Phase I Trial of Oral Metronomic Topotecan and Oral Pazopanib to Treat Recurrent/Persistent Gynecologic Tumors
Gynecologic Tumors
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Gynecologic Tumors focused on measuring Gynecologic tumors
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects must provide written informed consent prior to the performance of study specific procedures, and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow-up.
- Female patients, greater than 18 years of age with a histologically confirmed recurrent/persistent gynecologic malignancy.
- For patients with recurrent/persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma: persistent disease = progression during primary platinum therapy; recurrent disease = disease that recurs ≤ 12 months after discontinuing primary platinum therapy; if disease recurrence occurs > 12 months after discontinuing primary platinum therapy, there must be progression either during a 2nd platinum therapy or < 6 months after discontinuing the 2nd platinum therapy.
For patients with other gynecologic malignancies:
- Malignancy is metastatic or unresectable and no curative or palliative measures exist or are no longer effective.
- Maximum of two total prior treatments (this includes neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic settings) for the recurrent or persistent gynecologic tumors including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, investigational therapy, radiation therapy, etc.)
- Disease may be measurable or non-measurable according to RECIST version 1.0
- Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) performance status of 0,1,or 2
- Must have a life expectancy of at least six months
Adequate bone marrow, liver, renal, and cardiac function at study entry as assessed by the following:
- Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL.

- Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L.
- Prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) < 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) < 1.2 x ULN.
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
- Alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL or if serum creatinine is greater than 1.5 mg/dL, calculated creatinine clearance must be > 50 mL/min
- Urine dipstick for protein < 2+ or urine protein creatinine (UPC) ratio < 1.0.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% or the institutional lower limit of normal (LLN)

Exclusion Criteria:
- Treatment naive patients.
- Repetitive or prolonged neutropenia or thrombocytopenia during previous therapy.
- Concurrent malignancy other than malignancies under study. Subjects who have had another malignancy and have been disease free for 3 years, or subjects with a history of completely resected non-melanomatous skin carcinoma or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible.
- Prior radiation therapy.
- Myelosuppressive chemotherapy within the past 28 days or has not recovered from the myelosuppressive effects of recent chemotherapy.
- Use of an investigational agent, including an investigational anti-cancer agent, immunotherapy, biological therapy, or hormonal therapy within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment.
- Prior major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to the first dose of study treatment and/or presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer.
- History or clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis.
Inability to swallow a capsule or clinically significant gastrointestinal abnormalities including, but not limited to:
- Malabsorption syndrome
- Major resection of the stomach or small bowel that could affect the absorption of study treatment
- Active peptic ulcer disease
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal conditions with increased risk of perforation
- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days prior to beginning study treatment.
- Unresolved bowel obstruction or diarrhea ≥ Grade 1
- Known intraluminal metastatic lesion(s) with risk of bleeding
- Known endobronchial lesions or involvement of large pulmonary vessels by tumor.
- Presence of uncontrolled infection.
- Prolongation of corrected QT interval > 480 milliseconds.
History of any one or more of the following cardiovascular conditions within the past 6 months:
- Cardiac angioplasty or stenting
- Myocardial infarction
- Unstable angina
- Coronary artery bypass graft
- Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
- Class III or IV congestive heart failure, as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA)
- Poorly controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure of > 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure of > 90 mmHg). Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication(s) is permitted prior to study entry.
- History of cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, pulmonary embolism, or insufficiently treated deep vein thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months. Subjects with recent DVT who have been treated with therapeutic anti-coagulating agents for at least 6 weeks are eligible
- Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis.
- Recent hemoptysis in excess of 2.5 mL within 8 weeks of 1st dose of study treatment.
- Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other condition that could interfere with subject's safety, provision of informed consent, or compliance to study procedures.
- Use of any prohibited medication within 14 days or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study treatment and during the study.
- Prior use of any investigational or licensed anti-angiogenic agent, including topotecan, bevacizumab, thalidomide, and agents that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptors, or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF).
- Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is > Grade 1 and/or that is progressing in severity, except alopecia.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Experimenal
Metronomic oral topotecan and oral pazopanib will be administered by mouth beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1. Patients will be enrolled and observed for dose limiting toxicity (DLT) for 1 cycle of treatment. Dose modification of the combination will depend on the number of patients experiencing DLT(s) at each dose level.
