Phase 1 Study of the Pan-DAC Inhibitor AR-42 and Pazopanib in Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Renal Cell Carcinoma
This phase 1 study will identify recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) of AR-42 and pazopanib
when given in combination for subsequent clinical trials and may potentially identify
candidate pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers.
when given in combination for subsequent clinical trials and may potentially identify
candidate pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers.
This study is a single-arm, open-label, phase 1 trial to determine the RP2Ds of AR-42 and
pazopanib when given in combination to patients with advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) or
Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS). Eligible patients will have recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic
RCC or STS for which pazopanib is an appropriate therapy.
AR-42 will be taken orally once per day on 3 non-consecutive days each week during the first
3 weeks of each 4-week cycle. Pazopanib will be taken by mouth once daily continuously during
each cycle.
A modified 3+3 dose-escalation design will be followed until the maximum tolerated doses
(MTDs) have been determined. Additional patients will be enrolled until a total of 12
patients have been treated at the MTDs. The maximum number of patients needed is 51 with an
expected sample size of 29-35 patients enrolled over a period of about 15-35 months.
Correlative studies will be conducted using samples of tumor that were archived following the
most recent surgery or biopsy.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) or Soft Tissue
Sarcoma (STS) (any histologic type) for which pazopanib is an appropriate therapy
- Measurable or evaluable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Adequate bone marrow function as defined below:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1200/mm3
- Platelets ≥ 120,000/mm3
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.5 g/dL

or actual creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
- Proteinuria ≤ 2+ [100 mg/dL] (using a random urine sample or < 3.0 gm using a
24-hour sample) (Note: If urine sample indicates ≥ 2+ [100 mg/dL]), a 24-hour
urine sample must be collected and tested; urine protein in the 24-hour sample
must be < 3.0 gm/24 hours.)
- Adequate hepatic function as defined below:
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN for the laboratory (Note: Patients with known
Gilbert's Syndrome are not eligible for this study)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN for the laboratory
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN for the laboratory
- Non-hematologic toxicities from previous cancer therapies resolved to ≤ grade 1
- International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5
- Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN for the laboratory
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessment (eg, echocardiogram, MUGA scan,
first-pass technique) performed within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment
indicates an LVEF of ≥ 50%
- A woman of childbearing potential (WCBP), defined as a woman who is < 60 years of age
and has not had a hysterectomy, must have a documented negative serum pregnancy test
within 7 days prior to initiating study treatment
- A WCBP and a male patient with a partner who is a WCBP must agree to use a medically
accepted method for preventing pregnancy for the duration of study treatment and for 2
months following completion of study treatment
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign the consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
- Symptomatic or untreated brain metastasis
- Leptomeningeal metastasis
- Any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to initiating study treatment
- Previous therapy with pazopanib
- Inability to swallow medication
- Known or suspected malabsorption condition or obstruction
- Contraindication to antiangiogenic agents, including:
- Serious non-healing wound, non-healing ulcer, or bone fracture
- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks prior to
initiating study treatment; other surgical procedures within 2 weeks prior to
initiating study treatment

study treatment

study treatment

- Resting systolic blood pressure (BP) < 100 mmHg
- Hypertension defined as systolic BP ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 90 mmHg despite
optimal medical management
- QTc interval > 450 ms on screening 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
- If baseline QTc on screening ECG meets exclusion criteria:
- Check calcium, potassium, and magnesium serum levels.
- Correct any identified hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, and/or hypomagnesemia and
