Patients and methods: Pemetrexed 500 mg/m(2) with folic acid and vitamin B-12 was given on day 1 every 21 days with enzastaurin 500 mg orally QD starting on day 5 of cycle 1 after a loading dose of 400 mg thrice daily on day 4. To evaluate whether a b.i.d. regimen results in higher enzastaurin exposures, the study was amended. After amendment, in cycle 1, patients received 500 mg enzastaurin QD on days 1-15 without initial loading dose and 250 mg b.i.d. on days 16-30; in subsequent cycles, patients received pemetrexed on day 1 every 21 days with enzastaurin b.i.d.Results: Sixty-eight patients (42 preamendment and 26 postamendment) were assessed. Pemetrexed toxicity and pharmacokinetics did not appear to be altered by enzastaurin. Enzastaurin average steady-state plasma concentration (C-av,C-ss) decreased by similar to 25% in the presence of pemetrexed. Enzastaurin C-av,C-ss were similar to 40% higher in the b.i.d. versus QD regimen. Three patients (4.4%) with thyroid cancer of follicular/papillary type had partial response as defined by RECIST.Conclusions: Pemetrexed plus enzastaurin is well tolerated with preliminary evidence of anticancer activity, particularly in thyroid cancer.
