E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of Sunitinib in patients with metastatic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas in terms of PFS |
Determinare il tasso di sopravvivenza a un anno in assenza di progressione (Progression-Free Survival, PFS) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The overall survival (OS) and objective response (ORR) according to RECIST Criteria. To characterize the safety profile of Sunitinib To evaluate HIF-1 expression (optional study) To evaluate the effects of treatment with Sunitinib on circulating plasma levels of VEGF and their correlation with the response to treatment (optional study) |
Tasso di risposta oggettiva (Objective Response Rate, ORR): risposta parziale+risposta completa (PR+CR) confermata dal punto di vista radiologico secondo i criteri RECIST Sopravvivenza globale (Overall Survival, OS) Profilo di sicurezza e tollerabilità della terapia proposta. Studio opzionale Valutare l’espressione delle mutazioni somatiche e germinali dei geni SDHB (succinate dehydrogenase, subunit B) e VHL (Von Hippel Lindau), solitamente associati ad upregulation di HIF-1 e ad un downstream del segnale VEGF-relato, bersaglio terapeutico del sunitinib; con l’intento di individuare dei target biologici predittivi di risposta al trattamento in studio. Valutare i livelli circolanti di VEGF prima e durante il trattamento. Valutare la relazione tra i livelli circolanti di VEGF e la risposta al trattamento. |

Title (Titolo, in inglese): Clinical and Biological Phase II study of Sunitinib in patients with unresectable and/or metastatic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas
Objectives (Obiettivi, in inglese): To evaluate HIF-1 expression. To evaluate the effects of treatment with sunitinib on circulationg plasma levels of VEGF and their correlation to treatment response.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Age >=18 years Patients with histological diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma and either evidence of metastases or unresectability Measurable lesions according to RECIST criteria ECOG Performance Status 0-2 Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks Adequate cardiac, hepatic, renal, and bone marrow function |
Età >= 18 anni. I soggetti devono avere conferma istologica di feocromocitoma/paraganglioma. Malattia tumorale parametrabile (in accordo ai criteri RECIST). Performance Status secondo ECOG 0-2. É ammesso l’arruolamento di pazienti che non hanno ricevuto nessun trattamento per la malattia avanzata o pazienti pretrattati con chirurgia, chemioterapia e terapia radiorecettoriale. Aspettativa di vita superiore a tre mesi. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Major surgical procedure within 28 days prior to study treatment start Evidence of current central nervous system (CNS) metastases or spinal cord compression. Other malignancies within the last 5 years (other than curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or in situ carcinoma of the cervix, meningiomas) Clinically significant cardiovascular disease. |
Interventi chirurgici effettuati entro 28 giorni prima dell’inizio del trattamento. Evidenza di metastasi a livello del SNC o di compressione midollare. Altre malattie neoplastiche diagnosticate nei precedenti 5 anni (ad eccezione dei basoteliomi cutanei, del carcinoma in situ della cervice uterina e dei meningiomi). Malattie cardiovascolari clinicamente significative |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy end point is one year progression free survival (PFS). To test a gain in PFS from 30%, representing insufficient treatment activity, to 50%, which is the therapeutic target, the Simon’s optimal two stage design requires the assessment of 22 patients at stage I and 46 patients at stage II. This according to a 10% Type I and Type II error probability levels. |
L’end point principale dello studio è rappresentato dall’assenza di progressione di malattia (progression free survival, PFS) ad un anno dall’inizio del trattamento. Per saggiare un incremento di PFS dal 30% (scarsa efficacia) al 50% (efficacia soddisfacente), il disegno a due stadi ottimale di Simon richiede una numerosità massima di 46 pazienti, avendo fissato al 10% le probabilità di errore di I e di II tipo. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary efficacy end point is one year progression free survival (PFS). |
L’end point principale dello studio è rappresentato dall’assenza di progressione di malattia (progression free survival, PFS) ad un anno dall’inizio del trattamento. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR) will be considered as secondary end points. |
La risposta obiettiva e la sopravvivenza globale (OS, tempo intercorrente tra l’inizio del trattamento e la morte per qualunque causa) saranno considerati come end points secondari. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At the end of the study (48 months) |
Fine dello studio (dopo 48 mesi) |
