QTc that is immeasurable or >480 msec on screening ECG. (Note: If a subject has a QTc interval >480 msec on screening ECG, the screening ECG may be repeated twice (at least 24 hours apart). The average QTc from the three screening ECGs must be <480 msec in order for the subject to be eligible for the study.) Patients who are receiving a drug that has a risk of Torsades de Pointes are excluded if QTc is ≥ 460 msec. Note: the method for estimating QTc must be consistent between all time points for any individual patient. 18.History of symptomatic peripheral vascular disease within 6 months prior to trial entry. 19.Uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure (BP) >150/90 at screening visit – if screening value is higher than this, then study entry will be permitted if there is evidence documented by a trained healthcare professional of controlled blood pressure during the 4 weeks prior to study entry). 20.Evidence of active bleeding or bleeding diathesis. 21.Recent haemoptysis (greater than or equal to ½ teaspoon of red blood within 8 weeks before first dose of study drug). 22.Patients who are unable or unwilling to withdraw potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, inhibitors of P-glycoprotein or BCRP (see Appendix VI). 23.Prior hypersensitivity to cremophor or known sensitivity to any component of pazopanib. 24.Prior treatment with paclitaxel or pazopanib |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary endpoint is overall survival. Data relating to any patient death that occurs throughout the study period will be captured via the Case Report Form (CRFs), both during the treatment period and active follow up. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary end points of the study are to measure the following for pazopanib in comparison to the current standard treatment, paclitaxel: -Toxicity -Clinical benefit at 12 weeks -Progression free survival time -Clinical benefit at 24 weeks -Quality of Life |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
-Toxicity will be assessed at all study visits while the patient is receiving treatment and until any ongoing toxicity is resolved. -Clinical benefit will be assessed after 12 and 24 weeks on treatment. Assessment will be by CT scans/MRI as appropriate and the tumour response (stable disease (SD), partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) will be reported in accordance with RECIST 1.1. -Progression free survival will be assessed on an ongoing basis, by radiology and/or any other means of idenitification, or the opinion of the investigator. -Quality of Life (QoL)will be assessed continuously throughout the trial. QoL questionnaires will be collected at baseline (Week 1), and at Weeks 9, 17, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85 and 97. |
