Introduction
Patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) have poor prognosis
No standard second-line therapy
VEGF-driven angiogenesis likely involved in pathogenesis of several STS
subtypes:
• VEGF overexpression in many primary subtypes (Potti et al, 2004)
• VEGF overexpression correlates with survival (Yudoh et al, 2001)
• VEGF serum levels correlate with grade (Hayes et al, 2003)

Introduction
Pazopanib (GW786034) (TKI) targets:
• VEGF-receptors 1-3
• c-kit
• PDGFR α and β
![Page 4: Phase II study of pazopanib in patients with relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcoma](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c8b550346895d913ca7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Objective
To screen whether pazopanib exhibits anti-tumor activity warranting
further exploration in soft tissue sarcomas,
and if so, in which subtypes.
![Page 5: Phase II study of pazopanib in patients with relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcoma](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c8b550346895d913ca7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Study design & regimen
• Phase II: multi-center, open-label, non-randomized study
• Therapeutic regimen:
• Oral pazopanib at 800 mg once daily
• until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
• Four different tumor strata (heterogeneity STS subtypes (a.o. in pathogenesis
and drug sensitivity)):
• adipocytic STS
• synovial STS
• leiomyosarcoma
• other eligible STS subtypes
![Page 6: Phase II study of pazopanib in patients with relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcoma](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c8b550346895d913ca7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Main eligibility criteria
• High or intermediate grade of STS
• Relapsed or refractory disease incurable by surgery or radiotherapy
• Progression (RECIST) within the previous 6 months
• No prior chemotherapy for advanced disease, or no more than 1 combination
therapy or 2 single agents
• Performance status 0–1 and age ≥ 18 years
• Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function
• Adequately controlled blood pressure (baseline < 150/90 mmHg)
![Page 7: Phase II study of pazopanib in patients with relapsed or refractory soft tissue sarcoma](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56812c8b550346895d913ca7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
End points
Primary end point
• Progression-free survival rate (PFR) at 12 weeks after start
• A good endpoint for screening non-cytotoxic drugs
Secondary end points
• Progression-free survival, response (RECIST), toxicity (CTCAE vs 3.0)
and overall survival

Statistical design
Statistical design:
• Simon Optimal two-stages design separately applied to each stratum
(P1: 40%; P0: 20%; α=β=0.1)
• EORTC database (Van Glabbeke EJC 2002):
• active second-line drug PFR at 12 wks: 40%
• inactive second-line drug PFR at 12 wks: 20%
Each cohort:
• Step 1: 17 pts
• if > 3 successes: step 2
• Step 2: 37 pts
• if > 11 successes: warrants further investigation

Conclusions
Pazopanib is well tolerated
Infrequently grade 3/4 toxicity:
hypertension (7.8%, no grade 4)
fatigue (11.3%, 0.7% grade 4)
diarrhea (5%, no grade 4)
pain (7.7%, 0.7% grade 4)
Other relevant toxicities: mild myelosuppression, mild liver toxicity,
hypopigmentation, nausea, and vomiting
Occurrence of diarrhea seems related to cumulative dose
Occurrence of fatigue and hypertension seems independent of
cumulative dose

Conclusions
Pazopanib warrants further investigation Pazopanib warrants further investigation
in soft tissue sarcomasin soft tissue sarcomas
(but not in adipocytic sarcomas)

Conclusions
Pazopanib warrants further investigation in:
• leiomyosarcoma
• synovial sarcoma
• “other eligible sarcoma subtypes”
• but not in the adipocytic sarcomas
