Phase II Study Evaluating the Role of Pazopanib in Angiosarcoma


Pazopanib has shown encouraging activity in a previous phase II trial in certain sarcoma
subtypes. In the phase II trial of pazopanib as described above, conducted by the EORTC, the
progression free rate at 12 weeks exceeded 40% for patients with leiomyosarcomas, synovial
cell sarcomas, and other eligible sarcomas, but not liposarcomas. In the group of other
sarcomas, five were described as vascular sarcomas.

The investigators hypothesize that pazopanib will have therapeutic activity in angiosarcoma
because they are derived from endothelial cells, and pazopanib is an anti-angiogenic agent.
In addition, agents with anti-angiogenic properties have shown single agent activity in this
disease. Sorafenib has been shown to have a 14% response rate in angiosarcomas in previously
treated patients in the phase II setting. Bevacizumab has demonstrated a 12% response rate
[12]. Given the limited data on the activity of pazopanib in angiosarcomas, the
investigators propose to evaluate its activity in patients with angiosarcoma.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Response Rate

Outcome Description:

Using a Simon design with n1=15, n2=30, we will submit 15 patients initially and evaluate them for response and any time up to 3 months. If at least 1/15 patient responds, then another 15 patients will be recruited. If at least 4/30 patients respond the investigators will reject the null of 5% response and accept the 20% alternative. Otherwise, the study will be terminated after the initial 15 patients are evaluated and the null hypothesis accepted. The study has 46% chance of early stopping under the null, 3.5% under the alternative. It has overall 86% power and 5.8% type I error.

Outcome Time Frame:

at 3 months

Safety Issue:

No
