Condition(s) targeted: Neoplasms, Breast

Intervention: Doxorubicin (Drug); Pazopanib (GW786034) (Drug); Epirubicin (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: GlaxoSmithKline

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
GSK Clinical Trials, Study Director, Affiliation: GlaxoSmithKline

Summary

This is an open-label, four-arm, Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the optimal tolerated regimen (OTR) of pazopanib in combination with epirubicin or doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and epirubicin or doxorubicin. Dose escalation schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, the OTR will be defined as the highest dose combination of the agents where no more than one out of six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity. Twelve additional patients in each arm will be studied with the OTR to evaluate toxicity and pharmacokinetics. This will allow an assessment of potential drug-drug interactions. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics Dose Escalation of Pazopanib in Combination With Epirubicin or Doxorubicin for Advanced Solid Tumors

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Optimum tolerated regimen (OTR) for each combination regimen in each arm of the study.OTR determined by evaluation of AEs and change in lab values.OTR defined as highest dosing regimen that results in dose limiting toxicity in no more than 1 of 6 subject

Secondary outcome:

Safety assessments, including routine physical exam findings, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (chemistry and hematology to include coagulation factors), clinical monitoring and/or observation, and adverse event reporting.

Safety and tolerability endpoints will include cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction) monitored by either MUGA or ECHO. A 12-lead ECG will also be monitored.

Pharmacokinetic endpoints will be AUC, Cmax, Tmax, and t1/2 of pazopanib, epirubicin, and doxorubicin, and clearance of epirubicin and doxorubicin if data are sufficient.

Assessment of anti-tumor activity using RECIST criteria will be recorded as complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease.

Levels of circulating cytokine and angiogenic factors (CAF) biomarkers (such as IL 2, IL-10, VEGF, sVEGFR2) in plasma will be determined.

Assessment of circulating BMD angiogenic cells in cancer peripheral blood in patients before and during treatment with oral pazopanib (continuous and intermittent regimens) and epirubicin or doxorubicin.

Gene expression profiling in selected subpopulations of BMD angiogenic cells in peripheral blood of cancer patients before and during treatment with pazopanib (continuous or intermittent regimens) in combination with epirubicin or doxorubicin.

Genetic variants in candidate genes in the host DNA will be evaluated

Eligibility

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

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must provide written informed consent prior to performance of study specific

procedures or assessments, and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow up

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced solid tumor that has

failed standard therapy or for which there is no standard therapy and is indicated for treatment with anthracyclines.

- Age greater than or equal to 18 years.

- Adequate organ system function as defined by the protocol.

- ECOG performance value of 0 or 1.

- Less than or equal to one prior line of chemotherapy for advanced disease. Patients

with metastatic disease to the brain should have definitive therapy for their brain metastases, should be asymptomatic. (Patients with previously treated brain metastases who are asymptomatic, off steroids and anti-seizure medications for greater than 3 months are eligible for the study).

- There must be measurable disease or evaluable disease for subjects to be included in

the cohort expansion phase. Measurable disease is not a criterion for subjects enrolling in the dose escalation phase.

- Has a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to 50% or

greater than or equal to the institution's LLN.

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks of

starting study drug and use acceptable birth control methods as outlined in the protocol.

- Women may participate if they are of non childbearing potential (bilateral tubal

ligation, hysterectomy, post menopausal or bilateral ovariectomy.

- Males with female partners of childbearing potential may participate if they practice

acceptable methods of birth control as outlined in the study protocol.

- Able to swallow and retain oral medications.

- Less than or equal to one prior line of chemotherapy for advanced disease.

- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior use of pazopanib or prior treatment with anthracyclines. Prior therapy with

other angiogenesis inhibitors is permitted.

- Clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities which might interfere with oral

dosing.

- Any unstable or serious concurrent condition (e. g., active infection requiring

systemic therapy).

- QTc > 480 msecs.

- History of any one or more of the following cardiovascular conditions within the past

6 months:

- Cardiac angioplasty or stenting

- Myocardial infarction

- Unstable angina

- Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease

- Class III or IV congestive heart failure

- Any major surgery or trauma within the last 28 days and or presence of non-healing

wound, fracture, or ulcer.

- Any unstable or serious concurrent condition.

- Poorly controlled hypertension [defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of =140mmHg

or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of = 90mmHg].

- History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA), pulmonary embolism or untreated deep

venous thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months. Subjects with a recent DVT who have been treated with therapeutic agents (excluding therapeutic warfarin) for at least 6 weeks are eligible.

- Prior major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug and

/or presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer.

- Hemoptysis within 6 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.

- Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other condition

that could interfere with patient's safety, provision of informed consent, or compliance to study procedures.

- Is unable or unwilling to discontinue prohibited medications for 14 days or five

half-lives of a drug prior to Visit 1 and for the duration of the study.

- Use of an investigational agent, including an investigational anti-cancer agent,

within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug.

- Is now undergoing and/or has undergone within 28 days immediately prior to first dose

of study drug, any cancer therapy (major surgery, investigational agent, tumor embolization, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biological therapy, or hormonal therapy).

- Clinically assessed as having inadequate venous access for PK sampling.

- Lactating and pregnant women should discontinue lactation prior to first use of study

drug and refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for 14 days after final dose.
