About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Pazopanib in Molecularly Selected Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how participants with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have certain abnormalities in the pazopanib target genes respond to pazopanib treatment.

Read the detailed description

There has been a limited benefit from anti-angiogenesis drugs in patients with NSCLC. Bevacizumab provides a modest survival improvement when added to chemotherapy and VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been associated with minimal efficacy as single agents and increased toxicity when combined with chemotherapy. We postulate that the response rates and survival may be improved with a better selection of patients based on abnormalities of the targets for the drugs. According to the preliminary data from the cancer genome atlas (TCGA), the targets of pazopanib are altered in 28% of patients with adenocarcinoma and 24% of patients with squamous cell lung cancer. Since, despite the molecular selection prior to treatment, only a small percentage of patients will benefit from the treatment, we plan to further investigate those patients with whole exome sequencing in both the pre-treatment samples to identify the predictors for response and at the time of progression, with repeated biopsy, in an attempt to identify the predictors for secondary resistance. By identifying more reliable predictors for response to pazopanib, our study may help to establish its role in the treatment of NSCLC.

Receives: Drug: Pazopanib

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    • Participants should be re-evaluated for response 8 weeks after initiation of pazopanib and then every 8 weeks thereafter. In addition to a baseline scan, confirmatory scans should also be obtained not less than 4 weeks following initial documentation of objective response.
    • Response and progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) [Eur J Ca 45:228-247, 2009].
    • Response rate is the percentage of participants with a complete or partial response
    • Complete response=Disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (<10 mm short axis).
    • Partial response=At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters

    Measured: Until the end of treatment (median length of treatment=85.5 days (full range 25-334 days)

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    • Progression-free survival is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. There is no limit on following for progression-free survival besides death of the participant.
    • Progressive disease=At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions).

    Measured: Until progressive disease or death (median follow-up 174 days, full range 41 days-545 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Outcomes Associated With Specific Mutations

    • Participants are followed until death.
    • All participants will undergo next generation sequencing prior to enrollment into the study.
    • Initial predictors are the mutations in VEGFR or PDGFR, but sequencing will be used to evaluate for other predictors as well.

    Measured: Until time of death (an expected average of 8 months)

  2. Mutational Predictors for Extreme Responders

    -Whole exome and transcriptome sequencing will be performed in 10 participants, including 4 to 6 responders and 4 to 6 non-responders in order to identify the predictors for benefit.

    Measured: Until end of treatment (an expected average of 8 months)

  3. Mechanisms of Secondary Resistance.

    -Participants will also undergo next generation sequencing at the time of progression in an attempt to identify the mechanisms for secondary resistance.

    Measured: Until the time of progressive disease (an expected average of 8 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pazopanib in people with Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Washington University School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.

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 19 inclusion and 23 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jul 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Response Rate (time frame: Until the end of treatment (median length of treatment=85.5 days (full range 25-334 days)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Jul 2020.
