Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of continuous dosing of sunitinib in association with radiotherapy in patients with non GIST (gastro intestinal stromal tumor) sarcomas who cannot be treated by surgery.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of continuous dosing of sunitinib in association with radiotherapy in patients with non GIST sarcomas who cannot be treated by surgery.

This study is a multicentre, open-label phase I with dose escalation : 2 dose levels.

3-6 patients will be included at each dose level.3-18 patients will be included in the study.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1

Detailed Description

Study design : 2 dose levels

Step 1 : 25 mg once daily Step 2 : 37.5 mg once daily

3-6 patients will be included at each of the sunitinib dose levels, depending on the number of DLTs (dose limiting toxicity) occurring in 14 weeks after start of treatment

DLT is defined as :

any grade 3 or 4 musculoskeletal or cutaneous toxicity within the field of radiation any other toxicity > or = 4

Secondary objectives are :
  • to evaluate the safety with late toxicities

  • to estimate the response rate at 6 months

  • to estimate the progression free survival

  • to evaluate the proportion of patients with an operable tumour after treatment

Exploratory objectives are :
  • to study evolution during treatment of neo-angiogenesis measured by dynamic contrast enhanced-ultrasonography (DCE-US)

  • to study the correlation between clinical response and changes of tumor perfusion measured by DCE-US

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: association sunitinib radiotherapy

Drug: sunitinib
All patients will be treated with sunitinib (2 dose levels) once a day (in the morning) for 6 weeks in association with radiotherapy.Radiotherapy will be realised 1-4h after taking sunitinib. Dose level 1 : 25 mg once daily Dose level 2 : 37.5 mg once daily Authorization to include a patient in the upper step will be given only if the deadline of 14 weeks after the start of treatment of last patient included were strictly respected and depending of number of DLT occuring.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. the number of DLT occurring at each dose level of sunitinib within 14 weeks after the start of treatment [within 14 weeks after the start of treatment]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. the number of early toxicities (within 14 weeks after the beginning of treatment) and late toxicities (after 14 weeks and until 12 months after the start of treatment) using NCI-CTC v3.0 and RTOG-EORTC [within 12 months after the start of treatment]

  2. response rate at 6 months using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) [6 months after the start of treatment]

  3. progression free survival measured from the date of inclusion to the date of first evidence of progression or date of death of any cause, or to the date of last follow up [within 12 months after the start of treatment]

  4. evolution of neo-angiogenesis during treatment measured by DCE-US [within 6 weeks after the start of treatment]

  5. correlation between clinical response and change of tumor perfusion measured by DCE-US [within 12 months after the start of treatment]

  6. proportion of patients operable after treatment [at week 6 after the start of treatment]
