Trial Information

Phase I Study of Vandetanib (ZD 6474) and Bevacizumab Combination Therapy Evaluating the VEGF and EGF Signal Transduction Pathways in Adults With Solid Tumors and Lymphomas


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose, safety, and toxicity of vandetanib and
bevacizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma.

Secondary

- Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of this regimen in these patients.

- Measure changes in VEGF and other angiogenic cytokines in plasma samples from these
patients.

- Determine the biochemical changes in the EGF signal transduction pathways in tumor
biopsy samples from these patients.

- Determine the anti-angiogenic effects of this regimen in tumor biopsy samples from
these patients.

- Evaluate the application of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI to determine early changes in
tumor vascular permeability during treatment.

- Evaluate the effects of this regimen on circulating endothelial progenitors and mature
circulating endothelial cells in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral vandetanib once daily on days 1-21 and bevacizumab IV over
30-90 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo blood sample collection periodically for correlative laboratory studies,
including pharmacokinetic, biomarker (VEGF and other angiogenic cytokines), and circulating
endothelial cell analysis. Patients may also undergo optional tumor biopsies for additional
correlative laboratory studies.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Solid tumor that is refractory to standard therapy or for which no standard
therapy exists

imaging (MRI or CT scan) for ≥ 3 months after treatment

radiosurgery (gamma knife, linear accelerator, or equivalent), or a combination
of therapy as deemed appropriate by the treating physician

jeopardize study compliance

discontinuation
