Pazopanib in Advanced Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Refractory to Imatinib and Sunitinib

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01524848
Lead Sponsor
Scandinavian Sarcoma Group
Brief Summary

Patients with metastatic or locally advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) who develop resistance against the two hitherto approved drugs for this disease, the tyrosin kinase inhibitors (TKIs) imatinib and sunitinib, have a poor prognosis. Sometimes a further response may be achieved by other drugs, mainly other TKIs, which have been explored in different studies but not yet have been approved for clinical use. Pazopanib is a TKI inhibiting the tyrosin kinases KIT, PDGFRA, and VEGF 1-3, all of which have important roles in the pathogenesis of GIST. Theoretically, it may function in GIST, and it deserves investigational trials. The drug is approved for metastatic renal cancer and is relatively well tolerated. In this trial (SSG XXI), the disease control rate (DCR) = (CR+PR+SD) after 12 weeks of treatment will be assessed as the primary endpoint, and at the same time trough levels will be measured. Secondary endpoints include ORR, PFS, toxicity, and disease control rate in relation to trough level week 12 and in relation to the primary mutation of the tumor (if known). The goal is to include 72 patients in the trial, which is open and single arm.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease control rateWeek 12

The ratio of patients with CR (complete remission) + PR (partial remission) + SD (stable disease) at week 12 after start of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survival (PFS)The patients will be followed for the duration of the trial treatment, an expected average of 6 months

Progression free survival (KM analysis) for all patients administered the study drug

DCR in relation to mutationWeek 12

Disease control rate as described above in relation to the type of mutation of the primary tumor if this is available (not mandatory)

DCR in relation to plasma concentrationWeek 12

Disease control rate as defined above in relation to the trough level (plasma concentration) of the study drug at week 12

ToxicityThe patients will be followed for the duration of the trial treatment + 1 month, an expected average of 7 months

Recording of adverse events including SAE/SAR for all patients administered the study drug

Overall response rateThe patients will be followed for the duration of the trial treatment, an expected average of 6 months

ORR = CR+PR at the time of best response during the study period
