Trial summary

This phase II trial studies how well lenvatinib works in treating patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Lenvatinib in Metastatic or Advanced Pheochromocytoma and Paraganglioma

This phase II trial studies how well lenvatinib works in treating patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Lenvatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the anti-tumor activity of lenvatinib (overall response rate; [ORR]) in patients with metastatic or advanced unresectable pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine progression-free survival (PFS). II. To determine overall survival (OS). III. To determine duration of tumor response. IV. To determine safety and tolerability of lenvatinib. V. To assess patient reported quality of life using EuroQol Five-Dimensional Five Level Scale Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. For patients with secretory tumors, to examine changes in plasma metanephrine levels and urinary catecholamine and/or metanephrine levels.

II. For patients with secretory tumors, to examine whether lenvatinib-induced changes in plasma metanephrines and urinary catecholamine and/or metanephrine levels during the first cycle of treatment may be associated with objective tumor response.

III. To examine associations between tumor response and somatic mutational status in archived tumors, or germline mutational status (presence of SDHD, SDHB, RET, VHL, neurofibromatosis type-1).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive lenvatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days for up to 5 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 or 6 months for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Confirmed Tumor Response Rate

    Will be defined as 100% times the number of eligible patients who has started lenvatinib and whose objective tumor status was a complete response or partial response on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart (using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria) divided by the number of eligible patients who has started lenvatinib. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions: 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: Monthly, up to 17 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of Tumor Response

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Every month until off treatment, at off treatment, every 3 months until PD, at PD, every 6 months after PD up to 17 months

  2. Patients Evaluable for Incidence of Adverse Events Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0

    Adverse Events are fully reported in the adverse event section of the results. All adverse events will be graded. For each type of adverse event classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment, the proportion of patients experiencing a severe (grade 3 or higher) adverse event will be noted per cycle. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine adverse event patterns.

    Measured: Monthly, up to 17 months.

  3. Overall Survival Time

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Every month until off treatment, at off treatment, every 3 months until PD, at PD, every 6 months after PD up to 17 months

  4. Progression-free Survival

    Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Every month until off treatment, at off treatment, every 3 months until PD, at PD or up to 17 months

  5. Quality of Life Assessed by EQ-5D and FACT-G

    Descriptive statistics, and scatter plots will form the basis of presentation of these data both overall and by other outcomes (toxicity, response and survival measures). Correlations between the quality of life outcomes and other outcome measures will be carried out by standard parametric and nonparametric tests (e.g. Pearson's and Spearman's rho). Comparison between continuous variables will be made with Wilcoxon rank sum tests, Fisher's exact tests will be used to determine differences between categorical variables, and Log-rank test will be used to test differences between time-to-event ou

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Lenvatinib and Quality-of-Life Assessment in people with Malignant Adrenal Gland Pheochromocytoma and Malignant Paraganglioma, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 17 inclusion and 33 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 20 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 phase mean?

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 14 May 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?

Confirmed Tumor Response Rate (time frame: Monthly, up to 17 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Feb 2024.
