Combination of Bevacizumab, Pertuzumab, and Sandostatin for Adv. Neuroendocrine Cancers

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
• Interventions: Drug: Bevacizumab; Drug: Pertuzumab; Drug: Sandostatin LAR® Depot

• Registration Number: NCT01121939
• Lead Sponsor: SCRI Development Innovations, LLC

Brief Summary

The purpose of this Phase II trial will be to define the activity of a VEGF inhibitor

bevacizumab, HER1/HER2 inhibitor pertuzumab, and sandostatin for patients with

advanced neuroendocrine cancers. In particular, the efficacy of bevacizumab and

pertuzumab treatment is of great interest. The primary endpoint of this trial will be

response rate. Toxicity and progression-free survival will be obtained and evaluated.

Detailed Description

* To determine overall response rate of patients with low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and sandostatin LAR®.

* To determine the disease control rate (objective response + stable disease), time to treatment progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® treatment.

* To define the toxicity and safety of the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® when used in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer.

10. Patient must be accessible for treatment and follow-up.

11. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test performed <=7 days prior to start of treatment. Women of childbearing potential must use effective birth control measures during treatment. If a woman becomes pregnant or suspects she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must agree to inform her treating physician immediately.

12. Patients must be able to understand the nature of the study and give

written informed consent, and comply with study requirements

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, highgrade neuroendocrine carcinoma, adenocarcinoid, goblet cell carcinoid, atypical carcinoid, anaplastic carcinoid, and small cell carcinoma are not eligible.

2. Previous treatment with VEGF or EGFR inhibitors.

3. Cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy or radiotherapy <=4 weeks prior to study entry.

4. History or known presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

5. Patients who have had a major surgical procedure (not including mediastinoscopy), open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury <=4 weeks prior to beginning treatment.

6. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.

7. History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of any component of treatment (bevacizumab, sandostatin, and/or pertuzumab).

8. Patients with proteinuria at screening as demonstrated by urine dipstick for proteinuria >=2+ (patients discovered to have >=2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24-hour urine collection, and must demonstrate <=1 g of protein/24 hours to be eligible).

9. Patients with a serious non-healing wound, active ulcer, or untreated bone fracture.

10. Patients with evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Define Toxicity and Safety	18 months	To define the toxicity and safety of the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® when used in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer - defined by grade 3/4, treatment-related toxicity
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	18 months	The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Overall Survival (OS)	18 months	The Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Death
Disease Control Rate	18 months	The Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment or Experience Stable Disease. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI or CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), Neither Sufficient Shrinkage to Qualify For PR, Nor Sufficient Increase to Qualify for Progressive Disease; Disease Control Rate = CR + PR + SD.
