A Phase 2 interventional study of Pazopanib in Solitary Fibrous Tumor and Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma, sponsored by Grupo Espanol de Investigacion en Sarcomas. Completed at 7 sites in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-27.
Sponsored by Grupo Espanol de Investigacion en Sarcomas · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
Phase II, open-label, non-randomized, international multicenter clinical trial with two strata (SFT and EMC). 8 sites in Spain, 5 sites in Italy and 5 sites in France. Patients will receive oral pazopanib at 800 mg once daily continuously. Patients will continue to receive treatment until there is evidence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, non-compliance, withdrawn consent or investigator decision. The main goal is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) (confirmed complete response [CR] and partial response [PR]) in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic solitary fibrous tumor and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, using Choi and RECIST 1.1 criteria respectively.
To estimate the sample size for stratum 1 (SFT), a Simon's optimal 2-stage phase II design has been used, having considered the published response rate based on Choi criteria in SFT patients which correspond to 40% in monotherapy. For a design with P0=0.40, P1=0.60; α=0.1 and β=0.1. At the first stage, 18 patients should be enrolled into the study, if there are fewer than 8 responses (7 or less) the trial will be terminated and it will be concluded that pazopanib is not sufficiently active. At the second stage, another 28 patients (total 46 patients) would be enrolled into the study. To reject the null hypothesis for the SFT stratum 23 responses or more (Choi criteria), out of the 46 patients, are needed.
To estimate the simple size for stratum 2 (EMC), a Simon's optimal 2-stage phase II design has been used, having considered the very scarce published information on response rate based on RECIST criteria. For a design with P0= 0.05, P1= 0.25, α=0.1 and β=0.1. At the first stage, 9 patients should be enrolled into the study, if there are not responses the trial will be terminated and it will be concluded that pazopanib is not sufficiently active. If there is at least 1 response in this first stage, the trial will be continued and at the second stage, another 15 patients (total 24 patients) would be enrolled into the study. To reject the null hypothesis for the EMC stratum 3 responses or more (RECIST criteria), out of the 24 patients, are needed.
For variables that follow binomial distributions (e.g. response rate) frequency and percentages will be calculated, together with their corresponding exact 95% confidence intervals. For time-to-event variables (e.g. PFS or OS) Kaplan-Meier estimations will be used. To analyze the reduction of risk and the influence of other variables on time-to-event variables Cox Regression will be applied. To correlate pharmacodynamics markers and biomarkers with clinical response standard methods for bivariate and multivariate regression and correlation will be used.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
