Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this Phase II trial will be to define the activity of a VEGF inhibitor

bevacizumab, HER1/HER2 inhibitor pertuzumab, and sandostatin for patients with

advanced neuroendocrine cancers. In particular, the efficacy of bevacizumab and

pertuzumab treatment is of great interest. The primary endpoint of this trial will be

response rate. Toxicity and progression-free survival will be obtained and evaluated.

Description:

• To determine overall response rate of patients with low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and sandostatin LAR®.

• To determine the disease control rate (objective response + stable disease), time to treatment progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer when treated with bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® treatment.

• To define the toxicity and safety of the combination of bevacizumab, pertuzumab and Sandostatin LAR® when used in patients with advanced low grade neuroendocrine cancer.

heart failure (CHF).

16. Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair, or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) <=6 months prior to Day 1 of treatment.

17. History of stroke or transient ischemic attack <=6 months prior to beginning treatment.

18. Any prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.

19. History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation <=6 months prior to Day 1 of beginning treatment.

20. Concurrent severe, intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

21. Any known positive test for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus or acute or chronic hepatitis B infection.

22. Mental condition that would prevent patient comprehension of the nature of, and risk associated with, the study.

23. Use of any non-approved or investigational agent <=28 days prior to administration of the first dose of study drug. Patients may not receive any other investigational or anti-cancer treatments while participating in this study.

24. Past or current history of neoplasm other than the entry diagnosis with the exception of treated non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or other cancers cured by local therapy alone and a DFS >=5 years.

25. Infection requiring IV antibiotics.

Intervention

Drug:
• Bevacizumab
15 mg/kg IV Day 1. The first dose should be administered over 90 minutes. If no adverse reactions occur after the initial dose, the second dose should be administered over a minimum of 60 minutes. If no adverse reactions occur after the second dose, all subsequent doses should be administered over a minimum of 30 minutes. Bevacizumab will be infused prior to pertuzumab.
• Pertuzumab
840 mg IV loading dose infused over 60 minutes. The loading dose is given on Cycle 1, Day 1 or as below. Subsequent doses of pertuzumab are 420 mg IV. If the patient tolerates the initial infusion over 60 minutes, the patient may receive subsequent infusions over 30 minutes. Otherwise, pertuzumab should be infused over 60 minutes. Patients should be observed for 30 minutes after completing the pertuzumab infusion. If a patient misses a dose of pertuzumab for 1 cycle (i.e., 2 sequential cycles or administrations are 6 weeks or more apart), a re-loading dose (840 mg) of pertuzumab should be given. If re-loading pertuzumab is administered, subsequent doses of 420 mg will then be given every 3 weeks, starting 3 weeks later.
• Sandostatin LAR® Depot
30 mg will be given every 28 days by IM injection. The dose of sandostatin may be increased, at the discretion of the treating physician, if necessary to control symptoms related to tumor secretion of vasoactive peptides.
