A Broad Multi-Histology Phase II Study of the Multi-Kinase Inhibitor R935788 (Fostamatinib Disodium) in Advanced Colorectal, Non-Small Cell Lung, Head and Neck, Hepatocellular and Renal Cell Carcinomas and Pheochromocytoma and Thyroid Tumors
Background:
- The drug R935788 (fostamatanib disodium) is a kinase inhibitor (i.e., it interferes
with cell communication and growth and may prevent tumor growth).
- R935788 has shown promising activity in NCI-60 (a panel of 60 diverse human cancer cell
lines) against colon cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma cell
lines, as well as in two renal cell xenograft models.
- This is an open-label, Phase II study of R935788. Phase I studies in patients with
immune thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatoid arthritis, and lymphoma have demonstrated
safety with a continuous dosing schedule, and a maximum tolerated dose has been
established.
Objectives:
- To test an experimental drug called R935788 (fostamatinib disodium) for its ability to
stop cancer growth signals, thus slowing the growth of cancer cells in laboratory
testing.
- To determine the clinical response of R935788 administered orally twice a day on a
continuous schedule in patients with colorectal carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, follicular
or papillary thyroid cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular, carcinoma of
the head and neck, and renal cell carcinoma.
- To evaluate the effects, safety, and biochemical response of R935788 therapy.
Eligibility:
- Patients with colorectal carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, follicular or papillary thyroid
cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (excluding squamous cell histology), hepatocellular
cancer, carcinoma of the head and neck, and renal cell carcinoma whose disease has
progressed after any therapy or who have no acceptable standard treatment options.
- Patients must have recovered from toxicities of prior therapies to at least eligibility
levels.
- Patients who have received radiation or chemotherapy within 4 weeks of study enrollment
are not eligible.
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible.
Design:
- Researchers will conduct the following tests and procedures during the study:
- Clinic visits with a physical exam, including vital signs and blood pressure,
every other week during cycle 1, and once a month starting with cycle 2.
- Blood will be drawn weekly during cycle 1, every other week during cycle 2, and
once a month starting with cycle 3; urine tests will be conducted depending on
results of blood tests.
- Imaging tests, such as computed tomography (CT) scans (a series of x-rays) or
ultrasound (an examination using sound waves), will be done every 8 weeks while
the patient is receiving R935788.
- R935788 will be administered orally twice a day for 28 days (one cycle). Imaging
studies will be obtained every two cycles. Patients will fill in a diary to show when
they took the medication and to note any side effects. The 28-day treatment cycle will
be repeated as long as the patient is tolerating R935788 and the cancer is either
stable or getting better.
- Researchers will conduct the following additional tests to see how the study is
affecting the patient:
- Other research blood samples will be collected before treatment, at cycle 1 week
3, at the beginning of cycle 2, and at 8 weeks.
- Optional tumor biopsies will be requested before starting treatment, at cycle 1
day 28.
- Patients with specific lesions or tumors may be asked for an optional tumor biopsy
on day 8.

BACKGROUND
- R935788 (fostamatanib disodium) is a kinase inhibitor with activity in vitro against
several kinases known to be mutated or aberrantly expressed in malignant cells.
- Anticancer drugs that target multiple kinases are of particular interest because tumors
may rely on several different kinase pathways for survival.
- R935788 has shown promising activity in the NCI 60-cell line panel against colon
cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal cell carcinoma cell lines, as well as in
two renal cell xenograft models. R935788 is orally absorbed in tumor-bearing mice at
concentrations that achieve antitumor activity and are not associated with observable
toxicity.
- Phase I studies in patients with immune thrombocytopenic purpura, rheumatoid arthritis
and lymphoma have demonstrated safety with a continuous dosing schedule, and a maximum
tolerated dose (MTD) has been established.
OBJECTIVES
- To determine the clinical response of R935788 administered orally twice a day on a
continuous schedule in patients with colorectal carcinoma, pheochromocytoma,
follicular, medullary, or papillary thyroid cancer, non-small cell lung cancer,
hepatocellular carcinoma, carcinoma of the head and neck, and renal cell carcinoma.
- To evaluate the safety of R935788 in patients with various solid tumors.
- To determine the effects of R935788 on circulating tumor cells, circulating endothelial
cells and levels of phosphorylated AKT and extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK)
in tumor samples.
- To evaluate the biochemical response to R935788 therapy in patients with thyroid
malignancies and pheochromocytoma.
ELIGIBILITY
- Patients with histologically documented pheochromocytoma, follicular, medullary, or
papillary thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma (excluding
squamous cell histology), hepatocellular carcinoma, carcinoma of the head and neck, as
well as renal cell carcinoma) whose disease has progressed after any therapy or who
have no acceptable standard treatment options.
- Radiation or chemotherapy is not permitted within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment.
- Patients must have recovered from toxicities of prior therapies to at least eligibility
levels.
STUDY DESIGN
-This is an open-label, Phase II study of R935788. Patients will receive R935788 orally
twice a day in 28-day cycles without interruption. Imaging studies will be obtained every 2
cycles. Following a limited dose escalation portion in each stratum, a two stage design will
be used, the initial stage of which will consist of 15 to 21 patients depending on tumor
type in each of 7 strata.

document.
- 3.1.8 Age greater than or equal to 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data
are currently available on the use of R935788 in patients < 18 years of age, children
are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric Phase I
trials.
- 3.1.9 Patients with diagnosis of hypertension should have their blood pressure
adequately controlled by medical therapy (adequate control of hypertension for the
purposes of this trial is defined as systolic blood pressure < 150 mmHg or diastolic

prior to entering the study, or those who have not recovered from adverse events due
to prior therapy.
- A time period of greater than or equal to 2 weeks must have elapsed since a patient
was administered any investigational agent as part of a Phase 0 study (also referred
to as an early Phase I study or pre-Phase I study where a sub-therapeutic dose of

- Patients cannot be taking enzyme-inducing anti-seizure medications (e.g., phenytoin,
carbamazepine, phenobarbital, primidone, oxcarbamazepine); other seizure medications
that are not considered enzyme-inducing would be permissible.
- 3.2.5 Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing
infants secondary to exposure to this agent, women who are breast feeding are
ineligible for this study.
- 3.2.6 Patients receiving medications known to induce/inhibit cytochrome P450 3A4
(CYP3A4) will be excluded from this study.

the study.
- Patients will also be required to keep a study diary to record any side effects that
occur during the study and any other medications taken.
- 3.2.7 Subjects with clinically significant illnesses which would compromise
participation in the study, including, but not limited to: unstable or serious
medical conditions (ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure
[AHA Class II or worse], unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric
illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements) are
excluded due to the possibility that the underlying condition may obscure the
attribution of effect and adverse events with respect to the study medication and may
limit study compliance.
- 3.2.8 Patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC) may have underlying chronic
infectious hepatitis as long as there is no evidence of hepatic failure and they meet
the eligibility criteria.
- 3.2.9 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination
antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic
interactions with R935788.
