Phase I Trial Of Pazopanib In Combination With Irinotecan And Temozolomide (Pazit) For Children And Young Adults With Advanced Sarcoma.

10526 Background: Pro-angiogenic factors may represent therapeutic targets in sarcoma. Preclinical studies have demonstrated a potential additive or synergistic interaction between anti-angiogenic agents and chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), toxicities, pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) effects of PAZIT in patients with advanced sarcoma. Methods: Patients 6-30 years of age with relapsed/refractory sarcomas were eligible. In the initial dose escalation plan (A), patients received pazopanib PO (225-450 mg/m2/dose) on Days 1-21 of 21-day cycles. Pazopanib was combined with fixed doses of irinotecan (IV 50 or PO 90 mg/m2/dose) and temozolomide PO 100 mg/m2/dose on Days 1-5. Due to DLTs, an amendment was made to the dose escalation plan (B) and patients received fixed doses of pazopanib PO (225 mg/m2/dose) on Days 1-21 of 21-day cycles and reduced irinotecan doses (IV 25-37.5 or PO 45-67.5 mg/m2/dose) and temozolomide PO 100 mg/m2/dose on Days 1-5. Oral cephalosporin diarrhea prophylaxis was required. Dose escalation followed a 3+3 design. Correlative studies included PK (pazopanib, irinotecan) and PD (angiogenic factors, ctDNA) effects. Results: Sixteen patients were treated (median age 16 years, range 7-21). The dose levels in the table were evaluated. First cycle DLTs occurred at all dose levels (Table) and included diarrhea, pancreatitis, colitis, neutropenia, hypertension, deep vein thrombosis, and ALT increase. Due to excessive toxicity, an MTD could not be established. One patient with osteosarcoma had a partial response. Four patients had prolonged stable disease > 4 cycles, including 2 patients with Ewing sarcoma (5 and 6 cycles), rhabdomyosarcoma (9 cycles), and desmoplastic small round cell tumor (6 cycles). Mean±SD plasma exposures to pazopanib, irinotecan, and SN-38 in patients treated on dose level 1B (n = 4) on Day 4 were 601±83, 1.4±0.2 and 0.1±0.04 ug/mL*hr, respectively. Analyses of correlative studies are ongoing. Conclusions: Combination PAZIT therapy is not tolerable as evaluated at these doses/schedules. This study provides important toxicity data to inform future clinical trials using combination anti-angiogenic strategies in sarcoma. Clinical trial information: NCT03139331. [Table: see text]
