NCT ID: NCT01692496 Completed - Clinical trials for Advanced and / or Metastatic Liposarcoma

Activity and Tolerability of Pazopanib in Advanced and/or Metastatic Liposarcoma. A Phase II Clinical Trial

Start date: January 29, 2013
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Soft tissue and bone sarcomas are rare malignant tumors, which encompasses a large family of more than 50 histologically distinct tumor subtypes, all of which share a putative mesenchymal origin. In the case of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment, but despite curative surgery, around half of patients develop distant metastases and die from disease. Few therapeutic approaches are currently available to patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic STS and only anthracyclines, ifosfamide and trabectedin have shown activity, with response rates of 20-40% in previously untreated patients. Recent and ongoing trials have investigated a variety of combination chemotherapeutic regimens (variously employing ifosfamide, doxorubicin, gemcitabine, temozolomide, vincristine, cisplatin, and dacarbazine, among others) as well as targeted therapies, which in some cases have yielded improvements in response rate but which have had little impact on survival. No other medical option is currently available, and the median survival of patients with soft-tissue sarcoma with non-resectable metastases is around 12-15 months, and approximately 8 months after second line chemotherapy. Liposarcomas are STS which account for at least 20% of all STS in adults. They can be further classified into 3 histologically and biologically different subtypes: well-differentiated liposarcoma/dedifferentiated liposarcoma (ALT-WD), myxoid or round cell liposarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma. ALT-WD liposarcomas are locally aggressive rarely metastasizing tumors characterized by ring or giant marker chromosomes on the cytogenetic analysis and by amplification of the 12q13-21 region on Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) (MDM2, CDK4 and HMGIC). They account for about 40% iv of liposarcomas with a 5 year Overall survival (OS) around 80%. In a series of WD/DD treated with several regimens response rate was 12.5% OS 15 months and median PFS 3.6 months(95 confidence interval (CI): 3.3-5.9) Mixoid /round cell liposarcoma accounts for 45-50% of all liposarcomas. They tend to metastasize to unusual soft tissue and bone locations. High histologic grade with more than 5% of round cell component is associated with a 5-year OS of 50% approximately. They are characterized by t(23;16)(q13-14;p11) which leads to the fusion of CHOP and TLS genes Pleomorphic liposarcoma accounts for approximately 5-10% of all liposarcomas, characterized by high grade features with frequent and early lung metastasis and cytogenetically by high chromosome counts and complex structural rearrangements. VEGF is expressed in many STS in which increased expression is associated with higher grade and worse prognosis. Pazopanib is an oral angiogenesis inhibitor that targets mainly VEGFR, PDGFR and c-kit. Recently the results of a phase II trial of pazopanib in STS have been published. It was a four-cohort 2-stages study. The liposarcoma stratum was closed after the first stage because of a PFS at 12 weeks of 17% (3 out of 17 patients did not progressed after 12 weeks). After central pathologic review, 2 other patients initially classified as other STS were found to have liposarcoma with stable disease at 12 weeks (5/19: 26% PFS12w), thus fulfilling criteria for cohort expansion. Phase II study had been completed and in phase III study patients with liposarcomas were excluded so therefore data on the liposarcoma cohort are inconclusive. Furthermore the positive results of the phase III study PALETTE have been recently communicated, encouraging this treatment in other sarcomas: progression-free survival (PFS) per independent review was significantly prolonged with pazopanib (median: 4.6 vs 1.5 months; HR=0.31, 95% CI 0.24-0.40; P<0.0001). The interim analysis for overall survival shows a statistically non-significant improvement of pazopanib vs placebo (median: 11.9 vs 10.4 months, HR=0.83, 95% CI 0.62-1.09). Soluble factors associated with efficacy and toxicity of pazopanib in these patients had been also reported. Decreases in VEGFR2 and increase in PlGF were both associated with toxicity (HTA and TSH elevation) and poorer prognosis.

NCT ID: NCT01691924 Completed - Parkinson Disease Clinical Trials

Study To Assess the Safety and Tolerability of PBF-509 in Male Healthy Volunteers

Start date: October 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

No clinical trials with PBF-509 in humans have been performed to date. Only preclinical studies have been done to assess the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, the safety and the toxicological profile of the PBF-509. An initial testing of PBF-509 in humans is planned, starting with the first-into-man clinical trial where a single oral, dose-escalating, and placebo-controlled design will be implemented.

NCT ID: NCT01691521 Completed - Asthma Clinical Trials

Efficacy and Safety Study of Mepolizumab Adjunctive Therapy in Subjects With Severe Uncontrolled Refractory Asthma

Start date: October 8, 2012
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study will evaluate two dose regimens of mepolizumab [75mg intravenous (i.v.) or 100mg subcutaneous (SC) every 4 weeks] compared with placebo over a 32 week treatment period in subjects with severe refractory asthma with elevated blood eosinophils. Efficacy will be measured by a reduction in the frequency of asthma exacerbations. Additional efficacy assessments will include measurements of lung function, symptom scores, and quality of life. Safety will be assessed by clinical laboratory samples, ECGs, immunogenicity and adverse events. This study is intended to replicate the Phase IIb/III study MEA112997. Subjects in MEA115588, who meet all eligibility criteria at screening visit, will enter the run-in period. Those subjects that are not able/eligible to be randomised at the end of the 6 week run-in period will be deemed run-in failures. Subjects will remain on their current maintenance therapy throughout the run-in, double-blind treatment administration and follow-up periods. Subjects who meet the randomisation eligibility criteria will be randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatments every 4 weeks for a total of 8 doses: Mepolizumab 75 miligram (mg) i.v. and placebo SC, or Mepolizumab 100 mg SC and placebo i.v. or Placebo i.v. and placebo SC. Subjects that receive all 8 doses of double-blind treatment, and meet the eligibility criteria for the Open-Label Extension (OLE) Study, will be offered the opportunity to participate in the OLE trial.
