eligibility
screening, to accommodate research specimen collections in addition to clinical
pathology evaluation
- Patients must not have received any prior anticancer treatment for endometrial cancer
- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =<
2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mcL
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
[SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT])

mL/min/1.73 m^2 unless data exists supporting safe use at lower kidney function
values, no lower than 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2

therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral
load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
- Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated

Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Pharmacodynamic response |
Time Frame: | Up to 6-8 hours post-triapine infusion |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Pharmacodynamic response rate will be estimated as the proportion of evaluable patients who achieve pharmacodynamic response defined as a decrease in phospho-histone H3 (pHH3) immunoscore of >= 1 from baseline to post-exposure of intravenous triapine for each patient. The corresponding 95% confidence interval will be provided. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Incidence of adverse events |
Time Frame: | Up to day 42 |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), as listed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5, are defined as any pre-surgical grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity or grade 4 neutropenia, neutropenic fever, or thrombocytopenia within 24 hours of triapine administration. Toxicity will be tabulated by type and grade. |
Measure: | Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis |
Time Frame: | Baseline, 5 minutes before end of triapine infusion, 6-8 hours post-infusion (at time of surgical tissue resection), and 24 hours post-infusion |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | End of infusion plasma concentrations represent maximum concentration (Cmax) and will be compared with historical data. Post-triapine plasma and tissue concentrations will generate plasma to tissue ratios, which represent the tissue partitioning coefficient, a useful PK parameter. |
