Trial Information

A Phase II Evaluation of Pazopanib (NSC # 737754, IND #75648) in the Treatment of Recurrent or Persistent Carcinosarcoma of the Uterus


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the activity of pazopanib in patients with persistent or recurrent
carcinosarcoma of the uterus as measured by the proportion of patients who survive
progression-free for at least 6 months and the proportion of patients who have objective
tumor response (complete or partial).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by Common
Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).

II. To determine the duration of progression-free survival and overall survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat
every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and
then every 6 months for 3 years.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients must have histologically confirmed uterine carcinosarcoma which is
persistent or recurrent

- Acceptable histological type is defined as carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed
müllerian tumor), homologous or heterologous type

- Patients must have measurable disease

- Measurable disease is defined by RECIST (version 1.1)

- Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately
measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded)

- Each lesion must be greater than or equal to 10 mm when measured by CT, MRI, or
caliper measurement by clinical exam or greater than or equal to 20 mm when
measured by chest x-ray

- Lymph nodes must be greater than or equal to 15 mm in short axis when measured
by CT or MRI

- Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this
protocol as defined by RECIST version 1.1

- Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target"
lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm
persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy

- Patients must have had one prior chemotherapeutic regimen for management of
carcinosarcoma

- Initial treatment may include chemotherapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy,
and/or consolidation/maintenance therapy

- Chemotherapy administered in conjunction with primary radiation as a
radio-sensitizer WILL be counted as a systemic chemotherapy regimen

eligible; if AST and/or ALT are greater than 1 x ULN but less than or equal to
2.5 x ULN, THEN the bilirubin must be less than or equal to ULN for patient to
be eligible

medications

- This does not include asymptomatic atrial fibrillation with controlled
ventricular rate

- Women who have received prior anthracycline (e.g., doxorubicin and/or liposomal
doxorubicin) and who have an ejection fraction less than the institutional lower
limit of normal will be excluded from the study

- Patients with a prior life-time exposure to doxorubicin (or liposomal
