Brief summary

In order to assess the important issue of the safety of antiangiogenic TKI in geriatric population we set up this project which aims to identify, among clinical, biological, pharmacokinetic data, predictive factors for severe toxicity of antiangiogenic TKI (sunitinib, sorafenib, pazopanib, regorafenib, axitinib) in patients over 70 year-old.

Detailed description

This is a prospective cohort with collection of biological samples, including 300 patients \> 70 year-old treated in multicenter with antiangiogenic TKI regularly approved for metastatic cancers. Data on clinical and biological characteristics of the patient, disease and treatment as well as pharmacogenomics will be centrally collected at the beginning of the treatment. Drug exposure-safety analyses will be performed through assessment of drug through levels (Cmin). Primary endpoint is severe toxicity defined as treatment-related death, hospitalization or disruption of treatment for more than three weeks.

Interventions

OTHERBlood sample

One blood sample before treatment initiation (Cycle 1 Day predose) for pharmacogenomics One blood sample at the end of the firth month of treatment (postdose) for pharmacokinetic

Inclusion criteria

* Age ≥ 70 years * Treatment with pazopanib, regorafenib, sorafenib, sunitinib,axitinib in the context of market authorization * Voluntary signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure.

Rate of Severe ToxicityDuring treatment, up to 12 months or within 4 weeks following definitive treatment discontinuation, an average of 5 months.Severe toxicity was defined as any TKI-related adverse events (AE) leading to any one of the following events: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity (defined as a permanent physical or mental impairmentwhich seriously limits one or more functional capacities such as mobility, communication, self-care, self-direction, or interpersonal skills), unexpected hospitalization, drug discontinuation for more than three weeks or definitive discontinuation. All adverse events (AE) were graded as per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0).

Primary

Rate of Severe Toxicity

Severe toxicity was defined as any TKI-related adverse events (AE) leading to any one of the following events: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity (defined as a permanent physical or mental impairmentwhich seriously limits one or more functional capacities such as mobility, communication, self-care, self-direction, or interpersonal skills), unexpected hospitalization, drug discontinuation for more than three weeks or definitive discontinuation. All adverse events (AE) were graded as per the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0).

Time frame: During treatment, up to 12 months or within 4 weeks following definitive treatment discontinuation, an average of 5 months.

Population: Eligible and assessable population : All eligible patients who have received at least one TKI administration were included in analysis.
