Clinical Trial Summary

Research has shown that anti-angiogenic agents can be effective therapies to treat cancer. Anti-angiogenic agents target the blood vessels required for tumors to grow. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the cell pathways used for this blood vessel growth. When the investigators interfere with the VEGF pathway, the investigators inhibit this blood vessel growth which is required by tumors. One of the study drugs being used, tivozanib (AV-951), selectively interferes with the VEGF pathway. The second study drug being used, everolimus (RAD001) interferes with the mTOR pathway. The mTOR pathway is another pathway involved in blood vessel and tumor cell growth. By combining these two drugs the investigators hope to slow or reverse tumor cell growth in patients whose tumors have become resistant to other therapies for their disease.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective

Phase I

- To determine the safety, tolerability, and maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of everolimus and tivozanib administered in combination to patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors.

Phase II

- At the MTD, to assess progression-free survival associated with everolimus and tivozanib in patients with refractory, metastatic colorectal cancer.

Secondary Objectives

Phase II

- To assess tumor response rate.

- To assess overall survival. ;
