About this study

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

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.

What is being measured

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

  1. 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

    Measured: Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. 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.

    Measured: Safety assessment timing is noted on the Time and Events Table. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

  2. 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.

    Measured: Safety assessment timing is noted on the Time and Events Table. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

  3. 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.

    Measured: PK samples will only be collected in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

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

    Measured: Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

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

    Measured: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1, 2, and 3. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

  6. 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.

    Measured: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1 and 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

  7. 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.

    Measured: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1 and 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

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

    Measured: One pharmacogenetic sample will be collected during the study ideally in Cycle 1. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Doxorubicin, Pazopanib (GW786034) and Epirubicin in people with Neoplasms, Breast, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 4 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 14 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 13 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 4 sites in Switzerland, Italy. 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 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 (time frame: Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Nov 2017.
