E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
What causes high blood pressure in some patients taking pazopanib as a treatment for cancer? |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Most of the secondary objectives are about examining changes in the way that blood vessels work during pazopanib treatment, and whether these changes might explain how and why high blood pressure is caused.
Does pazopanib cause changes in the way that blood vessel walls work? (Different tests will be done to investigate this, some at the clinic, and some during normal daily activities)
Does pazopanib cause changes in blood circulation in the small vessels of the eye?
Does pazopanib cause changes in blood vessels within tumours, and is there a relationship between any such changes and blood pressure changes, and also how well the drug works?
What changes in levels of chemicals in the blood and urine are seen when pazopanib is taken?
Is there a relationship between the concentration of pazopanib in the blood and how blood pressure is affected?
Are there any genetic (inherited) factors which explain blood pressure changes caused by the drug? |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Patients must provide written informed consent prior to performance of study-specific procedures or assessments, and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow up
2.Patients with the following tumour types where VEGF inhibition would be appropriate therapy will be included in the study: • Renal cell carcinoma • Ovarian carcinoma with a rising CA-125, 2nd or subsequent lines • Ovarian carcinoma with residual disease after chemotherapy in the absence of rising CA-125, 2nd or subsequent lines • Cervical cancer, metastatic or recurrent, and progressing after conventional chemotherapy • Glioblastoma, progressing after conventional chemotherapy • Advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, residual disease post chemotherapy in the absence of progression, 2nd or subsequent lines • Advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma progressing post conventional chemotherapy, 3rd or subsequent lines • Non-small cell lung cancer, 1st or subsequent lines • ErbB2 positive, advanced or metastatic breast cancer, 2nd or subsequent lines • Gemcitabine-refractory pancreatic cancer, 2nd or subsequent lines • Non-cutaneous (ocular or mucosal) melanoma and cutaneous melanoma any line • GI tract 2nd line residual disease or subsequent lines • Small Cell Lung cancer 3rd line • Other solid tumours in which anti-VEGF therapy is judged by the CI to be of possible clinical benefit
3.Must have measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1. A measurable lesion is defined as a lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension with the longest diameter ≥ 20mm using conventional techniques. Patients with ovarian cancer or prostate cancer, where validated tumour markers (CA125 and PSA) are used clinically to monitor response, do not require measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
For the purposes of analysis "study completion" relates to the cardiovascular research aspects of the study, and occurs when the last of the agreed number of patients (determined after the interim analysis) completes the VHyp visit.
The trial as a whole will conclude when the last patient in the Treatment Continuation phase completes the post-treatment follow-up or withdraws. |
