- Brief Summary
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with whole brain radiation therapy in treating patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other types of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving cediranib maleate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the safety and tolerability (maximum tolerated dose, or MTD) of AZD2171 when combined with WBRT in patients with brain metastases.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the objective response rate (ORR) in the central nervous system (CNS), neurologic progression-free survival (N-PFS), overall survival, and cause of death, and to explore the vascular normalization window using serial, noninvasive imaging parameters.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive oral cediranib maleate on day 1. Patients undergo whole-brain radiotherapy 5 days a week for 3 weeks beginning on day 3. Treatment continues treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

- Patients must have had no prior therapy for brain metastases with the exception of craniotomy for resection of brain metastases within 8 weeks of study entry
- At least 2 weeks since last prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy (6 weeks if the last regimen included nitrosoureas, mitomycin C or bevacizumab)

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of reference range (ULRR)
- AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) =< 2.5 x ULRR or =< 5 x ULRR for patients with liver metastases

Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 2 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas, mitomycin C or bevacizumab) prior to entering the study or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 2 weeks earlier
- Patients receiving any other investigational agents or who have participated in an investigational therapeutic trial within the past 30 days
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to AZD2171
- Patients taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAED); patients may be on non-enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (NEIAED) or may be on no antiepileptic drugs (AED); patients off EIAED for >= 2 weeks are eligible
- Although the following medications are not contra-indicated on this study, each should be used with extreme caution, due to potential nephrotoxic effects: vancomycin, amphotericin, pentamidine
- Patients who have leptomeningeal disease as the only site of CNS involvement are excluded, because disease progression is difficult to evaluate and standard treatment options and the extent of radiation may differ
- Patients taking oral anticoagulant drugs are excluded; patients may be taking low molecular weight heparin
- Patients with a mean corrected QT interval > 470 milliseconds (with Bezett's correction) or patients with familial prolonged QT syndrome
- Patients with > 1+ proteinuria on two successive urine dipstick assessments taken no less than 7 days apart, unless urinary protein is < 1.5 g in a 24-hour period; if first urinalysis shows no protein, then a repeat urinalysis is NOT required
- Patients with significant hemorrhage (> 30mL bleeding per episode in previous 3 months) or hemoptysis (> 5mL fresh blood in previous 4 weeks)
- Patients who have brain imaging (CT or MRI) evidence of acute intra- or peri- tumoral hemorrhage > grade 1; patients with punctuate hemorrhage or hemosiderin deposition are eligible
- Patients who cannot undergo MRI safely
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, uncontrolled hypertension (> 140 systolic or > 90 diastolic mm Hg), New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Patients with conditions requiring concurrent drugs or biologics with proarrhythmic potential
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with AZD2171
- HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method MTD defined as the dose at which no patients develop treatment-related grade 5 toxicity and less than 30% of patients develop acute dose limiting toxicities (DLT) assessed using NCI CTCAE version 4.0 7 weeks
