A Study Of Crizotinib Plus VEGF Inhibitor Combinations In Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.

December 19, 2011 updated by: Pfizer

A Phase 1B, Open-Label, Dose Escalation Study To Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics And Pharmacodynamics Of Crizotinib (PF-02341066) Plus VEGF Inhibitor Combinations In Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.

Despite the success of anti-angiogenic therapy in multiple treatment settings, a fraction of patients are refractory to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor treatment while the majority of patients will eventually develop evasive resistance and exhibit disease progression while on therapy. It is proposed that mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) and its ligand hepatocyte growth factor (HGF or scatter factor) contribute significantly to VEGF inhibitor resistance such that combining a c-MET inhibitor with a VEGF inhibitor will provide additional clinical activity compared to VEGF inhibitor alone. This hypothesis will be tested using the cMET/ALK inhibitor, crizotinib, in combination with individual VEGF inhibitors. Three combinations will be prioritized, namely crizotinib plus axitinib, crizotinib plus sunitinib and crizotinib plus bevacizumab, with a fourth combination, crizotinib plus sorafenib to be tested only if crizotinib does not combine with either axitinib and/or sunitinib.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Genders Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Dose Escalation Population: Histological or cytological diagnosis of advanced/metastatic solid tumor that is resistant to standard therapy or for which no standard therapy is available. Lesions may be measurable or non measurable.
  • Expansion Population 1: Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic renal cell cancer with no prior systemic therapy directed at the malignant tumor.
  • Expansion Population 2: Patients with histologically confirmed metastatic renal cell cancer whose prior systemic therapy directed at the malignant tumor was single agent VEGF inhibitor and who now have acquired resistance to this treatment. Resistance is defined as progression following an initial response (complete or partial), or stable disease for at least 6 months on single agent VEGF inhibitor.
  • Expansion Population 3: Patients with histologically confirmed glioblastoma whose disease has failed on previous therapy, and which must have included treatment with external beam radiation and temozolomide chemotherapy, and who now have radiographically recurrent or progressive disease.
  • Expansion Population 4: Patients with histologically confirmed advanced-stage (unresectable or metastatic) hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received previous systemic therapy directed at the malignant tumor will be eligible to receive crizotinib plus sorafenib, should this combination be tested. Eligibility criteria also include normal hepatic function or Child-Pugh hepatic function class A.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with hemorrhagic brain metastases or with known symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks of starting study treatment.
  • Radiation therapy within 2 weeks of starting study treatment.
  • Hypertension that cannot be controlled with medications (>150/90 mmHg despite optimal medical therapy).
  • For glioblastoma patients: Prior treatment of glioblastoma with Gliadel wafers, stereotactic radiation, or brachytherapy unless there is pathological or definitive radiological evidence (PET scan or perfusion MRI) of recurrent tumor or unless there is new enhancement outside of the radiation field. History of Grade 2 or greater acute intracranial hemorrhage. Radiation therapy (RT) for glioblastoma within 3 months unless there is either: a) histopathologic confirmation of recurrent tumor, or b) new enhancement on MRI outside of the RT treatment field.Concomitant treatment with therapeutic doses of anticoagulants (low dose warfarin (Coumadin) up to 2 mg PO daily for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis is allowed).
