Trial Information

Prospective Randomized Phase II Trial of Pazopanib (NSC # 737754, IND 75648) Versus Placebo in Patients With Progressive Carcinoid Tumors


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. For patients with progressive carcinoid tumors, progression-free survival (PFS) (PFS
defined by central review according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]
1.1) will be compared between patients randomized to treatment with pazopanib (pazopanib
hydrochloride) versus placebo.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Overall survival will be compared between treatment arms. II. Objective response rate,
duration of response, and time to treatment failure will be compared between treatment arms.

III. Progression free survival as assessed by central radiology review and local radiology
review will be compared overall and within treatment arms.

IV. PFS at 6 months and 12 months will be estimated within each treatment arm. V. Safety and
tolerability of treatment with pazopanib/placebo will be evaluated within each treatment
arm.

VI. Biochemical response (for chromogranin A, defined as a decrease of 50% or more in plasma
chromogranin A levels from baseline and for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid [5-HIAA], defined as
a decrease of 50% or more in urinary 5-HIAA levels from baseline) will be compared between
treatment arms among patients with elevated baseline levels of chromogranin A [CGA] and
5-HIAA.

VII. PFS and other indicators of efficacy will be estimated in patients who crossover to
pazopanib from placebo.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Average time to submission of scans to the Imaging Core Laboratory (ICL) and average ICL
"turn-around" time will be estimated.

II. Discordance between the local and central radiology review in assessment of progression
will be estimated.

III. The rates and quality of radiographic progression (pre-study, on-study, and
post-progression) will be characterized.

IV. To assess for differences in quality of life (QOL)-related domains between the two
treatment groups (pazopanib versus placebo).

V. To determine if the more brief measures of QOL-related domains provide comparable
information to that which is provided by the longer assessments (European Organization for
Research and Treatment of Cancer [EORTC], neuroendocrine tumors [NET]21).

VI. To provide validation data for the EORTC NET21 module in terms of responsiveness over
time and differences across arms.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

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

ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. At the time of progressive disease,
patients may cross-over to Arm I.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for 5 years.
