Docetaxel (DTX), usually administered according to maximum tolerated dosing (MTD), can inhibit endothelial cell (EC) proliferation at low nM concentrations. DTX may exert antiangiogenic effects if dosed so plasma levels are maintained at low nM concentrations over a prolonged time. We evaluated metronomic and MTD-based dosing of DTX with and without vandetanib (VAN), a VEGFR-2 and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor with antiangiogenic and anti-tumor activity, in a head and neck xenograft model. A murine physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model was modified to predict DTX distribution following intraperitoneal administration to design dosing regimens that target pre-specified plasma concentrations, for anti-endothelial effects (metronomic), or exposure, to mimic 30mg/m2 (weekly/MTD) DTX in humans. Animals were treated for 28 days with 1mg/kg/day (DTX1) or 6mg/kg q4d (DTX6) DTX with or without VAN (15 mg/kg/day p.o.) in mice bearing UMSCC2 tumor xenografts. The DTX1 dosing scheme was adjusted to treatment for 10 days followed by 9 days off due to severe GI toxicity. All treatment groups significantly reduced tumor volume, tumor proliferation (Ki-67) and tumor EC proliferation (Ki-67/vonWillebrand factor) compared with control. Addition of VAN to DTX treatment significantly enhanced tumor growth inhibition over single agent therapy. A positive correlation of tumor EC proliferation with tumor growth rates demonstrates VAN and DTX antiangiogenic effects. Due to the morbidity observed with DTX1 treatment it is difficult to clearly ascertain if metronomic schedules will be effective for treatment. DTX with VAN is effective in treating UMSCC2 xenografts at concentrations relevant to exposures in humans.
