This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vandetanib and everolimus when given together in treating patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Vandetanib and everolimus may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Study sponsor and potential other locations can be found on ClinicalTrials.gov for NCT01582191.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or highest dose level, and the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of vandetanib (a multi-kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], vascular endothelial growth factor receptor [VEGFR] and ret proto-oncogene [RET] inhibitor) when used in combination with everolimus (a mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR] inhibitor) in advanced cancer.
II. Preliminary descriptive assessment of the anti-tumor efficacy of the combination.
III. Preliminary optional assessment of the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic markers of target inhibition and correlates of response.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive vandetanib orally (PO) once daily (QD) and everolimus PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening and radiologic examination throughout the study. Patients may optionally undergo biopsy and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment patients are followed up between 14-28 days at the discretion of the treating physician.
