About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Open-label, Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Pazopanib in Combination With Gemcitabine and Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin for Advanced Solid Tumors

This is an open-label, two-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 gemcitabine (Arm A) or pazopanib, gemcitabine, and cisplatin (Arm B) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and gemcitabine or pazopanib, gemcitabine and cisplatin. 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. Six to 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.

Study groups in NCT00678977
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm AExperimentalDose Escalation - Patients will be entered into dose cohorts of three patients. Each cohort will be assigned to a dose level for the duration of the study. There will be no intra-patient dose-escalation. The starting dose will be 400 mg daily of pazopanib, and 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine. Intermediate dose levels may also be explored. Intravenous gemcitabine will be given on Day 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and each subsequent cycle. Cohort expansion phase - patients will receive gemcitabine alone, at the OTR dose starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1. Pazopanib will be administered at the OTR beginning on Day 2 Cycle 1 after the last blood sample for gemcitabine analysis is collected, and pazopanib administration will continue for the duration of the study. Patients will return to the clinic on Day 8 of Cycle 1 for simultaneous administration of gemcitabine and pazopanib. On Day 1 of Cycle 2 patients will receive the simultaneous administration of gemcitabine and pazopanib
Receives: Drug: Pazopanib (GW786034); Drug: Gemcitabine
Arm BExperimentalDose Escalation - Patients will be entered into dose cohorts of three patients. Each cohort will be assigned to a dose level for the duration of the study. There will be no intra-patient dose-escalation. The starting dose will be 400 mg daily of pazopanib, 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine and 60 mg/m2 cisplatin. Doses of gemcitabine may range from 600 to 1250 mg/m2. Doses of cisplatin may range from 60 to 80 mg/m2. Intermediate dose levels may also be explored. Pazopanib administered starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1, gemcitabine co-administration on Day 1 and 8, and cisplatin on Day 1 in each 21-day cycle. Cohort expansion - patients will receive gemcitabine and cisplatin alone, at the OTR doses, starting on Day 1 of Cycle 1. Pazopanib will be administered at the OTR dose beginning on Day 2 of Cycle 1, and pazopanib administration will continue for the duration of the study. Patients will return to the clinic on Day 8 of Cycle 1 for simultaneous administration of gemcitabine and pazopanib
Receives: Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Cisplatin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

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

    Measured: Until disease progression

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anti-tumor activity evaluated using RECIST criteria (if subjects have measurable disease). Assessments of disease every 6 to 12 weeks, recorded as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: Until Disease progression

  2. Pharmacokinetic parameters AUC(0-24), Cmax, and tmax of pazopanib, gemcitabine, and ultrafilterable platinum.

    Measured: Dose Expansion - Cycle; Dose-Expansion Cycle 2

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

    Measured: Day 1 of each cycle until disease progression

  4. Genetic variants in select candidate genes in the host DNA will be evaluated

    Measured: Day 1 of first cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pazopanib (GW786034), Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in people with Lung Cancer, Non-Small Cell, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Optimum tolerated regimen (OTR) for each regimen in each arm of the study. OTR determined evaluation of AEs and change in lab values. OTR defined as the highest dosing regimen that results in dose limiting toxicity in no more than 1 of 6 subjects (time frame: Until disease progression). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00678977, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2017.
