Trial overview
Official title: A phase II study to evaluate the effects of up to 12 weeks of pazopanib dosing on bleeding in subjects with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia
Trial description: This study will investigate whether pazopanib can reduce epistaxis and improve anaemia in subjects with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) at a dose that is well tolerated. The study will have 2 parts. Part A will be an open label, dose-escalation study in which up to 4 cohorts of approximately 6 subjects each will receive increasing doses of pazopanib for a maximum of 12 weeks. The dose in the first cohort will be 50mg per day and the maximum dose in a cohort will be 400 mg per day. Dose escalation will not occur as planned if the predefined safety stopping criteria are met or at least 4 subjects in a cohort have demonstrated efficacy (as measured by epistaxis, haemoglobin, transfusion or iron infusion requirements). If efficacy is demonstrated in Part A with an acceptable safety profile, Part B will be initiated to further define the optimal dose(s) including dose duration/schedule and to provide further support for the proof of mechanism. Approximately 15 subjects will participate and will be randomised to active or placebo in a ratio of 3:2. This part of the study will be double-blind.

According to the Curaçao criteria, a definite diagnosis of HHT is defined as having at least 3 of the following criteria while a possible diagnosis is defined as 2 criteria: a) spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis; b) multiple telangiectasias at characteristic sites: lips, oral cavity, fingers, nose; c) visceral lesions: gastrointestinal (GI) telangiectasia, pulmonary, hepatic, cerebral or spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs); d) a first degree relative with HHT according to these criteria.
- Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones; and with the exception of vascular abnormalities that are related to the HHT).
- Subject has known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to pazopanib that in the opinion of the investigator contradicts their participation.
Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Males/females aged between 18 and 75 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Diagnosis of definite or possible HHT by the Curaçao criteria. According to the Curaçao criteria, a definite diagnosis of HHT is defined as having at least 3 of the following criteria while a possible diagnosis is defined as 2 criteria: a) spontaneous and recurrent epistaxis; b) multiple telangiectasias at characteristic sites: lips, oral cavity, fingers, nose; c) visceral lesions: gastrointestinal (GI) telangiectasia, pulmonary, hepatic, cerebral or spinal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs); d) a first degree relative with HHT according to these criteria.
- Subject meets at least one of the following criteria: a) Severe epistaxis over previous 4 weeks defined as an average of at least 3 nose bleeds per week AND a total duration of greater than 15 min per week AND requiring iron therapy (oral and/or intravenous); b) Moderate or severe iron deficiency anaemia (Hgb < 11gram [g]/deciliter [dL], at screening) despite iron infusions (at least 0.5g iron per month) or blood transfusions (at least 2 units per month) AND substantial compromise in the quality of life according to the investigator (e.g. nose bleeds, lethargic, cannot maintain job, listless, fatigue). Anaemia must be HHT related in the opinion of the investigator, ie: due to HHT-defined bleeding (epistaxis and/or bleeding from the GI tract [presence of telangiectatic lesions, exclusion of active ulcer disease or other infection, inflammation]), and lack of other known etiologies such as blood dyscrasias.
- Epistaxis (if applicable) is considered to be clinically stable during the 4 weeks prior to Screening in the clinical judgment of the investigator (i.e. no major changes in frequency or duration of epistaxis).
- A female subject is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential defined as pre-menopausal females with a documented tubal ligation or hysterectomy [for this definition, “documented” refers to the outcome of the investigator's/designee’s review of the subject's medical history for study eligibility, as obtained via a verbal interview with the subject or from the subject’s medical records]; or postmenopausal defined as 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhoea [in questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) > 40 milli-international units per milliliter (MIU/mL) and estradiol < 40 picogram per milliliter (pg/mL) (<147 picomole per liter [pmol/L]) is confirmatory].
- Capable of giving written informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the consent form.
- Subject is able and willing to return for outpatient visits at the protocol specified intervals.
- Subject agrees not to undergo laser ablation of nasal telangiectasias or take any experimental therapies for HHT other than the study drug while participating in the study (over the counter medications, topical treatments, nasal hygiene and palliative therapies are acceptable as long as use is consistent). If subjects stop taking experimental therapies on entry to the study there should be a wash-out period of at least 5 half-lives prior to the start of the run-in).
- Based on averaged corrected QT either Bazett’s formula (QTcB), Fridericia’s formula (QTcF) values of triplicate ECGs obtained over a brief recording period: QTc < 450 milliseconds (msec); or QTc < 480 msec in subjects with Bundle Branch Block.
Exclusion criteria:
- Current or chronic history of liver disease, or known hepatic or biliary abnormalities (with the exception of Gilbert's syndrome or asymptomatic gallstones; and with the exception of vascular abnormalities that are related to the HHT).
- Subject has known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to pazopanib that in the opinion of the investigator contradicts their participation.

- Where participation in the study would result in donation of blood or blood products in excess of 500 mL within a 56 day period.
- The subject has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigational product within the following time period prior to the start of the run-in period: 30 days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biological effect of the investigational product (whichever is longer).
- Unable or unwilling to discontinue use of prohibited medications mentioned below for at least 14 days or 5 half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to the start of the run-in period and for the duration of the study. Medications that inhibit Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) may result in increased plasma pazopanib concentrations; therefore, co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is PROHIBITED beginning 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment until 15 days after the last dose of pazopanib. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors include (but are not limited to): Antibiotics: clarithromycin, telithromycin, troleandomycin; human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): protease inhibitors (ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, amprenavir, lopinavir); Antifungals: itraconzaole, ketoconazole, voriconazole, fluconazole; Antidepressants: nefazodone, Miscellaneous: grapefruit, grapefruit juice or other grapefruit product. statins, anticoagulants and tamoxifen use is prohibited.
