E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase Ib (dose escalation) objectives (a) To propose a recommended dose for Phase II evaluation by: Establishing the maximum tolerated dose of fosbretabulin in combination with pazopanib. (b) Assessing the safety and toxicity profile of fosbretabulin in combination with pazopanib
Randomised Phase II objectives To determine whether combining fosbretabulin with pazopanib produces a significant improvement in progression free survival compared to pazopanib alone. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase Ib (dose escalation) objectives (a) To define the toxicities of the fosbretabulin in combination with Pazopanib (b) To define the biomarker changes on a cohort-by cohort basis.
Randomised Phase II objectives 1. The response rate in the pazopanib and combination arms. 2. To investigate whether biomarkers can demonstrate additivity of the combination in comparison with single agent pazopanib 3. To investigate whether the pre-treatment biomarker signature can predict which patients have a response and a longer progression free survival 4. To further assess the safety and toxicity profile of fosbretabulin and pazopanib in combination.

Patients with recent DVT who have been treated with therapeutic anti-coagulant agents for at least six weeks will be eligible, provided their INR (if taking oral anti-coagulants) has been stable for this period of time. 14. History or clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases or leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, except for individuals who have previously treated CNS metastases, are asymptomatic and have had no requirement for steroids or anti-convulsant medication for six months prior to the first dose of IMP. 15. Clinically significant abnormalities that may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, including but not limited to: a. Bleeding: Active peptic ulcer disease, known intraluminal metastatic lesions with risk of bleeding, Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis); b. Perforation: History of abdominal fistula or large pelvic mass; gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within four weeks prior to first dose of IMP; previous bowel surgery which is judged by the investigator to increase significantly the risk of gastrointestinal complications from trial treatment 16.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
For phase Ib the primary outcome measure is to establish the dose of fosbretabulin and pazopanib for the phase II study. This will be done by assessing toxicities to the combination.
For phase II the primary outcome measure is to determine whether the combination of fosbretabulin and pazopanib gives an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to pazopanib alone. This will be recorded according to CT scans and evaluated using the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.1.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Evaluation of the primary endpoint for phase I will be after the last patient has had at least one month of treatment and when all data is collected and has been queried. This is expected to take approximately 9 months.
Evaluation of the primary endpoint for phase II will be after the last patient has had their last follow-up visit and all data has been collected and queried. This is expected to take around 36 months. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary endpoints for phase Ib are to determine the causality of each adverse event according to CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) and to measure VEGFA, VEGFR2, Ang1, Ang2 and Tie 2 biomarkers by ELISA and enumerating circulating tumour cells.
For phase II the secondary endpoints are to determine patient response by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours)and GCIG (Gynaecologic Cancer Intergroup) CA125 levels and to measure the median progression free survival. Adverse events and biomarkers will also be measured as for phase Ib. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Timepoints for secondary endpoints will be the same as for the primary endpoints. |
