Phase I/II Trial of Cediranib Alone or Cediranib and Lenalidomide in Iodine 131-Refractory Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Description
Detailed Description
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of cediranib (cediranib maleate) plus
lenalidomide. (Phase I) II. Determine the progression-free survival rates of single agent
cediranib in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable differentiated thyroid cancer
(DTC) who have evidence of disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase
II) III. Determine the progression-free survival rates of cediranib in combination with
lenalidomide in patients with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of
disease progression within 12 months of study enrollment. (Phase II) IV. Compare the
progression-free survival curves of single agent cediranib to combination therapy with
cediranib with lenalidomide. (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the response rate of cediranib in combination with lenalidomide in patients
with iodine refractory, unresectable DTC who have evidence of disease progression within 12
months of study enrollment. (Phase I) II. Determine the toxicity, duration of response,
progression free survival, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with cediranib
plus lenalidomide. (Phase I) III. Determine response rates and duration of response, early
tumor size changes, the toxicity, and overall survival in patients with DTC treated with
cediranib or cediranib plus lenalidomide. (Phase II) IV. Determine whether the presence of
v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (B-RAF) or V-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma
(K-RAS) mutations in patients with DTC predict response to cediranib or cediranib plus
lenalidomide. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.
Phase I: Patients receive cediranib maleate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28 and
lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21 or 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM A: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM B: Patients receive cediranib maleate PO and lenalidomide PO as in Phase I.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

- Patients must have evidence of disease progression (20% objective growth of existing tumors by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria) within the last 12 months
- In the Phase I portion, there is no limit on prior systemic therapies (cytotoxic or targeted therapies); however, patients who have discontinued previous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors secondary to adverse events are not eligible; in the Phase 2 portion, patients cannot have received more than 1 prior chemotherapy (cytotoxic or targeted) regimen; prior VEGF-pathway inhibitors or B-RAF inhibitors are permissible

- Serum calcium < 12.0 mg/dL
- Total serum bilirubin below or equal to upper limit of institutional normal
- Patients with hyperbilirubinemia due to Gilbert's syndrome may enroll in the trial
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal
- Creatinine below or equal to upper limit of institutional limits OR creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- Patients must have corrected QT interval (QTc) < 480 msec
- The following groups of patients are eligible provided that they have New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II cardiac function on baseline echocardiogram (ECHO)/multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA):
- Those with a history of class II heart failure who are asymptomatic on treatment
- Those with prior anthracycline exposure
- Those who have received central thoracic radiation that included the heart in the radiotherapy port
