A Phase I Combination of Pazopanib and Carboplatin in Advanced Solid Malignancies


This study is designed to investigate the possibility that use of two similar but distinct
drugs used together in treatment of advanced cancer might prove less toxic than either agent
used alone, because dosages can be reduced for each agent. This is a phase I study that is
designed to measure the frequency and levels of specific side effects when Carboplatin and
Pazopanib are used in combination in advanced cancer patients. The possibility that
anti-tumor activity will occur is also going to be investigated.


Pazopanib has shown a promising anti-cancer activity as a single agent tyrosine kinase
inhibitor. Activity against multiple tumors such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and
neuroendocrine tumors have been documented, and it recently gained FDA approval for the
treatment of metastatic kidney cancer. Also, an impressive activity as a single agent was
recently reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the neoadjuvant setting, where
tumor shrinkage occurred in 86% of patients. Encouraging activity has also been seen in
cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and soft tissue sarcomas. Multi-kinase targeting is an
approach that may prove beneficial in a number of patient populations. In particular cancers
such as breast, colon, pancreas etc., patients represent heterogeneous population of small
groups based on genetic analyses. Some of these populations may benefit when multiple agents
are given which have similar, but distinct targets of action. Dosages and therefore
associated toxicities might be reduced by such an approach.

leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, except for individuals who have previously-treated CNS
metastases, are asymptomatic, and have had no requirement for steroids or
anti-seizure medication for 6 months prior to first dose of study drug.

- Screening with CNS imaging studies (computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance
imaging [MRI]) is required only if clinically indicated or if the subject has a
history of CNS metastases.

gastrointestinal bleeding including, but not limited to:

investigational product including, but not limited to:

- Malabsorption syndrome

6 months:

than or equal to 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of greater than or equal
to 90mmHg]

Note: Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication(s) is permitted prior to
study entry.

- History of cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack (TIA),
pulmonary embolism or untreated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months
Note: Subjects with recent DVT who have been treated with therapeutic
anti-coagulating agents for at least 6 weeks are eligible

- Prior major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to first dose of study drug and/or
presence of any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer (procedures such as catheter
placement not considered to be major)

- Known endobronchial lesions and/or lesions infiltrating major pulmonary vessels

- Hemoptysis within 8 weeks of first dose of study drug

- Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other condition
that could interfere with subject's safety, provision of informed consent, or
compliance with study procedures

- Treatment with any of the following anti-cancer therapies:

- Radiation therapy, surgery or tumor embolization within 14 days prior to the first
dose of pazopanib OR

- Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, investigational therapy or hormonal
therapy within 14 days or five half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to
the first dose of pazopanib

- Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is greater than Grade 1
and/or that is progressing in severity, except alopecia
