Dabrafenib and Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignant Tumors
Dabrafenib and Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignant Tumors
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dabrafenib and pazopanib
 hydrochloride when given together in treating patients with advanced malignant tumors.
 Dabrafenib and pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of
 the enzymes needed for cell growth
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

 I. To assess the safety and tolerability of GSK2118436 (dabrafenib) given with pazopanib
 (pazopanib hydrochloride) as well as determining the maximum tolerated dosing regimen in
 patients with BRAF mutated advanced malignant tumors.

 SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

 I. Evaluate pharmacokinetics of the two study drugs and identify potential drug-drug
 interactions.

 II. Determine pharmacogenomics with microarray testing. III. Perform genotyping of tumors and
 if objective tumor response rates are identified.

 IV. Assess objective tumor response rates.

 OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

 Patients receive dabrafenib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 (once daily on day 1
 and BID on days 3-28 of course 1), and pazopanib hydrochloride PO once daily (QD) on days
 1-28 (days 2-28 of course 1). Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease
 progression or unacceptable toxicity.

 After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

 leukemia, ANC >= 1 X 10^9/L is required

 -  Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL (5.6 mmol/L); for pts with hairy cell leukemia, hemoglobin >= 8
 g/dL is required

 -  Platelets >= 100 X 10^9/L; for pts with hairy cell leukemia, platelets >= 75 X 10^9/L
 is required

 -  International normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.2 X upper limit of normal (ULN); subjects
 receiving anticoagulant therapy with warfarin are not eligible

 -  Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) =< 1.2 X ULN

 -  Total bilirubin =< 1.5 X ULN; concomitant elevations in bilirubin and aspartate
 aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) above 1.0 x ULN are not
 permitted

 -  ALT and AST =< 2.5 X ULN; concomitant elevations in bilirubin and AST/ALT above 1.0 x
 ULN are not permitted

 -  Serum creatinine =< 1.5 x ULN (=< 133 umol/L)

 -  Urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPC; appropriate) < 1; if UPC >= 1, then a 24-hour
 urine protein must be assessed; subjects must have a 24-hour urine protein value < 1 g
 to be eligible; use of urine dipstick for renal function assessment is not acceptable

 -  Left ventricular ejection fraction >= institutional lower limit of normal

 -  The effects of dabrafenib on the developing human fetus are unknown; pazopanib belongs
 to the pregnancy risk factor group D (adverse effects were observed in animal
 studies); for these reasons, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to
 use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence)
 prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman
 become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating
 in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated or
 enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the
 study, for the duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of
 dabrafenib and pazopanib administration

 -  Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document

 -  Ability to swallow oral medication and keep a pill diary

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for
 nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study or those who have not
 recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks prior to
 study enrollment

 -  Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

 -  Patients with symptomatic, untreated brain metastases; patients who are on a stable
 dose of corticosteroids for more than 1 month or off corticosteroids for 2 weeks can
 be enrolled; enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs are not permitted; screening with
 central nervous system (CNS) imaging (computerized tomography [CT] or magnetic
 resonance imaging [MRI]) is required only if clinically indicated

 -  Patients with a known history of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency;
 patients with G6PD deficiency are excluded from clinical trials because they may
 develop nonimmune hemolytic anemia in response to dabafenib, which contains a
 sulfonamide, a potential risk factor for subjects with this deficiency

 -  Patients taking prohibited medications within 7 days of entering study will be
 excluded due to potential serious interactions with dabafenib; patients taking
 therapeutic doses of warfarin will not be allowed on the study due to potential drug
 interactions (patient on prophylactic low dose warfarin are allowed)

 -  Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
 infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
 arrhythmia or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
 study requirements

 -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study because dabrafenib is an investigational
 agent with unknown teratogenicity and because pazopanib belongs to pregnancy risk
 factor group D (adverse effects were observed in animal studies); because there is an
 unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to
 treatment of the mother with dabrafenib and pazopanib, breastfeeding should be
 discontinued if the mother is treated with these agents

 -  Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral
 therapy are excluded because of possible pharmacokinetic interactions of highly active
 anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) with dabrafenib and pazopanib; 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

 -  Poorly controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure [BP] >= 140 and/or
 diastolic BP >= 90) measured on more than one occasion and not responsive to
 antihypertensives; Note: Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication(s) is
 permitted prior to study entry and during study if required; BP must be re-assessed on
 two occasions separated by a minimum of 1 hour; on each of these occasions, the mean
 systolic (S)BP/diastolic (D)BP values (of 3 readings) must be < 140/90 mmHg in order
 for a subject to be eligible for the study

 -  Prolongation of heart rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) > 480 msecs (using Bazett's
 formula)
