About

The purpose of this study is to determine how dosing with ketoconazole (Nizoral) or esomeprazole (Nexium) affects the pharmacokinetics of oral pazopanib. The study will also test for safety of pazopanib when administered with ketoconazole or esomeprazole.

Full description

The study is a 2-arm, open-label, repeat-dose, single sequence, crossover, study designed to evaluate the effects of ketoconazole (Arm A) and esomeprazole (Arm B) on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of oral pazopanib in subjects with solid tumor malignancies. This study will compare the PK parameters of oral pazopanib and its metabolite concentrations when given alone and when co-administered with either ketoconazole (Arm A) or esomeprazole (Arm B). Safety assessments (physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiograms, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, clinical laboratory assessments, and monitoring of adverse events) will also be evaluated during the study.

• Known endobronchial lesions and/or lesions infiltrating major pulmonary vessels.
• Hemoptysis in excess of 2.5 mL (or one-half teaspoon) within 8 weeks of first dose of study drug.
• Any serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric, or other condition that could interfere with subject's safety, provision of informed consent, or compliance to study procedures.
• Treatment with any of the following anti-cancer therapies: radiation therapy, surgery or tumor embolization within 14 days prior to the first dose of pazopanib OR chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, investigational therapy or hormonal therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of pazopanib.
• Any ongoing toxicity from prior anti-cancer therapy that is > Grade 1 (graded by NCI-CTCAE, version 4.0), at the time of enrollment and/or that is progressing in severity, except alopecia as well as stable (>4 weeks) ≤Grade 2 neuropathy or rash.

-Unable or unwilling to discontinue use of protocol-prohibited medications for at least 14 days or 5 half- lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug and for the duration of the study.

-Use of HRT prior to study enrollment due to the potential for inhibition of cytochrome P450 enzymes that metabolize estrogens and progestins (Arm A female subjects only).

34 participants in 2 patient groups

Pazonib+ketoconazole

Experimental group

Description:

Administration of oral pazopanib 400mg (2 200-mg tablets) once-daily each morning for at least 7 consecutive doses during Period 1. Then administration of oral ketoconazole 400 mg (2 - 200 mg tablets) followed immediately by pazopanib 400 mg (2 -200 mg tablets) once-daily each morning for a total of 5 consecutive doses during Period 2.

Drug: pazopanib

Pazonib+esomeprazole

Experimental group

Description:

Subjects will receive orally administered pazopanib 800mg (4 - 200mg tablets) once-daily each morning for at least 7 consecutive doses in Period 1. In the evening on the last day of Period 1, subjects will take their initial dose of esomeprazole 40 mg (1 - 40 mg capsule) approximately 3 hours after the evening meal.
