Brief summary

Background: * Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is common in people with a genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). * Vandetanib is an experimental drug that blocks a defective protein receptor (rearranged during transfection (RET) receptor) found on the surface of cancer cells in people with MEN. It is thought that this protein is a primary cause of MTC in people with MEN. Objectives: * To study the activity of Vandetanib in children and adolescents with MEN-related MTC by measuring the change in tumor size, in blood levels of proteins produced the tumor (calcitonin and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and in tumor-related diarrhea. * To determine the safety and tolerability of Vandetanib in children and adolescents. * To study how the body handles Vandetanib in children and adolescents. * To determine the effect of Vandetanib on the survival of children and adolescents with MTC. Eligibility: -Children and adolescents 5 to 18 years of age with MTC whose tumor cannot be surgically removed or has grown back after treatment or has metastasized (spread beyond the thyroid gland). Design: * Patients take Vandetanib once a day in 28-day cycles. The first patients enrolled in the study are started on a low dose of Vandetanib to determine tolerability. * Patients have periodic blood tests, electrocardiograms, and blood pressure measurements to look for side effects of Vandetanib. * Blood tests and imaging scans (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), bone and octreoscan) are done every 8 weeks for the first 32 weeks of treatment and then every 16 weeks for the duration of the treatment period. * Patients who have tumor-related diarrhea keep a daily record of the number and consistency of bowel movements.

Detailed description

BACKGROUND: Hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), which is a rare calcitonin-producing tumor arising from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid, is often a manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A and 2B and can be detected in children as young as five years in MEN 2A and one year in those with MEN 2B MEN results from an activating mutation in the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene resulting in a constitutively activated receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) Vandetanib is an orally bioavailable multi-RTK inhibitor that blocks the mutant RET gene product and has anti-tumor activity in adults with hereditary MTC OBJECTIVES: To assess the activity of vandetanib in children and adolescents with hereditary MTC using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (primary endpoint), tumor biomarkers and tumor-related diarrhea To assess the safety and tolerance of vandetanib in children and adolescents at a dose equivalent to the recommended dose in adults To assess the pharmacokinetics of vandetanib at steady state in children and adolescents Secondary objectives include monitoring progression-free and overall survival, assessing RET, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR) and somatostatin receptor expression in archival tumor tissue, assessing changes in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mutations in RET in tumor tissue vs germ line in PBMC and after treatment; assessing gene expression and gains/losses of DNA in tumor tissue at baseline, during treatment and at the time of progression; establishment of pediatric MTC cell lines sensitive and resistant cells lines in vitro ELIGIBILITY: Children and adolescents 5 to 18 years of age (inclusive) with unresectable, recurrent or metastatic hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma Measurable disease by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) DESIGN: Vandetanib will be administered as a once daily dose, continuously (1 cycle equals 28 days) at a dose of 150 mg,m(2), per day To ensure the safety of the adult dose in children and adolescents, a limited intra-patient dose escalation will be performed in the initial cohort of patients, with older patients (13 to18 yrs) being studied before younger patients (5 to12 yrs) Patients wil be enrolled at a dose of 100mg, m(2), per day (180 mg per day in adults) for two 28 day cycles and escalated to 150 mg, m(2), per day (270 mg, per day in adults) on cycle 3, if dose limiting toxicity was not observed at the lower dose. If the 150mg, m(2), per day dose level is tolerable on cycles 3 and 4, all subsequent patients will be enrolled at this dose level Pharmacokinetics of vandetanib will be studied at steady state at the end of cycle 2 and trough levels will be obtained prior to the second dose on cycle 1, and on day 1 of cycles 2-5. Responsible of measurable tumors will be assessed by RECIST. Biomarker and clinical response will also be monitored. Twenty one patients will be studied to determine if the response rate in children and adolescents with hereditary MTC is consistent with the 28 percent objective response rate in adults

Diagnosis: Hereditary (Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2A (MEN 2A) or Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B (MEN 2B) medullary thyroid carcinoma (histologically confirmed) that is unresectable, recurrent or metastatic. Participants must have previously had a characteristic germline mutation in the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene documented. Results of the germline mutation testing will be obtained from the referring institution. Participants must have measurable disease as defined in Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) as the presence of at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension with longest diameter of at least 20 mm using conventional techniques or at least 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan. Superficial (easily palpable) lymph nodes will be considered measurable. Participants must be able to take one of the oral formulations of vandetanib. Prior therapy: There are no standard chemotherapy regimens known to be effective for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Therefore, previously untreated participants are eligible if their tumor(s) are not surgically resectable. Participants must be at least 4 weeks from prior surgical procedures and surgical incisions must be healed. Participants must have had their last fraction of external beam radiation therapy at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response Defined as a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)Patients were evaluated for response after every 2 cycles x 4 (prior to cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) and then after every 4 cycles X 1 (prior to cycle 13) and then every 6 cycles (prior to cycle 19, 25, 31, etc). Response was followed for an median of 59 monResponse was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Complete Response is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Stable Disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. Progressive Disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)During Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, approximately 56 daysThe MTD is the highest dose of Vandetanib tolerated at which a participant experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first two cycles of drug.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Change in Calcitonin (CTN) Biomarker Response After Cycle 1Cycle 1 (28 days)Blood was collected from participants and measured with an Chemiluminescence immunoassay. Calcitonin upper limit of normal is \<10 pg/mL. A decline in CTN is defined as a ≥50% increase (e.g. tumor growth or progression) in the CTN level after treatment in cycle 1.
Number of Participants With Serious and Non-serious Adverse Events Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v3.0)Date treatment consent signed to date off study, approximately 142 months and 8 days.Here is the number of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v3.0). A non-serious adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence. A serious adverse event is an adverse event or suspected adverse reaction that results in death, a life-threatening adverse drug experience, hospitalization, disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect or important medical events that jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the previous outcomes mentioned.
Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC 0-24h)Cycle 1, Pre-dose and then 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24 hour post dose.The AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption.
Number of Participants With an Increase or Decrease in Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Biomarker ResponseEvery 2 cycles x 4 (prior to cycles 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9), prior to cycle 13, and then every 6 cycles (prior to cycle 19, 25, 31, etc). Patients were followed for response for a median of 59 months.Blood was collected from participants and measured with an Axsym Analyzer then Immulite CEA method and assessed by the following response criteria. Partial Response (PR) is a ≥50% decrease in the CEA level relative to the baseline level, confirmed with a repeat CEA level at least 4 weeks apart. Progression (P) is a ≥50% increase in the CEA relative to the prior value on 2 consecutive measurements at least 4 weeks apart. The patient must have been taking vandetanib for 4 weeks prior to the first measurements and must have continued to take the drug through the time that the second measurement was drawn. Stable (S) is a \<50% increase or decrease in CEA level relative to the baseline level.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)up to Cycle 3 (each Cycle is 28 days)Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity (H-DLT) is: Neutrophil count below 1,000/μL (grade 3) on 2 consecutive measurements drawn at least 72 hours apart OR a single neutrophil count below 500/μL (grade 4); Platelet count below 50,000/μL (grade 3) on 2 consecutive measurements drawn at least 72 hours apart OR a single platelet count below 25,000/μL (grade 4); A platelet transfusion administered when platelet count is below 50,000/μL is dose limiting thrombocytopenia, unless the transfusion is being administered for perioperative coverage; Grade 3 or 4 decrease in hemoglobin that can be corrected to at least 8.0 g/dl (grade 2) by transfusion of red blood cells is not a dose-limiting toxicity. Grade 3 or 4 hemolysis is a dose-limiting toxicity if it is judged to be vandetanib-related. Non-Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity is any grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity, with some exceptions such as Grade 3 nausea that is controlled by symptomatic treatment with anti-emetics.

Outcome results

Primary

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

The MTD is the highest dose of Vandetanib tolerated at which a participant experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first two cycles of drug.

Time frame: During Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, approximately 56 days

Primary

Overall Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response Defined as a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

Response was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Complete Response is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Stable Disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. Progressive Disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Time frame: Patients were evaluated for response after every 2 cycles x 4 (prior to cycles 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) and then after every 4 cycles X 1 (prior to cycle 13) and then every 6 cycles (prior to cycle 19, 25, 31, etc). Response was followed for an median of 59 mon

Population: This is the analysis of all 17 patients across dosing groups. Because dosing for each patient was adjusted over time based on toxicity and often patients did not have a radiographic response until they had a number of cycles of treatment, we combined all dosing groups when calculating response rate.

Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC 0-24h)

The AUC is a measure of the serum concentration of the drug over time. It is used to characterize drug absorption.

Time frame: Cycle 1, Pre-dose and then 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 24 hour post dose.

Population: All 11 subjects who had PK analysis were receiving a dose of 100mg/m\^2/dose at the time that the PK analysis was done. All participants are grouped together because this data was performed during cycle 1 and was not collected for the patient who received 150mg/m\^2 during cycle 1.

Number of Participants With an Increase or Decrease in Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) Biomarker Response

Blood was collected from participants and measured with an Axsym Analyzer then Immulite CEA method and assessed by the following response criteria. Partial Response (PR) is a ≥50% decrease in the CEA level relative to the baseline level, confirmed with a repeat CEA level at least 4 weeks apart. Progression (P) is a ≥50% increase in the CEA relative to the prior value on 2 consecutive measurements at least 4 weeks apart. The patient must have been taking vandetanib for 4 weeks prior to the first measurements and must have continued to take the drug through the time that the second measurement was drawn. Stable (S) is a \<50% increase or decrease in CEA level relative to the baseline level.

Time frame: Every 2 cycles x 4 (prior to cycles 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9), prior to cycle 13, and then every 6 cycles (prior to cycle 19, 25, 31, etc). Patients were followed for response for a median of 59 months.

Population: Patients with CEA \<2x upper limit of normal at baseline were not evaluable for this measure.

Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity (H-DLT) is: Neutrophil count below 1,000/μL (grade 3) on 2 consecutive measurements drawn at least 72 hours apart OR a single neutrophil count below 500/μL (grade 4); Platelet count below 50,000/μL (grade 3) on 2 consecutive measurements drawn at least 72 hours apart OR a single platelet count below 25,000/μL (grade 4); A platelet transfusion administered when platelet count is below 50,000/μL is dose limiting thrombocytopenia, unless the transfusion is being administered for perioperative coverage; Grade 3 or 4 decrease in hemoglobin that can be corrected to at least 8.0 g/dl (grade 2) by transfusion of red blood cells is not a dose-limiting toxicity. Grade 3 or 4 hemolysis is a dose-limiting toxicity if it is judged to be vandetanib-related. Non-Hematologic Dose-Limiting Toxicity is any grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity, with some exceptions such as Grade 3 nausea that is controlled by symptomatic treatment with anti-emetics.

Time frame: up to Cycle 3 (each Cycle is 28 days)
