Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well cabozantinib works in treating patients with adrenal cortex cancer that has spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes (locally advanced), or other places in the body (metastatic), and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To estimate progression free survival at 4 months.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Best overall response rate. II. Overall survival (OS). III. Toxicity assessment by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (V)4.0.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
  1. Pharmacokinetics and cabozantinib serum levels to assess correlation with response to therapy.

  2. Steroid hormone biomarkers as markers of disease response. III. Study the effect of cabozantinib on immune markers by obtaining optional biopsy and blood samples collections at baseline, during therapy and at time of progression.

  3. Pharmacogenomics of drug disposition gene variants that potentially influence cabozantinib pharmacokinetics (PK).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive cabozantinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30-37 days.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Progression-free survival (PFS) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria [At 4 months]

      PFS rates will be monitored simultaneously using the Bayesian approach of Thall, Simon, Esty as extended by Thall and Sung. PFS is defined as no disease progression or death within the first 4 months of the proposed treatment.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of adverse events graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) [Up to 30-37 days post-treatment]

      Toxicity defined as any grade >= 3 toxicity that is attributed to cabozantinib. Toxicity rates will be monitored simultaneously using the Bayesian approach of Thall, Simon, Esty as extended by Thall and Sung.

    2. Overall survival (OS) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria [Up to 30-37 days post-treatment]

      Summary statistics will be provided for continuous variables. Frequency tables will be used to summarize categorical variables. The distribution of time-to-event endpoints will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Comparison of time-to-event endpoints by important subgroups will be made using the log-rank test.

    3. Overall response rate (ORR) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria [Up to 30-37 days post-treatment]

      Summary statistics will be provided for continuous variables. Frequency tables will be used to summarize categorical variables. The distribution of time-to-event endpoints will be estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. Comparison of time-to-event endpoints by important subgroups will be made using the log-rank test.
