Abstract
Further optimisation of present standard chemoradiation is needed in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer. Veliparib, an oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor, has been shown to enhance the antitumour activity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in preclinical models. We aimed to establish the maximum tolerated dose and establish the recommended phase 2 dose of veliparib combined with neoadjuvant capecitabine and radiotherapy. This phase 1b, open-label, multicentre, dose-escalation study was done at six hospitals (one in Australia and five in the USA). Patients were eligible if they were aged 18 years or more and were newly diagnosed with stage II to III locally advanced, resectable adenocarcinoma of the rectum with a distal tumour border of less than 12 cm from anal verge. Patients were ineligible if they had received anticancer therapy or surgery (except colostomy or ileostomy) 28 days or less before the first dose of study drug, previous pelvic radiotherapy, or previous treatment with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. Enrolled patients received capecitabine (825 mg/m2 orally twice daily) with radiotherapy (50·4 Gy in 1·8 Gy fractions daily, approximately 5 days consecutively per week for about 5·5 weeks).
