Sorafenib in Treating Patients With Angiosarcoma That is Locally Advanced, Metastatic, or Unable to Be Removed by Surgery

December 23, 2009 updated by: Centre Oscar Lambret

Phase II Multicenter Stratified Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Toxicity of Sorafenib in Treating Locally Advanced or Metastatic Angiosarcomas That Are Not Accessible to Curative Surgery

RATIONALE: Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with angiosarcoma that is locally advanced, metastatic, or unable to be removed by surgery.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the rate of non-progression at 9 months in patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic angiosarcoma treated with sorafenib tosylate.

Secondary

  • Determine the rate of non-progression at 60, 120, and 180 days.
  • Determine the median time to progression.
  • Determine overall survival.
  • Determine the best response rate.
  • Determine the clinical and biological factors that predict clinical benefit.
  • Evaluate tolerability by NCI CTCAE v3.0.
  • Correlate efficacy with plasma expression of genes implicated in controlling angiogenesis.
  • Explore the tumor expression of these genes in tissue from a tumor bank.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients are stratified according to disease type (cutaneous angiosarcoma [scalp, breast, or soft tissue] vs visceral angiosarcoma). All patients receive oral sorafenib tosylate twice daily for 9 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
