Information source: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Liposarcoma; Leiomyosarcoma; Fibrosarcoma; Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma

Intervention: Sunitinib Malate (SU011248) (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Alberto Chiappori, M.D., Principal Investigator, Affiliation: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute

Summary

This is an open label single site Phase II clinical trial to identify a potentially promising therapy dose for Sunitinib malate. The study drug will be taken orally once daily on days 1 through 28 of each 42 day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative/acute toxicity. All patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS): leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) seen at the Moffitt Cancer Center will be screened for eligibility to be enrolled in the study.

Detailed description: This is an open label single site Phase II clinical trial to identify a potentially promising therapy dose for Sunitinib malate, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor. The study drug will be taken orally once daily on days 1 through 28 of each 42 day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative/acute toxicity which in the opinion of the treating physician or the trial Principal Investigator (PI) compromises the ability of the patient to receive treatment or the patient desires to stop treatment. All patients with unresectable or metastatic STS: leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and MFH seen at the Moffitt Cancer Center will be screened for eligibility to be enrolled in the study. An office visit will be required before the beginning of every cycle every 6 weeks to assess toxicity and for physical examination. Complete blood count (CBC) and differential, comprehensive metabolic panel, and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be obtained at every scheduled visit.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

than or equal to 2. 5 x local laboratory upper limit of normal (ULN), or AST and ALT less than or equal to 5 x ULN if liver function abnormalities are due to underlying malignancy

- Total serum bilirubin less than or equal to 1. 5 x ULN

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to1500/microL

- Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/microL

- Hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9. 0 g/dL

- Serum calcium less than or equal to 12. 0 mg/dL

- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1. 5 x ULN

- Histologically-proven liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, or MFH

- Measurable disease radiographically

- Disease that is deemed surgically unresectable and/or metastatic

- Age greater than or equal to 18 years

- Life expectancy greater than 16 weeks

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status less than or equal to 2

- Patients may have had up to 3 prior chemotherapies within 4 weeks of starting the

study treatment. Exclusion Criteria:

- Major surgery or radiation therapy or chemotherapy within 4 weeks of starting the

study treatment.

- NCI CTCAE version 3 grade 3 hemorrhage within 4 weeks of starting the study

treatment.

- History of or known brain metastases, spinal cord compression, or carcinomatous

meningitis, or evidence of symptomatic brain or leptomeningeal disease.

- Any of the following within the 6 months prior to study drug administration:

- myocardial infarction,

- severe/unstable angina,

- coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft,

- symptomatic congestive heart failure,

- cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack, or pulmonary embolism

- Ongoing cardiac dysrhythmias of NCI CTCAE greater than or equal to grade 2

- Prolonged QTc interval on baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) > 500 msec.

- Hypertension that cannot be controlled by medications (>150/100 mm Hg despite optimal

medical therapy)

- Prior tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy

- Pre-existing thyroid abnormality with thyroid function that cannot be maintained in

the normal range with medication

- Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

(AIDS)-related illness or other active infection

- Concurrent treatment on another clinical trial, except supportive care or

non-treatment trials

- Concomitant use of agents known to induce or inhibit CYP3A4

- Concomitant use of agents metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system

- Ongoing treatment with therapeutic doses of Coumadin (low dose Coumadin up to 2 mg by

mouth [PO] daily for thrombo-prophylaxis is allowed)

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding patients

- Other severe acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory

abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results, and in the judgment of the investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
