Combined Modality Treatment of Sarcomas of the Extremities (PASART-1)

Phase I Clinical Study of a Combined Modality Treatment of Sarcomas of the Extremities With Radiotherapy (RT) and Dose-escalation of Pazopanib

In this study, we aim to define the recommended dose of a VEGFR-TKI (pazopanib) in combination with RT pre-operatively given.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Sarcoma,Soft Tissue
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: pazopanib

Detailed Description

Study design A dose escalation trial of Pazopanib, starting at 400mg daily, orally in combination with the standard 25 x 2Gy preoperative radiotherapy in newly diagnosed extremity sarcoma patients. Dose of pazopanib will be escalated via 600mg to maximally 800mg. Overall treatment time of pazopanib is 40 days.

Treatment plan: Pazopanib Dose level Dose of pazopanib orally, once daily, # patients

1. (starting) 400 mg 3
2. 600 mg 3
3. (maximum) 800 mg 3

Treatment plan: radiotherapy RT is given during 5 weeks with a once daily fraction of 2 Gray (50 Gray in 25 daily fractions)

RT planning: The dose planning should be performed by CT based Intensity Modulated RT (IMRT) or 3 Dimensional Conformal RT (3D-RT) according to the local planning protocol of the participating institute.

Dose specification: According to the ICRU 50/62.

5. Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations.

6 Able to swallow and retain oral medication. 7. A life expectancy of at least 12 weeks. 8. Adequate organ function.

   • Active peptic ulcer disease.
   • Known intraluminal metastatic lesions with suspected bleeding.
   • Inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal conditions with increased risk of perforation.
   • History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra abdominal abscess within 28 days prior to beginning study treatment.
   • Major resection of the stomach or small bowel.
5. Uncontrolled hypertension.
6. Unstable or serious concurrent condition (e.g., active infection requiring systemic therapy).
7. Prolongation of corrected QT interval (QTc) >480 msecs.

8. History of any one of more of the following cardiovascular conditions within the past 6 months:

   2. Myocardial infarction.
   3. Unstable angina.
   4. Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease.
   5. Coronary artery by-pass graft surgery.
   6. Class II, III or IV congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA).
   7. History of cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism or untreated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months.
9. Macroscopic hematuria
10. Haemoptysis that is clinically relevant within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
11. Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis.
12. Prior major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug and/or presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer.
13. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
14. Biological therapy or treatment with an investigational agent within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer prior to the first dose of study drug.
15. Prohibited medications listed in the protocol for 14 days or five half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to Visit 1 and for the duration of the study should not be taken.
16. Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to pazopanib.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Dose limiting toxicity	To study the safety and feasibility of adding 6 weeks of orally administered Pazopanib to 25 x 2Gy in 5 weeks preoperative radiotherapy in extremity or head and neck area soft tissue sarcoma patients (to identify the Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) and the Recommend Phase II Dose (RPTD) if pazopanib is added to 50 Gy pre-operatively)	14 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
the exploration/feasibility of dynamic imaging	The secondary objective is to explore the feasibility to perform perfusion weighted MRI imaging regarding tumor respons to RT and neoangio genesis inhibitor by pazopanib.	14 weeks
