About

This is an open-label phase I study in which dovitinib is given in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone. Dovitinib dose escalation is planned in order to determine its maximum tolerated dose when given in this combination.

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

• Subjects with another primary malignancy within 3 years prior to starting study drug, with the exception of adequately treated in-situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix, or skin cancer

• Subjects who have received the last administration of an anticancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy and monoclonal antibodies (but excluding nitrosurea, mitomycin-C, targeted therapy and radiation) ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from the side effects of such therapy

• Subjects who have had radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting study drug in the case of localized radiotherapy (e.g. for analgesic purpose or for lytic lesions at risk of fracture), or who have not recovered from radiotherapy toxicities

• Subjects who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or subjects who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ≤ 1 week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury

• Subjects with any of the following concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions which could compromise participation in the study:

  • Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any of the following:

    1. History or presence of serious uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
    2. Clinically significant resting bradycardia
    3. LVEF assessed by 2-D echocardiogram (ECHO) < 50% or lower limit of normal (whichever is higher) or multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA) < 45% or lower limit of normal (whichever is higher).

    5. Uncontrolled hypertension defined by a SBP ≥ 160 mm Hg and/or DBP ≥ 100 mm Hg, with or without anti-hypertensive medication(s),

  • Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption of dovitinib (e.g. ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection),

  • Cirrhosis, chronic active hepatitis or chronic persistent hepatitis,

  • Known diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (HIV testing is not mandatory),

  • Subjects who are currently receiving anticoagulation treatment with therapeutic doses of warfarin,

  • Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g. active or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled diabetes) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol

• Pregnant or breast-feeding women

• Women of child-bearing potential, who are biologically able to conceive, not willing to employ two forms of highly effective contraception

• Fertile males not willing to use contraception

• Subject has a known hypersensitivity to bortezomib, or known Grade ≥ 2 bortezomib-related neuropathy
