Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The phase I trial aims to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of vandetanib in combination with standard radiation therapy, 131I-mIBG, in patients with advanced phaeochromocytoma (phaeo) and paraganglioma (PG) by assessing the safety and tolerability of the combination treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

VIBRaNT is a registered phase I trial in patients with locally advanced or metastatic phaeochromocytoma or paraganglioma, not amenable to surgical resection.

Patients will receive vandetanib (an inhibitor of VEGF, EGFR and RET tyrosine kinase) in combination with standard radiation therapy Iodine-131 labelled Meta-iodobenzylguanidine (131I-mIBG).

Vandetanib and 131I-mIBG will be given in 12-weekly cycles: 131I-miBG will be given on day 1 of each cycle and vandetanib will started on day 1 of each cycle and continue to be taken once every day. The phase I trial aims to determine with recommended phase II dose of vandetanib (either 100, 200 or 300 mg once daily) - the dose of vandetanib that patients will receive will depend on the dose under investigation at the time of patient registration.

The vandetanib dose will be determined by the Modified Continual Reassessment Method (mCRM) - a toxicity model which described the probability of a toxicity occurring at each dose level, which is based on clinical judgement and any available toxicity data.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Histopathological/cytological diagnosis of advanced phaeo/PG defined as patients with local or metastatic disease not amenable to surgical resection, or R1 resection post original surgical debulking
2. Positive 123I-mIBG diagnostic scan
3. Stable blood pressure (\<140/90mmHg), if appropriate, on anti-hypertensive therapy
4. No previous systemic chemotherapy within 3 months prior to registration
5. No previous mIBG therapy within 12 months prior to registration (previous cumulative activity must not exceed 15 GBq)
6. Measurable disease (RECIST v1.1)
7. WHO performance status 0 or 1
8. Age ≥ 18
9. Estimated life expectancy \> 3 months.
10. Adequate bone marrow function: Haemoglobin ≥ 100 g/L, White Blood Cell ≥ 3.0 x 10\^9/L, Absolute neutrophil ≥ 1.5 x 10\^9/L, Platelet ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L
11. Adequate liver function: Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN); ALT/AST and ALP≤ 2.5 x ULN or ≤ 5 x ULN if related to liver metastases
12. Adequate renal function: Serum urea and creatinine \< 1.5x ULN AND Calculated creatinine clearance (GFR) ≥50 mL/min. If the calculated GFR is below 50, isotope clearance test is required to confirm GFR ≥50 mL/min
13. Electrolytes: Potassium ≥ 4.0 mmol/L and ≤ 5.5 mmol/L, Magnesium ≥ Lower Limit of Normal and ≤ 1.23 mmol/L, Corrected calcium within institution normal range
14. Negative pregnancy test for women of child-bearing potential AND be using adequate barrier contraception, which must be continued for 12 months after completion of treatment (male patients must also agree to use barrier contraception during the trial and for 12 months after completion of treatment)
15. Able to swallow oral medication
16. Capable of giving written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patients undergoing current treatment with curative intent
2. Previous or current malignancies of other histological types within the last 5 years (exceptions listed in the trial protocol)
3. Any prior exposure to VEGF, EGFR or RET inhibitors or history of hypersensitivity to vandetanib or any excipient agents
4. Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases or laboratory finding that in the view of the investigator makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial
5. Evidence of active uncontrolled infection (patients on antibiotics are eligible)
6. Chronic gastrointestinal disease (e.g. Inflammatory Bowel Disease) or significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption

* Significant cardiac event (myocardial infarction), New York Heart Association Class II or above, within 12 weeks before registration, or presence of cardiac disease that in the opinion of the investigator increased the risk of ventricular arrhythmia
* Prior or current cardiomyopathy
* Baseline LVEF \< 40% as measured by ECHO/MUGA
* Atrial fibrillation with heart rate \>100 bpm
* Unstable ischaemic heart disease (myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to starting treatment, or angina requiring use of nitrates more than once weekly)
* History of arrhythmia that was symptomatic or required treatment
* QTcB prolongation \>480 ms at baseline
* QT prolongation with other medications that required discontinuation of that medication
8. Any psychiatric or other disorder likely to impact on informed consent or ability to manage isolation
9. Major surgery within 28 days prior to registration
10. Brain metastases or spinal cord compression, unless treated at least four weeks before the first dose and stable without steroid treatment for 10 days
