Brief summary

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if pazopanib when given in combination with topotecan can help to control sarcomas. The safety of this drug combination will also be studied. Pazopanib hydrochloride and topotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine progression free rate at week 12 for patients with soft tissue sarcoma (STS) treated with pazopanib (pazopanib hydrochloride) plus oral topotecan (topotecan hydrochloride). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the overall response rate for patients with STS treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. II. To determine the clinical benefit rate (complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\] + stable disease \[SD\]) for patients with STS treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. III. To determine median progression-free rate (PFR) for patients with STS treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. IV. To evaluate overall survival (OS) for patients with STS treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. V. To assess safety and tolerability for patients treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. VI. To estimate the PFR for patients with osteosarcoma treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. VII. To estimate the PFR for patients with liposarcoma treated with combination pazopanib and topotecan. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the correlation of PFR and OS to levels of soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (sVEGFR2) and phosphatidylinositol-glycan biosynthesis class F (PIGF). OUTLINE: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and topotecan hydrochloride PO on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or until discontinuation per patient preference or physician recommendation. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 or 5 years.

Progression Free Survival at 12 Weeks for Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) Treated With Pazopanib and Oral TopotecanAt 12 weeks from treatment initiationPFS will be defined from the time of enrollment to the study until progression of disease or death from any cause, as assessed by RECIST 1.1 and measured at 12 weeks after treatment initiation for patients with STS. PFS estimates will be calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the Longest Diameter (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.

Complete Response - Disappearance of all target and non target lesions Partial Response - At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD

Time frame: During treatment, assessed at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks and then every 2 cycles where one cycle = 28 days and range of cycles completed by patients 1-33.

Population: Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma treated on study eligible for this endpoint, even if there are major protocol treatment deviations or patients exhibit objective disease progression prior to the end of cycle 1.

Overall Survival (OS) for Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS) Treated With Combination Pazopanib and Topotecan.

OS will be defined from start of study until death from any cause and estimates will be calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods. At time of Kaplan-meier calculations patients included the analysis who have not experienced the event will be censored at the last date of documentation of survival status.

Time frame: During treatment where one cycle = 28 days and range of cycles completed by patients 1-33, then for 2 years (for patients with progression) and 5 years (for patients without progression) following discontinuation of treatment

Population: Only patients with soft tissue sarcoma were eligible for this endpoint. 105 patients enrolled in this trial had soft tissue sarcoma. 1 patient of these 105 was found not to be evaluable.

Progression Free Survival for Patients With Liposarcoma Treated With Combination Pazopanib and Topotecan.

PFS will be defined from the time of enrollment to the study until progression of disease or death from any cause, as assessed by RECIST 1.1. PFS estimates will be calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Patients who did not experiences the event at the time of the calculation were censored from the last documentation of being progression free. Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the Longest Diameter (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. Progression must also involve an increase in size of measurable lesions by at least 5 mm, to minimize the possibility that small changes in a small number of target lesions is falsely interpreted as progression.

Time frame: During treatment, assessed at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 20 weeks and then every 2 cycles where one cycle = 28 days and range of cycles completed by patients 1-33. Then up to 5 years post treatment discontinuation.

Population: Patients with liposarcoma were eligible for this endpoint.

Change in Cytokine Levels

Verification of results of Sleijfer et al and to determine if there is an even earlier correlation that can be detected between levels of these cytokines and PFR as well as OS which may allow us to better predict treatment response early on in therapy.

Time frame: Baseline to 12 weeks

Duration of Best Response in Patients With Liposarcoma Treated With Pazopanib and Topotecan Combination

Duration of response is measured from the time of best response (Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease SD)) as assessed by RECIST v1.1 until time of Progressive Disease (PD). Patients whose best response was PD are removed from this analysis. Patients who are included in the analysis but do not experience the event at the time of the calculation, will be censored at the last known date documented. CR-Disappearance of all target and non target lesions PR-≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD SD-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 PD- ≥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: From time of initial response until progressive disease, up to 60 weeks.

Population: At the time of the analysis 7 events were seen out of a possible 8.
