Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: TERMINATED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 2 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2011-07-13

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well giving pazopanib hydrochloride and anastrozole before surgery works in treating patients with stage II-III estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Pazopanib hydrochloride and anastrozole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride and anastrozole together before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal cells that have to be removed

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate at surgery.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate alternative measurements of anti-tumor activity: proportion of patients achieving sustained decrease in antigen KI-67 (ki-67) at 12 weeks of therapy with anastrozole plus pazopanib (pazopanib hydrochloride); proportion of patients achieving down-staging to a pathologic stage 0 or 1 at surgery.

II. To assess qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this combination, with special emphasis on the frequency of events grade 3 or greater, or the occurrence of unexpected toxicities.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride* orally (PO) once daily (QD) and anastrozole PO QD for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo definitive surgery.

NOTE: *Pazopanib hydrochloride is stopped 7-14 days before surgery.

Conditions

Estrogen Receptor-positive Breast Cancer; Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 Negative Carcinoma of Breast; Male Breast Cancer; Recurrent Breast Cancer; Stage II Breast Cancer; Stage IIIA Breast Cancer; Stage IIIB Breast Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Serum creatinine =< 1.5 mg/dL (133 umol/L) or, if > 1.5 mg/dL: calculated creatinine clearance (CLCR) >= 50 mL/min
• Urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPC) < 1; if UPC >= 1, then a 24-hour urine protein must be assessed; subjects must have a 24-hour urine protein value < 1 g to be eligible
• A female is eligible to enter and participate in this study if she is:
• Is post-menopausal
• Subjects not using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) must have experienced total cessation of menses for >= 1 year and be greater than 45 years in age, OR, in questionable cases, have follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) value > 40 mIU/mL and an estradiol value < 40 pg/mL (< 140 pmol/L)
• Subjects using HRT must have experienced total cessation of menses for >= 1 year and be greater than 45 years of age OR have had documented evidence of menopause based on FSH and estradiol concentrations prior to initiation of HRT; patients will be required to be off of HRT for at least 2 weeks prior to initiating therapy

Exclusion Criteria

• Prior malignancy; note: subjects who have had another malignancy and have been disease-free for >= 5 years, or subjects with a history of completely resected non-melanomatous skin carcinoma or successfully treated in situ carcinoma are eligible
• Known distant metastases at any site; history or clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis

• Concomitant: the concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin) may increase pazopanib concentrations and should be avoided; if coadministration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor is warranted, reduce the dose of pazopanib to 400 mg; further dose reductions may be needed if adverse effects occur during therapy; this dose is predicted to adjust the pazopanib AUC to the range observed without inhibitors; however, there are no clinical data with this dose adjustment in patients receiving strong CYP3A4 inhibitors; grapefruit juice should be avoided as it inhibits CYP3A4 activity and may also increase plasma concentrations of pazopanib
• Concomitant strong CYP3A4 inducer: the concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inducers (e.g. rifampin) may decrease pazopanib concentrations and should be avoided

• Minimum Eligible Age: 18 Years
