Clinical Trial Summary

This is an open-label, four-arm, Phase I, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the optimal tolerated regimen (OTR) of pazopanib in combination with epirubicin or doxorubicin in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts of 3 to receive escalating doses of pazopanib and epirubicin or doxorubicin. Dose escalation schemas for each study arm are described in the protocol. For each arm, the OTR will be defined as the highest dose combination of the agents where no more than one out of six patients experiences a dose-limiting toxicity. Twelve additional patients in each arm will be studied with the OTR to evaluate toxicity and pharmacokinetics. This will allow an assessment of potential drug-drug interactions. Antitumor activity will be assessed using RECIST criteria.

• Use of an investigational agent, including an investigational anti-cancer agent, within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to the first dose of study drug.

• Is now undergoing and/or has undergone within 28 days immediately prior to first dose of study drug, any cancer therapy (major surgery, investigational agent, tumor embolization, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biological therapy, or hormonal therapy).

• Clinically assessed as having inadequate venous access for PK sampling.

• Lactating and pregnant women should discontinue lactation prior to first use of study drug and refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for 14 days after final dose.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Optimum tolerated regimen (OTR) for each combination regimen in each arm of the study.OTR determined by evaluation of AEs and change in lab values.OTR defined as highest dosing regimen that results in dose limiting toxicity in no more than 1 of 6 subject		Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Secondary	Safety assessments, including routine physical exam findings, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (chemistry and hematology to include coagulation factors), clinical monitoring and/or observation, and adverse event reporting.		Safety assessment timing is noted on the Time and Events Table. Subjects will continue on the study until disease progression occurs or one of the discontinuation criteria is met up to approximately 48 months.
Secondary	Safety and tolerability endpoints will include cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction) monitored by either MUGA or ECHO. A 12-lead ECG will also be monitored.
