About

This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of Apatinib Mesylate in patients with Head and neck recurrent/metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib Mesylate in patients with ACC.

Enrollment: 68 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenoid cystic carcinoma
2. Recurrent/Metastatic disease documented as having shown progression on a scan (CT, MRI) compared to a previous scan taken at any time in the past. Progression must be documented according to RECIST criteria.
3. Presence of at least one measurable target lesion for further evaluation according to RECIST criteria
4. Disease that is not amenable to surgery, radiation or combined modality therapy with curative intent and was previously treated with chemotherapy
5. 18 years or older
6. Karnofsky score over 60
7. Previous treatment with chemotherapy, targeted agents, loco-regional therapy (e.g. chemoembolization) are permitted providing that toxicity has resolved to < or = grade 1 at study entry and that last treatment was at least 4 weeks prior to baseline assessment.
8. Adequate organ function
9. A patient with the willingness to comply with the study protocol during the study period and capable of complying with it
10. A patient who signed the informed consent prior to the participation of the study and who understands that he or she has a right to withdrawal from participation in the study at any time without any disadvantages.

Exclusion criteria

1. A patient with no measurable disease
2. Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery within 4 weeks prior to study entry except palliative radiotherapy to non-target lesions (within 2 weeks prior to study entry)
3. A patient with previous active or passive immunotherapy
4. A patient with intestinal obstruction or impending obstruction, recent active upper GI bleeding
5. A pregnant or lactating patient
6. A patient of childbearing potential without being tested for pregnancy at baseline or with being tested for positive. (A postmenopausal woman with the amenorrhea period of at least 12 months or longer is considered to have non-childbearing potential)
7. A man or woman of childbearing potential who has no willingness to use a contraceptive measure during the study
8. A patient with history of another malignant disease within past 5 years, except curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of skin and cervical carcinoma in situ.
9. A patient with history of uncontrolled seizures, central nervous system disorder or psychiatric disorders that are considered clinically significant by the investigator that would prohibit the understanding of informed consent or that may be considered to interfere with the compliance of the administration of the study medications.
10. A patient with clinically significant heart disease (e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic coronary artery diseases, cardiac arrhythmia, etc) or myocardial infarction within past 12 months.
11. Ongoing cardiac arrhythmia of grade > or = 2, atrial fibrillation of any grade, or QTc interval > 450 msec for males or > 470 msec for female.
12. A patient with interstitial pneumonia or diffuse symptomatic fibrosis of the lungs
13. A patient with organ transplantation requiring immunosuppressive therapy
