A Phase I, Open-label, Study of Pazopanib in Combination with Epirubicin or Doxorubicin for Advanced Solid Tumors
Trial overview
Optimum tolerated regimen (OTR) for each combination regimen in each arm of the study.OTR determined by evaluation of AEs and change in lab values.OTR defined as highest dosing regimen that results in dose limiting toxicity in no more than 1 of 6 subject
Timeframe: Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Safety assessments, including routine physical exam findings, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (chemistry and hematology to include coagulation factors), clinical monitoring and/or observation, and adverse event reporting.
Timeframe: Safety assessment timing is noted on the Time and Events Table. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Safety and tolerability endpoints will include cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction) monitored by either MUGA or ECHO. A 12-lead ECG will also be monitored.
Timeframe: Safety assessment timing is noted on the Time and Events Table. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Pharmacokinetic endpoints will be AUC, Cmax, Tmax, and t1/2 of pazopanib, epirubicin, and doxorubicin, and clearance of epirubicin and doxorubicin if data are sufficient.
Timeframe: PK samples will only be collected in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Assessment of anti-tumor activity using RECIST criteria will be recorded as complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease.
Timeframe: Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Levels of circulating cytokine and angiogenic factors (CAF) biomarkers (such as IL 2, IL-10, VEGF, sVEGFR2) in plasma will be determined.
Timeframe: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1, 2, and 3. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Assessment of circulating BMD angiogenic cells in cancer peripheral blood in patients before and during treatment with oral pazopanib (continuous and intermittent regimens) and epirubicin or doxorubicin.
Timeframe: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1 and 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Gene expression profiling in selected subpopulations of BMD angiogenic cells in peripheral blood of cancer patients before and during treatment with pazopanib (continuous or intermittent regimens) in combination with epirubicin or doxorubicin.
Timeframe: Biomarker samples will only be collected in Cycles 1 and 2. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Genetic variants in candidate genes in the host DNA will be evaluated
Timeframe: One pharmacogenetic sample will be collected during the study ideally in Cycle 1. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.

Patients with metastatic disease to the brain should have definitive therapy for their brain metastases, should be asymptomatic. (Patients with previously treated brain metastases who are asymptomatic, off steroids and anti-seizure medications for greater than 3 months are eligible for the study).
- There must be measurable disease or evaluable disease for subjects to be included in the cohort expansion phase. Measurable disease is not a criterion for subjects enrolling in the dose escalation phase.
