  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infections or psychiatric illnesses/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements are ineligible
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because cediranib and lenalidomide are agents with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects; because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with cediranib or lenalidomide, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with cediranib with or without lenalidomide
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with cediranib or cediranib with lenalidomide; in addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy; appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Cediranib Alone or Cediranib and Lenalidomide in Iodine 131-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer

This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of cediranib maleate when given together with or without lenalidomide and to see how well they work in treating patients with thyroid cancer. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of thyroid cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether cediranib maleate is more effective when given together with lenalidomide in treating thyroid cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cediranib maleate (cediranib) plus lenalidomide. (Phase I) II. Determine the progression-free survival rates of single agent cediranib in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase II) III. Determine the progression-free survival rates of cediranib in combination with lenalidomide in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase II) IV. Compare the progression-free survival curves of single agent cediranib to combination therapy with cediranib with lenalidomide. (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate of cediranib in combination with lenalidomide in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase I) II. Determine the toxicity, duration of response, progression free survival, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase I) III. Determine response rates and duration of response, early tumor size changes, the toxicity, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with cediranib or cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase II) IV. Determine whether the presence of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (B-RAF) or V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma (K-RAS) mutations in patients with DTC predict response to cediranib or cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

Phase I: Patients receive cediranib maleate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 or 1-28. Cycles repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO and lenalidomide PO as in Phase I. NOTE: As of April 10, 2015, patients assigned to this arm are to discontinue lenalidomide and may continue on cediranib alone.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity

    Dose limiting toxicity was defined as any of the following occurring during the first cycle (28 days) of therapy:

    Hematological toxicities:

    • Any grade 4 neutropenia (ANC < 500) lasting more than 5 days
    • Any grade 4 neutropenia with concomitant fever (temperature > 38.5)
    • Any grade 4 neutropenia and sepsis or other severe infection
    • Any grade 4 thrombocytopenia

    Any other grade 3-4 non-hematological adverse drug reactions, except untreated nausea/vomiting, or hypersensitivity reactions.

    Grade 4 hypertension

    Grade 4 proteinuria Delay in the administration of a subsequent dose of cediranib and lenalidomide exceeding 2 weeks, due to an adverse drug reaction

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Progression-free Survival (Phase II Futility Analysis)

    Time from enrollment on study to disease progression or death from any cause. Surviving patients without progression are censored as of the date of the last negative examination. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. This analysis corresponds to the planned futility analysis after 40 events.

    Measured: Assessed up to 3 years

  3. Progression-free Survival (Final Results After Crossover)

    Time from study enrollment until disease progression or death from any cause. Surviving patients without progression are censored as of the date of the last negative examination. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Assessed up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Objective Response Rate

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Assessed up to 3 years

  2. Overall Survival (Final Results After Crossover)

    Time from randomization to death from any cause. Patients who have not died are censored as of the date last known alive.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Percent Change in Tumor Size (Phase II)

    The percent change in tumor size from baseline to the end of cycle 2 (two months). The post-treatment total sum of lengths for a patient with a new lesion at cycle 2 will be scored as 1.2*max(pre-sum, post-sum) to ensure that the appearance of new lesions corresponds to a disease progression per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria. In the event of any early deaths prior to cycle 2, a nonparametric rank sum test will be used with deaths ranked at the extreme end of the distribution.

    Measured: From baseline to 2 months

  4. Serial Measurements of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone and Thyroglobulin

    Thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroglobulin levels

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  5. Presence or Absence of B-RAF and RAS Mutations and Outcomes

    Presence or absence of B-RAF and RAS mutations at baseline--to be correlated with response rates, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cediranib, Cediranib Maleate and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Gland Carcinoma and Refractory Thyroid Gland Follicular Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 33 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose Limiting Toxicity (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01208051.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jul 2021.
