Pazopanib in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed or Locally and/or Regionally Recurrent Breast Cancer That Can Be Removed By Surgery

Stopped early · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Male Breast Carcinoma, Recurrent Breast Carcinoma, Stage IA Breast Cancer, Stage IB Breast Cancer, Stage IIA Breast Cancer, Stage IIB Breast Cancer, Stage IIIA Breast Cancer

In brief

This pilot clinical trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with breast cancer that is newly diagnosed or has come back at or near the same place as the original tumor and can be removed by surgery. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by preventing the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of tissue that needs to be removed.

• Urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) of less than or equal to 1 as assessed in a random or spot urine sample
• Patients must have blood pressure (BP) no greater than 140 mmHg (systolic) and 90 mmHg (diastolic) for eligibility; initiation or adjustment of BP medication is permitted prior to study entry provided that the average of three BP readings at a visit prior to enrollment is less than 140/90 mmHg
• Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of GW786034 (pazopanib) will be determined following review of their case by the Principal Investigator

• Any concomitant medications that are associated with a risk of QTc prolongation and/or Torsades de Pointes should be discontinued or replaced with drugs that do not carry these risks, if possible; patients who must take medications with a risk or possible risk of Torsades de Pointes should be watched carefully for symptoms of QTc prolongation, such as syncope

You may not qualify if…

• Patients with locally advanced breast cancer who are not candidates for surgical resection at time of initial evaluation, this may include patients with locally advanced disease such as:
• Tumor of any size with direct extension to chest wall or skin (T4a-c)
• Inflammatory breast cancer (T4d)
• Patients with evidence of metastatic disease
• Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents
• History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to GW786034 (pazopanib) or other agents used in the study are excluded
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
• Patients with a baseline QTc >= 480 msecs or other significant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities are ineligible
• Patients with poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher, or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher) are ineligible
• Certain medications that act through the cytochrome p 450 (CYP450) system are specifically prohibited in patients receiving GW786034 (pazopanib); certain other agents should be used with caution
• Patients with any condition (e.g., gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for intravenous [IV] alimentation, prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, or active peptic ulcer disease) that impairs their ability to swallow and retain GW786034 (pazopanib) tablets are excluded

• History of venous thrombosis in last 12 weeks
• Class III or IV heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system; a patient who has a history of class II heart failure and is asymptomatic on treatment may be considered eligible
• Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements
• Pregnant women are excluded from this study; procedures affecting absorption, or active peptic ulcer disease) that impairs their ability to swallow and retain GW786034 (pazopanib) tablets are excluded
