Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the PSA response rate in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer treated with pazopanib hydrochloride with vs without bicalutamide.

Secondary

  1. Determine objective tumor response in patients with measurable disease treated with these regimens.
  2. Determine the median time to progression in patients treated with these regimens.
  3. Determine the safety and tolerability of these regimens in these patients.
  4. Determine the median duration of PSA response in patients treated with this regimen.
  5. Determine the steady state levels of these regimens in these patients.
  6. Investigate the correlation between prior exposure to bicalutamide and non-steroidal anti-androgens with response and survival outcomes.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer


  • Must have received prior hormonal therapy, including either medical (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonist) or surgical (orchiectomy) castration
    • Castrate level of testosterone (< 50 ng/dL)
    • Patients treated with LHRH agonists must continue or restart this therapy


  • Must have radiological documentation of either measurable or non-measurable disease


  • Must show documented progression of prostate cancer while on hormonal therapy as indicated by PSA increase
    • Rising PSA is defined as ≤ 2 consecutive rises in PSA taken ≥ 1 week and ≤ 2 months apart


  • PSA ≥ 5 ng/mL


  • No known brain metastases


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Recovered from all prior therapy
  • Prior neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy allowed
  • More than 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) or radiotherapy
  • At least 4 weeks since prior antiandrogens
  • At least 4 weeks since prior surgery
  • No prior bicalutamide therapy lasting > 3 months in duration
  • Concurrent steroids allowed if no change in steroid dosage within the past 4 weeks
  • No other concurrent investigational agents
  • No concurrent therapeutic warfarin
    • Concurrent low molecular weight heparin or prophylactic low-dose warfarin allowed
  • No concurrent combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-positive patients

Patient Characteristics:

  • Proteinuria ≤ 1+ on 2 consecutive dipsticks taken ≥ 1 week apart
  • QTc < 500 msec
  • No significant ECG abnormalities
  • No poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] > 150 mm Hg or diastolic BP > 90 mm Hg)
  • No condition (e.g., gastrointestinal [GI] tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation; prior surgical procedures affecting absorption; or active peptic ulcer disease) that impairs the ability to swallow and retain pazopanib hydrochloride tablets
  • No serious or nonhealing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
  • No abdominal fistula, GI perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within the past 28 days
  • No cerebrovascular accident within the past 6 months
  • No myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmia, admission for unstable angina, cardiac angioplasty, or stenting within the past 12 weeks
  • No venous thrombosis within the past 12 weeks
  • No NYHA class III-IV heart failure
    • Patients with a history of NYHA class II heart failure who are asymptomatic on treatment are eligible
  • No concurrent uncontrolled illness, including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection
  • No psychiatric illness or social situation that would preclude study compliance

Outline

This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral pazopanib hydrochloride once daily on days 1-28.


  • Arm II: Patients receive oral pazopanib hydrochloride once daily on days 1-28. Patients also receive oral bicalutamide once daily on days 8-28 of course 1 and on days 1-28 in all subsequent courses.


Courses in both arms repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood is collected at baseline, on days 8, 15, and 22 of course 1, and on day 1 of courses 2 and 3. Samples are analyzed for pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
