Trial Information

Phase I Clinical Trial Evaluating the Toxicity, Pharmacokinetics and Biological Effect of Intravenous Bevacizumab (Avastin TM) in Combination With Escalating Doses of Oral AZD2171 for Patients With Advanced Malignancies


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and toxicity profile of intravenous bevacizumab (avastin)
administered in combination with oral AZD2171 (cediranib maleate) for patients with advanced
malignancies.

II. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of oral AZD2171 in combination with bevacizumab
(avastin) administered to patients with advanced malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the serum concentrations of Nitric Oxide (NO) and Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)
among patients treated with this regimen and to correlate with VEGF expression.

II. To determine changes in the tumor vasculature detected by DCE-MRI among patients treated
with this combination of VEGF receptor blocking agents.

III. To evaluate the potential predictive role of angiogenesis molecular endpoints in
malignant effusion samples.

IV. To assess in a descriptive fashion the efficacy of the studied regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 and oral cediranib
maleate once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of bevacizumab and cediranib maleate until
the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding
that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Blood samples are acquired at baseline, on day 2, and after 2 courses of treatment for
pharmacokinetic studies. Samples are analyzed by TUNEL, immunofluorescence staining,
laser-scanning cytometry, flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and
immunohistochemistry to assess apoptosis in tumor and endothelial cells, microvessel density
mean vessel volume, nitric oxide concentration, and signal transduction pathways (i.e., ERK
½, P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, protein kinase B, circulating endothelial and
progenitor cells, basic fibroblast growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)
receptor phosphorylation, VEGF, and hypoxia inducible factor-1α). Some patients also undergo
tissue biopsy at baseline and after 2 courses of treatment for characterization of vascular
and angiogenesis markers. Some patients also undergo DCE-MRI at baseline, once between days
22-24, and after every 2 courses of treatment to assess blood perfusion.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 6 weeks.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients must have histological confirmation of Solid Tumor or Lymphoma that is
metastatic or unresectable; if assessing a single target lesion, histological
confirmation of that particular lesion MUST be carried out

- Patients may have received an unlimited number of prior therapies; however, At least
4 weeks MUST have passed since the last chemotherapy to day 1 of registration (6
weeks for regimens containing nitrosoureas or Mitomycin C)

- ECOG performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL

before starting therapy

- Patients with stable brain metastasis (stable disease on one MRI assessment at least
4 weeks after completion of whole brain radiation, no evidence of progression on MRI
assessment 4 weeks after stereotactic radiosurgery or complete surgical excision)
will also be allowed to participate in this trial

- Patients with histologically proven intracranial glioblastoma, gliosarcoma or
anaplastic astrocytoma will be eligible; patients must have shown unequivocal
radiographic evidence for tumor progression by MRI scan; scan should be performed
within 14 days prior to registration and on a steroid dose that has been stable for
at least 5 days; if the steroid dose is increased between the date of imaging and
registration, a new baseline MRI is required

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with squamous non-small cell lung carcinoma

- Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture

- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess
within 28 days of day 1 of registration

- Invasive procedures defined as follows:

- Major surgical procedure, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 28
days prior to Day 1 registration

- Anticipation of need for major surgical procedures during the course of the
study

- Core biopsy within 7 days prior to day 1 of therapy

- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents

- Patients with bleeding diathesis (clinical bleeding, prothrombin time >= 1.5 X upper
institutional normal value, INR >= 1.5, activated partial thromboplastin time aPTT >=
1.5 X upper institutional normal value), active gastric or duodenal ulcer

- Uncontrolled systemic vascular hypertension (Systolic blood pressure > 140 mmHg,
Diastolic Blood Pressure > 90 mmHg)

- Urine protein should be screened by dipstick or urine analysis; for proteinuria > 1+
or urine protein:creatinine ratio > 1.0, 24-hour urine protein should be obtained and
the level should be < 1000 mg for patient enrollment

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection requiring parenteral antibiotics on Day 1

- Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease:

- History of CVA within 6 months

- Myocardial Infarction or unstable angina within 6 months

- New York Heart Association Grade II or greater congestive heart failure, serious
cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, unstable angina pectoris

- Clinically significant peripheral vascular disease

- QTc prolongation > 500msec or other significant ECG abnormality noted within 14
days of registration

- Conditions requiring concurrent use of drugs or biologics with proarrythmic
potential; these drugs are prohibited during studies with AZD2171 (refer to
appendix V for a listing of these agents)

- Patients with history of hemoptysis

- Patients with tumor mass abutting a major vessel

- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because AZD-2171 is an angiogenesis
inhibiting agent with potential teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because of the
potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
mother with AZD-2171, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated
with AZD-2171; these potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this
study; women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use contraception prior
to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become
pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should
inform her treating physician immediately
