About
This phase II trial is studying how well giving cediranib maleate together with combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with advanced biliary cancers. Cediranib maleate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving cediranib maleate together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the response rate to AZD2171 (cediranib maleate) and modified folinic acid-fluorouracil-oxaliplatin-6 regimen (FOLFOX 6) in subjects with advanced biliary cancers.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine overall assessment of toxicity of AZD2171 and modified FOLFOX6. II. To determine the progression-free survival of subjects with advanced biliary cancers treated with AZD2171 and modified FOLFOX6.
III. To determine overall survival of subjects with advanced biliary cancers treated with AZD2171 and modified FOLFOX6.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive cediranib maleate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-14 and modified FOLFOX6 comprising oxaliplatin intravenously (IV) over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours, and fluorouracil IV over 46 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

-
No patients with untreated brain metastases
-
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky ≥ 60%)
-
Life expectancy of greater than 12 weeks

-
Creatinine within normal institutional limits OR calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
-
No patients with proteinuria not meeting the criteria below; urine sample must be tested by urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio or by urinalysis method within 1 week of starting study treatment; depending upon the testing method used, the following criteria must be met:
- UPC ratio must be < 1.0; if UPC ratio is ≥ 1.0, a 24-hour urine specimen must be collected and must demonstrate < 1 g of protein

-
No patients with other active invasive cancers except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix
- History of prior cancer is allowed as long as there has been no evidence of disease within the past 5 years
-
No patients with mean corrected QT interval (QTc) > 480 msec (with Bazett's correction) in screening electrocardiogram or history of familial long QT syndrome
-
No patients with uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) ≥ 140 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mm Hg, with or without anti-hypertensive medication or history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
- Patients with initial BP elevations are eligible once their BP is controlled to above parameters
-
No patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:

- History of or symptomatic congestive heart failure requiring chronic medical therapy
- NYHA class III or IV heart disease
- Unstable angina pectoris within 180 days prior to starting study treatment
- Myocardial infarction within 180 days prior to study treatment
- Gastroduodenal ulcer(s) determined by endoscopy to be active within 180 days prior to study treatment

- Known bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
- Paresthesias, peripheral sensory neuropathy > gr. 1 per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4, or peripheral motor neuropathy ≥ gr. 2 per CTCAE v.4
- Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
-
No patients with history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 180 days prior to study treatment, symptomatic peripheral ischemia; history of arterial thrombotic event within 180 days prior to study treatment; gastrointestinal (GI) perforation within 180 days prior to study treatment
-
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
-
Patients who are chemotherapy naive unless chemotherapy was given as adjuvant post-surgical treatment and at least 6 months have elapsed since adjuvant chemotherapy
-
No patients who have had major surgical procedures, open biopsies, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to study treatment
-
Chemotherapy for prior cancer is permitted
-
Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or with the potential to affect the activity or PK of AZD2171 will be determined following review of their case by the Principal Investigator
- Efforts should be made to switch patients with brain metastases who are taking enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant agents to other medications
-
Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents nor have participated in an investigational trial within the past 30 days
