in the treatment of docetaxel-resistant, castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)
using progression free survival (PFS) as per the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials
Working Group (PCWG2) which is a composite endpoint of PSA, bone scan, and CT
scan assessments
1.2.
Secondary Objectives
1.2.1 To confirm the safety and tolerability of cediranib with or without dasatinib
1.2.2 To calculate objective response rates of cediranib with or without dasatinib
according to RECIST criteria for patients with measurable disease at baseline
1.2.3 To perform symptom assessment using the FACT-P questionnaire and the present
pain intensity (PPI) scale from the McGill-Melzack questionnaire
1.2.4 To explore bone resorption markers (e.g. c-telopeptide and bone alkaline
phosphatase), and to correlate these biomarkers with clinical outcome
2. BACKGROUND
2.1. Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed and the second most common
cause of cancer death in men in North America.(2) Because patients with locally
advanced and metastatic disease have a poor prognosis, identification of novel targets and
therapeutic agents that act against them is a main goal. Prostate cancer is a hormone
sensitive tumor. However, after receiving hormonal treatment, the majority of prostate
cancer patients become resistant to this approach over time. Indeed, the development of
androgen independent disease or castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is inevitable.
Once patients develop clinical CRPC, therapeutic options are limited and prognosis is
poor.(3) Chemotherapy is the standard of care for CRPC. Docetaxel has recently been
considered the new standard cytotoxic agent based on the results of two randomized
trials that reported a statistically significant increase in median survival.(4, 5) For
patients that progressed despite docetaxel based chemotherapy, no standard treatment has
yet demonstrated any significant clinical benefit. In this context, the development of
therapeutic strategies for docetaxel-resistant and castration resistant patients would fulfill
a relevant unmet need in prostate cancer research.
1
Different biologic mechanisms have been associated with the development of CRPC.
Activation of growth factor receptors including the vascular endothelial growth factor
receptor (VEGFR), and its downstream pathway mediators such as the oncogenic Src
pathway have been implicated in this neoplastic process(6) and represent potential
targets.
2.2. Dasatinib (BMS-354825)
Dasatinib (BMS-354825), an aminothiazole analogue, is an orally administered (PO)
protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor with specificity for five kinases/kinase
families that have been strongly linked to multiple forms of human malignancies.(79) These targets include: BCR-ABL, c-Src, c-KIT, PDGFβ receptor, and EPHA2. In
vivo and in vitro studies have established that dasatinib demonstrates potent
antiproliferative activity in a wide spectrum of cancer cell lines/types, and early
clinical results also suggest anticancer activity of dasatinib in chronic myelogenous
leukemia (CML) and solid tumor patients.(10-13)
Dasatinib potently and selectively inhibits the five oncogenic PTKs/kinase families
by competing with ATP for the ATP-binding sites in the kinases: Src family kinases
(IC50: Src = 0.55 nM, LCK = 1.1 nM, YES = 0.41 nM, FYN = 0.2 nM); BCR-ABL (<3 nM);
c-KIT (13 nM); EPHA2 (17 nM) and PDGF receptor (28 nM) (Investigator’s
Brochure, 2009). The agent was found to be less potent against unrelated PTKs and
several serine/threonine kinases. Dasatinib also demonstrates potent inhibition of
VEGF- and bFGF-driven proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVECs), with IC50 values of 43 and 248 nM, respectively.
The Src family of protein tyrosine kinases is comprised of nine homologues that are
highly conserved throughout evolution, and members of the family are ubiquitously
expressed in virtually all metazoan cells, including human epithelia.(14) Platelets,
osteoclasts, and neural cells are the only normal cell types known to contain high levels
of Src. Src TK activity is important in the epithelia to mesenchymal transition that occurs
in the early stages of invasion of carcinoma cells. (15) Although the evidence for
mutational activation in epithelial cells is weak, there is clear evidence that Src
expression and activity are increased at various stages in tumor development including
pre-malignant epithelial changes (e.g., ulcerative colitis, Barrett’s esophagus), in primary
tumors (e.g., breast, colon, ovary, bladder, lung, esophagus), and in metastatic sites (e.g.,
colon cancer, where activity is increased compared to a synchronous primary). The
underlying epithelial cell biology implicates Src kinases in the processes of invasion,
adhesion, cell motility, regulation of cell junctions, and migration. Studies have shown
that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and Src cooperate to control cell adhesion and
migration through modulation of focal adhesion formation and its turnover. It was
previously observed that upon acquisition of an endocrine-resistant state, MCF-7 cells
possess elevated Src activity and gain a motile and invasive phenotype.(16) Increased
Src TK activity in tumors may promote a tumor-invasive phenotype through both its
disruption of normal cell-cell adhesion and by facilitating a motile tumor cell phenotype.
2
This observation is supported by clinical evidence that indicates a relationship between
deregulated Src TK activity and the increased invasive potential of tumor cells. Src is
also involved in signaling pathways regulating survival, angiogenesis, steroid receptor
activation, and growth factor receptors. Increased Src activity has been shown to
correlate with disease progression, with the highest activity found in metastatic tissues.
Furthermore, Src expression and activity have been linked to adverse prognosis in
colorectal and prostate cancer.(17, 18)
Nonclinical Studies
Nonclinical Efficacy
Dasatinib inhibits growth of multiple BCR-ABL-dependent leukemic cell lines and
also shows activity against 14 of 15 imatinib-resistant BCR-ABL kinase mutants.(19)
Inhibition of CML cell lines established from patients who were resistant to imatinib
therapy has also been reported (Wu et al., 2004). Dasatinib potently inhibits wildtype (IC50: 1-10 nM) and mutant (IC50: 10-100 nM) KIT kinases in M07E cells and
human mast cell leukemia cell lines, respectively (Schittenhelm et al., 2006). Also of
note, dasatinib selectively killed primary neoplastic bone marrow mast cells from
patients with systemic mastocytosis while sparing other hematopoietic cells.(20)
Dasatinib demonstrated antiproliferative activity in a wide-spectrum of solid tumor types,
including mastocytoma, prostate, colon, breast, and rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines with
IC50 values ranging from 5.4-845 nM.(8) The agent also inhibited stem cell factor-driven
proliferation of three small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines with IC50 values in the
range of 114-220 nM and showed activity in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and
non-small cell lung cancer cell lines.(21)
When dasatinib was administered twice daily (BID) on a 5-days-on/2-days-off
schedule for a total of 14 to 25 days at doses of 10-50 mg/kg/dose, in vivo antitumor
activity of dasatinib was seen in prostate, colon, SCLC, and rhabdomyosarcoma
xenograft models. Similarly, dasatinib was effective against K562 and imatinibresistant K562-R human CML xenografts in SCID mice at doses as low as 2.5-5
mg/kg/day.(22) In combination with paclitaxel, dasatinib produced antitumor
effects against PC3 human prostate carcinoma xenografts that were significantly
better than the effects of either single agent alone (P = 0.05).(8)
Dasatinib at 20 or 50 mg/kg inhibited the T-cell proliferation response in mice
following the transfer of lymphocytes from allogeneic donor mice.(8) In addition,
treatment of mice with dasatinib 25 mg/kg BID inhibited the graft-versus-host
response in a non-vascularized model of murine heart transplant. The 5-days-on/2days-off regimen almost completely eliminated immunosuppressive activity in this
model.
3
Src kinase is known to play a major role in osteoclast function. In short-term
studies, dasatinib acted as a potent inhibitor of bone resorption as measured by its
ability to reduce the release of 45calcium into the culture medium by fetal rat long
bones in vitro (IC50 = 2 nM). Dasatinib also inhibited parathyroid hormone (PTH)stimulated release of 45calcium in a dose-dependent manner with an apparent IC50
of 2 nM. At 5 nM, dasatinib completely blocked PTH-stimulated bone resorption in
thyro-parathyroidectomized rats. The therapeutic utility of dasatinib in the
treatment of cancer-related hypercalcemic syndromes has not been fully explored,
and the long-term effects of dasatinib on bone physiology are also unknown.
Nonclinical Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Studies
Nonclinical metabolic and pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were conducted with
dasatinib in several species including mouse, rat, dog, and monkeys to assess the
absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the compound in animals.
These studies showed that dasatinib has varying degrees of oral bioavailability,
ranging from 15% in monkeys to 34% in dogs. The permeability of dasatinib in the
Caco-2 cell model is 102 nm/sec at pH 7.4, suggesting that it has the potential for
good (>50%) oral absorption in humans. The agent is highly bound to serum
proteins (>91%) and has extensive extravascular distribution. Dasatinib is
principally eliminated by hepatic metabolism and excreted in feces. The agent is
primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme to three hydroxylated isomers, a bisoxygenated metabolite, an N-dealkylated metabolite, a carboxylic acid, a
dehydrogenation product, and glucuronide, sulfate and taurine conjugates.
The value of phospho-Src as a biomarker of dasatinib efficacy has been explored in
nonclinical studies.(23) In nude mice bearing subcutaneous PC-3 tumors (human
prostate), measurement of phospho-Src by western blot in tumor and peripheral
blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) following treatment with a single dose of
dasatinib (15 or 50 mg/kg) produced similar results in both tissues. Levels of
phospho-Src were maximally inhibited at 3 hours post dose, then recovered
partially between 7 and 17 hours and returned to the basal level by 24 hours after
agent administration. These results were quantitated by image scanning and
compared to efficacy results when the agent was administered PO BID at 15-50
mg/kg/dose for 14 days on a 5-days-on/2-days-off schedule. Efficacy and phosphoSrc inhibition appeared to correlate, and this pharmacodynamic model permitted
the authors to predict that the plasma concentration of dasatinib required to
produce 90% inhibition of phospho-Src would be 164 nM and 91 nM in PC-3 tumor
and PBMCs, respectively. Studies to evaluate the clinical utility of phospho-Src as a
biomarker are ongoing.
Toxicology
A range of toxicology studies have been conducted to support the oral
administration of dasatinib in humans. The oral studies indicated that dasatinib
induced reversible toxicities of the gastrointestinal (GI) and lymphoid systems in
rats and monkeys, and of the hematopoietic system in rats. Embryofetal
4
development studies in rats and rabbits indicated that dasatinib caused
embryolethality or skeletal malformations at doses that did not cause maternal
toxicity, suggesting that it is a selective developmental toxicant. An in vitro
cytogenetics study in CHO cells indicated that it was clastogenic at concentrations
>5 μg/mL, a level not achievable in vivo. The agent is nongenotoxic and did not
show significant potential for undesirable functional activity in in vitro receptor/ion
channel binding and enzyme assays. In vitro potassium channel current (HERG/IKr)
and Purkinje fiber assays suggested that dasatinib could potentially prolong cardiac
ventricular repolarization (QT interval), and a single-dose cardiovascular study in
monkeys demonstrated that the agent at a dose of 10 mg/kg caused a minimal
increase in blood pressure for approximately 2 hours post dose. There were no
drug-related neurologic observations in rats or monkeys. Dasatinib was found to be
phototoxic in an in vitro assay in mouse fibroblasts.
Clinical Experience
Over two thousand subjects have received dasatinib, a number with CML refractory
or intolerant to imatinib but many also with solid tumours such as advanced breast
cancer and prostate cancer.(8) Studies conducted in healthy volunteers include the
following: PK; formulation comparisons; the effect of food; drug interactions; and
supportive care.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted using a single 100 mg dose of dasatinib
administered to healthy volunteers in four different formulations: 50 mg clinical
tablets x 2, 5 mg clinical tablets x 20, 20 mg commercial tablets x 5, and 50 mg
commercial tablets x 2. The PK profile of the agent was similar in all four
formulations. The PK profile of dasatinib was also assessed in CML and Ph+ ALL
patients providing data which showed that the PK parameters in the patient
population appear to be similar to that in the healthy volunteers. The agent was
absorbed rapidly following oral administration; peak plasma concentrations were
achieved in 0.5-3 hours and dose-related increases in plasma concentrations were
observed. The mean terminal half-life (t1/2) of dasatinib was 4 hours. Dosing
interval exposures and t1/2 values were comparable regardless of whether the agent
was administered on a once daily or twice daily (BID) 5-day-on/2-day-off schedule,
or BID continuously.
Efficacy in Solid Tumor - Prostate Cancer
CA180085
CA180085 is an open-label Phase 2 study to estimate the response rate of adding
dasatinib treatment to ongoing androgen deprivation with LHRH treatment or
surgical castration in men with metastatic prostate cancer. Ninety-five subjects
were treated with dasatinib at 100 mg BID, 70 mg BID, or 100 mg QD. The median
duration of therapy was determined to be 2.96 months (range 0.03 - 17.08). Sixty-
5
one of the 95 subjects discontinued treatment due to disease progression. At the
time of this report, 8 subjects were continuing on therapy.
Of the 95 treated subjects, 25 subjects were responders based on the composite
endpoint. Confirmed prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response was observed in 2
subjects, 1 in each
the QD and BID groups. Stabilization of visceral/nodal disease as evaluated by
RECIST was observed in 10 subjects in the QD group and 12 subjects in the BID
group, and a partial response was observed in 1 (1.1%) subject (QD group). One
subject (BID group) had a confirmed bone scan improvement and 49 subjects (52%)
had stabilization of bone as evaluated by bone scan. Reduction in bone turnover as
evaluated by uNTX (urinary N-telopeptide) and BAP (bone-specific alkaline
phosphatase) was also observed in a large proportion of the patients while on
treatment. uNTX and BAP are bone resorption markers representative of
osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity, respectively. Daily dosing with dasatinib at
100 mg/QD led to fewer and less severe side-effects compared with BID dosing with
either 70 mg or 100 mg.(24-26)
CA180086
CA180086 is an ongoing open label Phase 1/2 study to assess the MTD and
recommended Phase 2 dose of each drug in the combination of oral dasatinib and
intravenous docetaxel in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant (hormonerefractory) prostate cancer (CRPC). Docetaxel dose levels were 60 mg/m2 and 75
mg/m2. Dasatinib dose levels investigated were 50 mg, 70 mg, 100 mg, and 120 mg.
Forty-six subjects were treated with 12 still receiving treatment at data cutoff (17Aug-2009) (Appendix 6). Twenty-two of the 46 treated subjects discontinued
treatment due to disease progression. Currently, the median duration of therapy
was 6.2 months (range 0.1 - 11.5).
Of the 46 treated subjects, at the time of this interim analysis one unconfirmed
complete response, 17 partial responses of visceral/nodal disease as evaluated by
RECIST were observed and stabilization of disease (SD >/= 18 weeks) was observed
in 5 subjects. Confirmed PSA response was observed in 26 subjects and bone scan
improvement was seen in 13 subjects. Reduction in bone turnover as evaluated by
uNTX and BAP was also observed in a large proportion of the patients while on
treatment. No pharmacokinetic interaction was observed between dasatinib and
docetaxel when administered in combination.(27, 28)
CA180227
This is an ongoing double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 study designed to
compare overall survival for dasatinib plus docetaxel and prednisone versus
placebo plus docetaxel and prednisone in subjects with metastatic CRPC. A total of
1380 subjects are to be randomized to received full dose docetaxel (75 mg/m2) and
prednisone plus dasatanib, 100mg orally daily and continuously or docetaxel,
6
prednisone and placebo. The first review of the DMC after 100 subjects received
two cycles or more recommended to continue enrolment without modification.(8)
Based on results from phase 1 and 2 studies, a daily, continuous dose of 100 mg
appears well tolerated in subjects with advanced solid tumors and will be used for
this study.
Safety
Please consult the most recent version of the Investigator’s Brochure for more
details on the following studies.(8)
In Phase 1 clinical pharmacology studies, dasatinib has been administered to 464
subjects (322 normal healthy volunteers, 109 subjects with leukemia, 18 subjects
with advanced solid tumors, and 15 subjects with hepatic impairment). In Phase 1,
2, and 3 clinical efficacy and safety studies, a total of 3,666 subjects have been
treated with dasatinib. Dasatinib’s activity has been investigated in eight Phase 1
studies (CA180009, CA180016, CA180019, CA180020, CA180022, CA180032,
CA180037, and CA180002) and five Phase 2 studies (CA180005, CA180006,
CA180013, CA180015, and CA180017) that supported the approved indication and
initial dosage of dasatinib at 70 mg BID in subjects with CML or Ph+ ALL. Two Phase
3 studies (CA1800034 and CA180035) were designed to compare alternate doses
and administration schedules in imatinib resistant or intolerant subjects with
chronic, accelerated, or blast phase CML or Ph+ ALL. Data from CA180034
supported the approval of dasatinib at 100 mg administered QD in subjects with
chronic phase CML. As a result of similar efficacy and improved safety in study
CA180035, the approved dose was changed from 70 mg BID to 140 mg QD in
advanced disease CML and in Ph+ ALL.
In the dasatinib hematology program, two Phase 2 (CA180040 and CA180072) and
two Phase 3 studies (CA180056 and CA180216) in newly diagnosed chronic phase
CML are ongoing. Recently completed studies in CML include Phase 1/Phase 2
studies in Japan (CA180031, CA180036, and CA180138) and a Phase 2 study in
China (CA180160). Pediatric studies in CML and Ph+ ALL are completed (CA180038
- also includes solid tumor), ongoing (CA180018, CA180226, CA180204), or planned
(CA180Q36). Studies of dasatinib treatment in new indications include CA180180
and CA180181 (Phase 1 studies in multiple myeloma) and CA180267 (systemic
sclerosis).
The dasatinib solid tumor clinical program is designed to evaluate the safety,
tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamic profile of dasatinib in
subjects with solid tumor (breast, glioblastoma and prostate) and to assess antitumor activity. The solid tumor program currently comprises four Phase 1
(CA180003, CA180021, CA180004, CA180086 [Phase 1/2]), four Phase 2 studies
7
(CA180059, CA180088, CA180085, CA180261), and one Phase 3 study (CA180227);
results from some of these studies are summarized in the Investigator’s Brochure.
The clinical safety and tolerability of dasatinib administered at 70 mg BID with 2
years of follow-up was demonstrated in subjects with chronic and advanced phase
CML and Ph+ ALL in one Phase 1 study (CA180002) and five pivotal Phase 2 studies
(CA180005, CA180006, CA180013, CA180015, CA180017). Besides the expected
cytopenias in these disease populations, fluid retention, in particular pleural
effusion, was a common side effect that required medical management with dose
interruptions and dose reductions. In an attempt to control these adverse events
(AEs) while maintaining dasatinib’s efficacy, two Phase 3 studies (CA180034 and
CA180035) were designed to assess the safety and efficacy of different dosing
schedules and to investigate the optimal dose and schedule of dasatinib. As a result
of comparable efficacy and improved safety reported in studies CA180034 and
CA180035, the recommended dose was changed from 70 mg BID to 100 mg QD in
subjects with chronic phase CML and from 70 mg BID to 140 mg QD in subjects with
advanced phase CML and Ph+ ALL. Overall, the median duration of therapy was 15
months (range 0.03 - 36 months). Dasatinib continues to show a safe and tolerable
safety profile. Incidence rates of fluid retention-related events (including pleural
effusion, congestive heart failure, pericardial effusion, pulmonary edema) and of
cytopenias (including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia) continue to be
of special interest.
Safety in Solid Cancers
The MTD on the 5D2 schedule was 240 mg TDD, with 1 of 6 evaluable subjects
reporting DLT (Grade 3 tumor lysis syndrome). The 240-mg dose was 1 level below
the MAD of 320 mg, at which 3 of 4 evaluable subjects had DLT (recurrent Grade 2
rash; Grade 3 lethargy; and 1 subject with Grade 3 prolonged bleeding time and
Grade 3 hypocalcemia).
The MTD on the CDD schedule was 140 mg TDD, at which no subjects reported DLT.
Treatment on this schedule was initiated at 140 mg and escalated to the maximum
administered dose (MAD) of 240 mg, at which 3 of 4 evaluable subjects reported
DLT (Grade 3 nausea, Grade 3 fatigue, and Grade 2 proteinuria and Grade 3 rash,
respectively).
All but 1 of the 67 subjects (98.5%) reported at least 1 AE during the study. The
most frequent AEs (regardless of relationship) were nausea, anorexia, and fatigue. A
total of 64/67 subjects (95%) had at least 1 AE that was considered drug-related by
the investigator. Of the 18 deaths, all but 1 of these deaths were due to disease
progression; 1 subject died due to gastrointestinal bleeding that the investigator
considered most likely due to disease progression, but could not rule out a possible
contribution by study drug.
8
Unlike dasatinib treatment in subjects with leukemia, Grade 3 to 4
myelosuppression in subjects with solid tumors was infrequent. This comparison
suggests a minimal direct myelosuppressive effect of dasatinib in normal
hemapoietic progenitor cells, which are not driven by the ABL kinase.
Solid Tumor - Prostate Cancer
CA180085
Eight subjects remain on treatment. Of the 87 subjects off-treatment, 61
discontinued treatment due to disease progression. Four subjects died, 2 in the 100
mg BID group and 2 in the 100 mg QD group. Both of the subjects in the QD group
died within 30 days of the last dose of treatment (1 due to disease progression and 1
unknown). Deaths in the100 mg BID group were due to prostate cancer. In general,
fewer subjects in the QD group reported drug-related AEs compared with either of
the BID groups. The majority of drug-related AEs were Grade 1/2. The most
common AEs were nausea, fatigue, asthenia, pleural effusions, rash, nausea,
headaches and diarrhea. Most on-treatment AEs were manageable by dose
reductions and dose interruptions. A total of 20 out of 95 subjects reported SAEs
(any relationship or grade).
CA180086
Twenty-two of the 46 treated subjects discontinued treatment due to disease
progression. Dose reductions were required in 4 treated subjects, but only following
the DLT observation period. Dose interruptions were reported in the 50 mg/60
mg/m2 (n = 3), 50 mg/75 mg/m2 (n = 2), 100 mg/75 mg/m2 (n = 21), and 120
mg/75 mg/m2 (n = 3) treatment groups. Two subjects died (1 each for 50 mg/60
mg/m2 and 100 mg/75 mg/m2) due to disease progression. The majority of drugrelated AEs were Grade 1/2. A total of 15 out of 46 subjects reported SAEs (any
relationship or grade). Though this study is currently ongoing, preliminary data
review indicates that dasatinib at doses up to 120 mg QD in combination with
docetaxel up to 75 mg/m2 is safe and tolerable.
Potential Drug Interactions
Dasatinib is primarily metabolized by CYP3A4 and therefore, potent inhibitors of
this enzyme are contra-indicated.(8) Dasatinib is also a significant inhibitor of this
hepatic enzyme but a weak inhibitor of other cytochrome enzymes, and the agent
does not induce CYP3A4. Thus, dasatinib may decrease the clearance of drugs that
are significantly metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme, and caution should be used
with concurrent use of such drugs or substances. In a study in cancer patients,
concomitant use of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor (ketoconazole) produced >5-fold
increase in exposure to dasatinib, while healthy subjects treated concurrently with
dasatinib and a potent CYP3A4 inducer experienced a 5-fold decrease in dasatinib
exposure. When the CYP3A4 substrate simvastatin was studied in combination with
9
dasatinib, increased simvastatin exposure resulted, indicating the necessity of caution
when dasatinib is administered with CYP3A4 substrates with a narrow therapeutic
margin (e.g., cyclosporine).
A list of prohibited agents as well as a list of medications to be used with caution in
patients receiving dasatinib is in Appendix A.

2.3. Cediranib (AZD2171)
Cediranib, an orally available small molecule, is a potent inhibitor of receptor
tyrosine kinases (RTKs) which influence the effects of a key angiogenic factor,
vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF). VEGF is implicated in tumor blood
vessel formation and in disease progression in a wide range of solid tumor
malignancies. Expression of this factor is increased by diverse stimuli which include
proto-oncogene activation and hypoxia, with the hypoxic state frequently occurring
in solid tumors because of inadequate perfusion. In addition to its angiogenic role,
VEGF also profoundly increases the permeability of the vasculature and thereby
potentially contributes to tumor progression – a leaky tumor endothelium enhances
nutrient and catabolite exchange and represents less of a barrier to tumor cell
migration during metastasis. With the goal of suppressing neovascularization and
thus inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis, numerous antiangiogenic agents have
been developed. In contrast to many of these intravenously-administered
antiangiogenic agents, a recently emerging class of novel orally-administered VEGF
TK inhibitors including cediranib has been developed.(29-31)
Two high-affinity receptors for VEGF with associated TK activity have been
identified on human vascular endothelium, KDR (kinase insert domain-containing
receptor = VEGFR2) and Flt-1 (fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 = VEGFR1). Although the
relative contributions of KDR and Flt-1 signaling in mediating tumor progression
have not been elucidated, a number of studies suggest that KDR performs a
predominant role. Cediranib is a potent inhibitor of both KDR (IC50 <0.002 M) and
Flt-1 (IC50 = 0.005 M) and shows activity versus c-kit, platelet-derived growth
-4 at nM concentrations, but is not selective
against other serine/threonine kinases studied. It has been shown that cediranib
potently and selectively inhibits VEGF-stimulated human umbilical cord vascular
endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation with an IC50 of 4 nM.(31) These authors have
also demonstrated the agent’s profound inhibitory effect on vessel area, length, and
branching at subnanomolar concentrations using a modified fibroblast/endothelial
cell co-culture system. Cediranib’s effects on hemodynamic parameters have been
studied in an athymic rat xenograft model of human colorectal carcinoma (SW620)
using perfusion-permeability dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance
imaging (pp-DCE-MRI).(32) This method clearly demonstrated that in this model,
cediranib significantly reduced vascular permeability by 80% (P<0.005) and
vascular volume by 68% (P<0.05).
Nonclinical Studies
Nonclinical Efficacy
The effect of cediranib was studied in athymic nu/nu mice bearing established
subcutaneous human tumor xenografts of diverse histologies [SW620 (colon), PC-3
(prostate), Calu-6 (lung), SKOV-3 (ovarian), and MDA-MB-231 (breast)]. Animals
11
were administered cediranib orally (PO) at doses from 0.75 to 6 mg/kg/day (2.2518 mg/m2/day) in a constant volume of 0.1 mL/10 g body weight for 24-28 days.
Cediranib produced a statistically significant inhibition of tumor growth in all
human tumor types examined when dosed at 1.5 mg/kg/day (4.5 mg/m2/day) or
higher.
The murine renal cell carcinoma (RENCA) model, which rapidly (generally within 10
days) metastasizes to the lung and abdominal lymph nodes, has also been used for
cediranib efficacy studies.(33) In experiments incorporating a vehicle control,
cediranib (at a dose of 6.3 mg/kg/day PO) reduced primary tumor growth,
metastasis, and microvessel density more potently than any other previouslystudied VEGF RTK inhibitor reported in the literature.
Using a transgenic mouse model in which multiple mammary tumors spontaneously
develop after two pregnancies, investigators studied the temporal effects of
cediranib administration.(34) When dosed with cediranib (0.75 to 6 mg/kg/day
PO) at the time early lesions start to develop, the number of tumor foci was not
affected, but their growth was inhibited. When tumors were well-established before
cediranib was given (at doses of 3 and 6 mg/kg/day), dose-dependent growth
inhibition occurred as well as tumor regression.
Further details of the non-clinical efficacy of cediranib can be found in Section 4.1 of
the investigator’s brochure.
Nonclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology
Nonclinical pharmacology and toxicology company-sponsored cediranib studies
have been conducted in rats, dogs, and cynomolgus monkeys. In rats and dogs, oral
bioavailability is high, but absorption is relatively slow, with peak plasma
concentration (Cmax) of the agent seen 4-6 hours after PO dosing. Plasma
concentrations and exposure are generally linear over the dose ranges studied in
rats. Cediranib is excreted in the feces (>70% of the dose) of rats, dogs, and
cynomolgus monkey after both PO and intravenous administration. Fecal excretion
was the predominant route of elimination (>70% of the dose) in both rat, dog and
cynomolgus monkey after both oral and intravenous administration. Elimination
was rapid in rats and monkeys with over 75% of the dose being recovered in the
first 48 hours; in dogs excretion was slightly slower but again substantially
complete by 7 days.
Over the dose ranges examined in the rat, plasma concentrations and exposure
generally increased in proportion to dose; however, in monkeys, plasma cediranib
concentration-time profiles obtained following a single oral dose indicated that
systemic exposure increased in a greater than dose-proportional manner over the
dose range 0.05 to 2.5 mg/kg.
12
Protein binding of cediranib (90 to 95%) was relatively high across all species
examined and was independent of concentration (range: 0.03 to 10 g/mL) and
gender. Cediranib was approximately 95% bound to human plasma proteins, with
human serum albumin and α1-acid glycoprotein accounting for most of this binding.
VEGF has three major biological activities in endothelial cells of rats and primates of
the age groups used in the nonclinical studies. It is an important angiogenic factor, a
potent physiological mediator of vascular tone (specifically of vasodilation), and a
potent modulator of capillary permeability inducing endothelial cell fenestrations.
VEGF receptor inhibition was therefore considered to be the cause of many of the
pathophysiological changes encountered.
Vascular (myocarditis, choroid plexus) and renal (glomerulosclerosis and tubular
degeneration) pathologies have been seen in rat, dog, and primate dosed with
cediranib which are considered to be consistent with lesions induced by
hypertension, although a direct effect by cediranib on these tissues cannot be
excluded. Pathological findings were also seen in the adrenal glands (degenerative
cortical changes), pancreas (acinar epithelial cell necrosis), thyroid (follicular
epithelial cell atrophy), liver (hepatocyte necrosis), and biliary system (cholangitis
and bile duct proliferation and bile duct cholangitis) of the rat. In addition in the
primate, changes were seen in the gallbladder (mucosal hypertrophy) and bile duct
(hyperplasia/hypertrophy).
Cediranib did not induce rat hepatic microsomal P450 activity but caused a
40 to 60% reduction in CYP1A activity at the 2.5 mg/kg dose level. Inhibition
studies in vitro using human hepatic microsomal protein gave IC50 values for
cediranib against CYP2D6, CYP3A4 testosterone, and CYP3A4 midazolam of 32.9,
16.2, and 21.4 mcg/mL, respectively. For CYP1A2, CYP2A6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9,
CYP2C19, and CYP2E1, the IC50 values were outside the concentration range of
cediranib examined. As the clinically relevant plasma concentration of cediranib
has not yet been determined, any possible effect on compound clearance and drug
interaction is currently unknown.
A list of prohibited agents as well as a list of medications to be used with caution in
patients receiving cediranib is in Appendix A.
Further details of the nonclinical pharmacology and toxicity of cediranib can be
found in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the investigator’s brochure, respectively.
Clinical Experience
Clinical Studies
In a phase I study with cediranib the recommended dose for further phase II studies
was 45 mg once daily.(35) In this study eighty-three patients received cediranib,
which was generally well tolerated at doses of 45 mg/d or less. The most frequently
13
reported dose-related adverse events were diarrhea, dysphonia, and hypertension.
The most common DLT was hypertension (n = 7), which occurred at cediranib doses
of 20 mg and higher. In other phase I trials where cediranib was combined with
other chemotherapy regimens the dose varied between 20 and 45 mg daily. For
instance, in advanced non-small cell lung cancer cediranib in combination with
Carboplatin and Paclitaxel was administered at a dose of 30 mg daily,(36) and this
dose of cediranib was initially selected for further phase II/III evaluation. However,
the phase II/III trial (BR.24) has since been terminated based on an interim analysis
of progression-free survival and accumulated toxicity data, and this trial has
restarted with a similar comparison but uses cediranib 20 mg instead of 30 mg. In a
phase I trial in prostate cancer the selected cediranib dose for further studies was
20 mg daily.(37) In this study a total of twenty-four patients received cediranib
monotherapy treatment at once-daily oral doses of 1, 2.5, 5, 10 (all n = 3), 20 (n =
10) and 30 mg (n = 2). In the 20 and 30 mg cohorts, grade 3 adverse events
considered by the investigator to be possibly drug-related were hypertension (n =
2), fatigue, muscular weakness, myalgia and transient ischemic attack (n = 1 each).
The 20 mg dose was tested in a phase II trial in docetaxel resistant, CRPC
patients.(38) In this ongoing study, 13 of 23 evaluable patients had tumor shrinkage
and 4 have met the criteria for partial response. Decreases in lymph node
metastases as well as in lung, liver and bone lesions have occurred. PSA levels have
not corresponded well with imaging responses.(38, 39) In another phase I trial of
cediranib given in combination with gefitinib in solid tumors, no unexpected
toxicities were observed for cediranib doses between 20 mg and 45 mg.(40)
Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (RPLS) or Other
Leukoencephalopthy Syndromes
RPLS or clinical syndromes related to vasogenic edema of the white matter have
been rarely reported in association with cediranib therapy (<3%). Clinical
presentations are variable and may include altered mental status, seizure and
cortical visual deficit. Hypertension is a common risk factor and was present in
most (though not all) patients on cediranib who developed RPLS. MRI scans are key
to diagnosis and typically demonstrate vasogenic edema (hyperintensity in T2 and
FLAIR images and hypointensity in T1 images) predominantly in the white matter of
the posterior parietal and occipital lobes; less frequently, the anterior distributions
and the gray matter may also be involved. RPLS should be in the differential
diagnosis in patients presenting with unexplained mental status change, visual
disturbance, seizure or other CNS findings. RPLS is potentially reversible, but timely
correction of the underlying causes, including control of blood pressure and
interruption of the offending drug, is important in order to prevent progression to
irreversible tissue damage.
Certain physiologic processes other than endothelial cell growth are dependent on
VEGF signaling, so inhibition of that growth factor may have implications for use of
cediranib in selected patient populations. Cediranib interferes with normal
reproductive processes and completely prevents fetal development in rats at a dose
14
of 2.5 mg/kg/day. For this reason, women of childbearing potential should have a
negative pregnancy test before treatment with cediranib is initiated. In rat studies,
cediranib significantly inhibited endochondral ossification and corpora lutea
formation.(31)
2.4. Rationale for Combining Cediranib and Dasatinib in CRPC
Several pathways have been linked to the development of CRPC, such as mutations
in the androgen receptor or non-physiological activation of signaling pathways
controlling cell survival, differentiation, progression and angiogenesis such as
VEGFR, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) or platelet-derived growth factor
receptor (PDGFR).(6) The role of VEGF/VEGFR activation has been well studied in
prostate cancer. Elevation of VEGF has been correlated with poor prognosis and
progression(41) and inhibition of VEGF/VEGFR pathway in experimental models
induces an anti-tumor effect. These findings support the rationale for the
development of antiangiogenic agents in prostate cancer. Cediranib is an
antiangiogenic agent that inhibits several tyrosine kinase receptors involved in the
angiogenic process including VEGFR1, 2 and 3. Preclinically, cediranib inhibits the
tumor volume in prostate cancer models using xenograft mice.(31) In a recent
phase II study of cediranib monotherapy in docetaxel resistant CRPC patients, stable
disease/partial response have been observed in 13 of 23 (57%) evaluable
patients.(38, 39)
Similarly, activation of EGFR and downstream pathways have been associated with
the development of CRPC.(6) The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase Src has been
implicated in the transduction of intracellular signaling mediated by upstream
receptors. Furthermore, activation of Src in tumors from prostate cancer patients is
associated with a worse prognosis.(18) In the same context, treatment of CRPC cells
with a Src inhibitor provoked a reduction in migration and proliferation.(18) From
a clinical perspective, a phase II trial in 47 chemo naive CRPC patients, treatment
with dasatinib at 70 mg p.o. BID (initial dose was 100 mg BID) showed promising
activity. In this study, 28% (13 of 47) of the treated patients responded or had
tumor stabilization (composite endpoint): one patient had a confirmed PSA
response, 12 patients had RECIST-criteria stable disease, and no patient had a
confirmed improved bone scan.(24, 26) A phase II trial in another 47 chemo naive
CRPC patients, dasatinib was given at 100 mg p.o. daily. The composite response
rate of PSA responses, bone scans and disease control was 17% (8 of 47). Of 11
patients evaluable by RECIST, 64% achieved stable disease. Of 22 patients with
bone scans, 50% were stable at 12 weeks and 33% were stable at 24 weeks. A
prolonged PSA doubling time was observed in 32 of 39 patients (82%), including
one patient with a PSA response. Grade 3 or 4 adverse events were experienced by
13% of patients including diarrhea, asthenia and pleural effusion.(25) A phase II
trial of another Src inhibitor, saracatinib, at 175 mg p.o. daily in 28 patients with
CRPC, of which 9 (32%) had prior docetaxel therapy, yielded a median progression-
15
free survival of 8 weeks with 5 patients experiencing a transient PSA reduction but
not meeting PSA response criteria. Treatment was well tolerated with one grade 3
occurrence each of ALT elevation, AST elevation, nausea, vomiting and
lymphopenia.(42)
Recent biological findings suggest that therapeutic targeting with drug
combinations could increase the antitumor activity compared with single agent
treatment.(43) This concept is also supported by experimental findings in
androgen-independent models which indicate that inhibition of receptor tyrosine
kinase signaling may restore androgen-dependence or sensitivity to cytotoxic
treatment.(44, 45) A phase I study of cediranib and the Src inhibitor saracatinib was
performed by Trarbach et al. in patients with advanced solid tumors.(46) When
combined with saracatinib at a fixed dose of 175 mg daily, no dose-limiting toxicities
were observed in either the cediranib 20 mg or 30 mg cohorts, while 1 dose-limiting
toxicity of grade 3 hypertension was observed in the cediranib 45 mg cohort. While
all three doses of cediranib (20 mg, 30 mg and 45 mg) were well tolerated when
combined with saracatinib at 175 mg daily, the data suggest that the cediranib 20
mg and 30 mg doses were more sustainable than the cediranib 45 mg dose. The
most common adverse events were hypertension, diarrhea, dysphonia and fatigue.
There was no evidence to suggest that saracatinib had a clinically significant effect
on cediranib pharmacokinetics or vice versa. Overall, 22/39 patients (56%)
achieved a best overall response of stable disease. The recommended doses of
cediranib for future studies, in combination with full dose saracatanib are 20 mg
and 30 mg.(46)
Based on these preclinical and clinical data we consider that the concomitant
administration of the Src inhibitor dasatinib with the VEGFR inhibitor cediranib
could be of interest, especially in docetaxel resistant CRPC where there is an unmet
need and where the combination may enhance antitumor activity. In this context,
the combination of both drug is likely to be safe at doses of dasatinib of 100 mg and
of cediranib of 45 mg or less. The most common adverse events most likely to be
observed are hypertension, diarrhea, nausea, pleural effusion, rash, dysphonia and
fatigue.
2.5 Correlative Studies Background
Bone Resorption Markers for Src Inhibition
While responsive to androgen ablation in its early stages, prostate cancer eventually
becomes castration resistant and metastasizes preferentially to bone. Increasing
evidence has shown a ubiquitous role for Src in bone-signalling processes involved
in prostate tumor progression, driving proliferation, survival, migration and
transition to androgen-independent growth. Src is implicated in diseases associated
with increased bone resorption, such as osteoporosis and metastatic bone
disease.(47) In short-term in vitro studies, dasatinib was a potent inhibitor of bone
resorption. In addition, in preclinical models of cancer-related hypercalcemic
16
syndromes, dasatinib inhibited PTH-stimulated release of [45calcium] and, at 5 nM,
completely blocked PTH-stimulated bone resorption in thyro-parathyroidectomized
rats.(8)
In a preclinical evaluation of the Src inhibitor saracatinib in the prostate
cancer osteolytic cell line PC-3, saracatinib inhibited PC-3 growth in a dosedependent manner with inhibition of phosphorylation of Src, focal adhesion kinase,
paxillin and P130cas at the nanomolar magnitude. For in vivo study, PC-3 cells were
injected into the tibia of 12 control SCID mice and 12 SCID mice receiving 25
mg/kg/day saracatinib. At 5 weeks from surgery, 9 of 12 control mice showed
osteolytic lesions, compared to only 4 of 12 in the treatment group. This data
suggest the ability of Src inhibitors to retard osteolytic lesions in prostate
cancer.(48) In the phase II study of dasatinib given at 100 mg daily, 20 of 41 (49%)
patients had a > 35% decrease in urine n-telopeptide and 21 of 42 (50%) had a
decrease from baseline in bone alkaline phosphatase.
As a secondary objective, we plan to measure bone resorption markers at baseline
and every 4 weeks in this study. These markers include urine c-telopeptide and
bone alkaline phosphatase. We postulate that these biomarkers will decrease as a
result of treatment in both arms, but a more pronounced decrease will be observed
in the combination arm of cediranib and dasatinib compared to cediranib alone.

3. PATIENT SELECTION
3.1 Eligibility Criteria
3.1.1 Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate cancer.
3.1.2 Patients must have measurable or non-measurable disease. Measurable disease
is defined (per RECIST) as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in
at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as >20 mm with
conventional techniques or as >10 mm with spiral CT scan. All other lesions (or
sites of disease), including small lesions (longest diameter <20 mm with
conventional techniques or <10 mm using spiral CT scan), are considered nonmeasurable disease. According to PCWG2 criteria, lymph nodes will only be
included for measurable disease if >20 mm. Bone lesions, leptomeningeal
disease, ascites, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis, inflammatory breast disease,
abdominal masses (not followed by CT or MRI), and cystic lesions are all nonmeasurable. See Section 11 for the evaluation of measurable and nonmeasurable disease. Patients with elevation of PSA alone without measurable or
non-measurable disease are not eligible.
3.1.3 Patients must have been treated with prior hormonal therapy.
3.1.3.1 This must include either medical (LHRH agonist) or surgical
(orchiectomy) castration. If patients have been treated with LHRH
agonists in the past, this therapy should be continued or re-started. All
patients must have a castration level of testosterone (<50 ng/dL). A
baseline testosterone measurement is not required for patients who
have had surgical castration.
3.1.3.2 Anti-androgens must have been stopped for at least 4 weeks prior to
Day 1 of treatment.
3.1.4 Patients must have a clinical and/or radiographic evidence of progression on or
after docetaxel therapy.
3.1.5
Concurrent therapy:
3.1.5.1 Supportive measures such as zoledronic acid can be continued as long as
patients had been receiving it prior to starting study treatment. Low dose
corticosteroid (equivalent of 20 mg of prednisone or less daily) and
appropriate analgesics/narcotics are also permitted.
3.1.6 Prior therapy:
18
3.1.6.1 Chemotherapy for metastatic disease: Patients may have had any
number of other regimens of chemotherapy following docetaxel. A
minimum of 4 weeks must have elapsed since the last dose of
chemotherapy and Day 1 of treatment.
3.1.6.2 Hormonal therapy: There is no limit on the number of prior hormonal
therapy. Prior abiraterone is permitted. A minimum of 4 weeks must
have elapsed since the last dose of hormonal therapy or abiraterone and
Day 1 of treatment.
3.1.6.3 Radioisotopes: Prior radioisotopes are permitted provided a minimum of
3 weeks has elapsed since the last dose of radioisotope therapy and Day 1
of treatment.
3.1.6.4 Radiation: Prior radiation is permitted provided a minimum of 3 weeks
must have elapsed since the last dose of radiation and Day 1 of treatment.
Exceptions may be made, however, for low dose, non-myelosuppressive
radiotherapy (Contact PMH Phase I Consortium Central Office 416-9464616 if questions arise about interpretation of this criterion). Patients
must have recovered from the toxic effects of radiation.
3.1.6.5 Targeted therapy: Patients may not have had prior therapy with
angiogenesis or Src or FAK inhibitors. Prior treatment with agents such
as COX-2 inhibitors in standard dose is not considered antiangiogenic
therapy. Prior treatment with a targeted agent that is not an
angiogenesis, Src or FAK inhibitor is permitted but a minimum of 4 weeks
must have elapsed since the last dose of targeted therapy and Day 1 of
treatment.
3.1.6.6 Surgery: Prior surgery is permitted provided that wound healing has
occurred and at least 3 weeks have elapsed (for major surgery).
3.1.7 Age >18 years.
3.1.8 Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.
3.1.9 ECOG performance status ≤ 2 (Karnofsky >60%; see Appendix B).

Creatinine ≤ institutional upper limit of normal AND calculated creatinine
clearance ( ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine levels above
institutional normal)
Urine dipstick for protein of less than +1; for dipsticks of +1 or more, 24-hour
urine for protein is necessary and should be < 1 g/24 hours
3.1.11 Eligibility of patients receiving any medications or substances known to affect or
with the potential to affect the activity or pharmacokinetics of cediranib and
dasatinib will be determined following review of their case by the Principal
Investigator or Co-Investigator (see Appendix A for further information).
3.1.12 The effects of cediranib and dasatinib on the developing human fetus are
unknown. However, teratogenic effects and reduced fetal body weight have
been seen in pregnant rats and/or rabbits given both compounds. For this
reason and because antiangiogenic agents are known to be teratogenic, if it is
appropriate men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier
method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the entire
duration of study participation.
3.1.13 Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.
3.2 Exclusion Criteria
3.2.1
History of any malignancy in the last 5 years. Patients with prior history of in
situ cancer, or non-metastatic basal or squamous cell skin cancer are eligible.
Patients with other malignancies are eligible if they were cured by definitive
primary therapy alone and have been continuously disease free for at least 5
years.
3.2.2
Patients with any condition (e.g., gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an
inability to take oral medication or a requirement for IV alimentation, active
peptic ulcer disease, short gut syndrome, malabsorption syndrome of any type,
total or partial bowel obstruction or inability to tolerate oral medications) that
potentially impairs their ability to swallow or absorb are excluded.
3.2.3
Use of specifically prohibited CYP3A4-active agents or substances is not
permitted during protocol treatment, and patients who must continue treatment
with these agents are not eligible. A list of prohibited CYP3A4-active agents as
well as a list of medications to be used with caution is provided in Appendix A.
20
Prohibited drugs should be discontinued fourteen (14) days prior to the
administration of the first dose of cediranib and dasatinib and for 14 days
following discontinuation of cediranib and dasatinib (unless otherwise specified in
Appendix A).
3.2.4
Patients may not be concurrently receiving any other investigational agents.
3.2.5
Unresolved toxicity > CTC grade 2 (except alopecia) from previous anticancer
therapy.
3.2.6 Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar
chemical or biologic composition to cediranib or dasatinib are excluded.
3.2.7 Patients with resting BP consistently higher than, systolic > 150 mmHg and/or
diastolic > 100 mmHg (in the presence or absence of a stable dose of antihypertensive medication) or poorly controlled hypertension, history of labile
hypertension or poor compliance with anti-hypertensive medication.
3.2.8 Patients with QTc prolongation (defined as a QTc interval greater than or equal
to 480 msec by Fridericia correction) or other significant ECG abnormalities (i.e.
clinically significant arrhythmias requiring medication, conduction delays such
as 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular blocks, etc) are ineligible.
3.2.9
Patients with any meningeal metastases or untreated known brain metastases
should be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and
because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would
confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events. Patients with
treated brain metastasis with radiologic and clinical evidence of stability, with
no evidence of cavitation or hemorrhage in the brain lesions, are eligible
providing that they are asymptomatic and do not require corticosteroids (must
have discontinued steroids at least 1 week prior to randomization).
3.2.10 Patients with any of the following conditions are excluded:
3.2.10.1 Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture.
3.2.10.2 History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intraabdominal abscess within 28 days of treatment.
3.2.10.3 Any history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within the last 6 months.
3.2.10.4 Prophylactic low-dose warfarin is permitted, but close monitoring of
INR must be performed. Baseline INR must meet the inclusion criteria
(Section 3.1.10). Note: Low molecular weight heparin is permitted.
21
3.2.10.5 History of symptomatic cardiac dysfunction within the last 12 months
including unstable angina, congestive heart failure (Class III or IV heart
failure as defined by the NYHA functional classification system (see
Appendix C)), myocardial infarction or ventricular tachyarrhythmia
within 6 months, major conduction abnormality (unless a cardiac
pacemaker is present), cardiac angioplasty or stenting or bypass.
Patients with a significant cardiac history, even if controlled, should
have a LVEF of > institutional normal range by ECHO or MUGA prior to
study entry.
Patients with any cardiopulmonary symptoms of unknown cause (e.g.
shortness of breath, chest pain, etc.) should be evaluated by a baseline
echocardiogram with or without stress test as needed in addition to
electrocardiogram (EKG) to rule out QTc prolongation. The patient may
be referred to a cardiologist at the discretion of the principal
investigator. Patients with underlying cardiopulmonary dysfunction
should be excluded from the study.
3.2.10.6 Patients who have an active pleural or pericardial effusion of any grade
should be excluded.
3.2.10.7 Patients with active or uncontrolled infections, or with serious illness or
medical conditions which would not permit the patient to be managed
according to the protocol.
3.2.10.8 Patients with known immunodeficiency syndrome.
3.2.11 HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible
because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with cediranib or
dasatinib. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections
when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be
undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when
indicated.
3.2.12 Any clinical or radiological evidence of severe or uncontrolled interstitial lung
disease (bilateral, diffuse, parenchymal lung disease) or current unstable or
uncompensated respiratory conditions. Patients with current or history of
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are not eligible.
22
3.3 Inclusion of Minorities
Men of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.
This study is designed to include minorities as appropriate. However, the trial is not
designed to measure differences in intervention effects. The population of Southern
Ontario is ethnically diverse and the proportions of different ethnic groups in the
community is provided in the table below. Universal access to health care will ensure
that there is no discrimination on the basis of race or gender (Guide to Canadian
Human Rights Act: www.chrc-ccdp.ca/public/guidechra.pdf ). Individual hospital
registries and databases do not routinely collect racial data, under the direction of the
Canadian Human Rights Code.

4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES
4.1 General Guidelines
Following registration, patients should begin protocol treatment within 3 days.
Issues that would cause treatment delays should be discussed with the Principal
Investigator. If a patient does not receive protocol therapy following registration,
the patient’s registration on the study may be canceled. The Central Office Study
Coordinator should be notified of cancellations as soon as possible.
Patients can be registered and agent may be shipped only after the initial IRB
approval for the participating site has been forwarded by the Coordinating Center
to the CTEP PIO ([email protected]).
24
4.2 Registration Process




Prior to registering a patient, each institution must have submitted all
necessary regulatory documentation to the PMH Phase I Consortium Central
Office. The eligibility checklist CRF will only be sent once this has been
received.
No patient can receive protocol treatment until registration with the Central
Office has taken place. All eligibility criteria must be met at the time of
registration. There will be no exceptions. Any questions should be addressed
with the Central Office prior to registration.
The eligibility checklist must be completed, and signed by the investigator
prior to registration.
Sites will fax in the signed, completed eligibility checklist and signed deidentified patient consent form to the central office at 416-946-4607. The
central office will then review the checklist and once eligibility has been
confirmed fax or email back a confirmation sheet indicating the unique study
number for the subject and confirmation of entry into the trial. Only after this
confirmation sheet has been received back from central office, can the patient
receive the study drug.
To ensure immediate attention is given to the faxed checklist, each site is advised to
also call the study coordinator listed on the front sheet or call Robin Cheiken in the
Central Office at 416-946-4616 or 416-357-9852 (Blackberry). Patient registration
will be accepted between the hours of 9 am to 5 pm EST Monday to Friday,
excluding Canadian statutory holidays when the central office will be closed.
4.3 Randomization and Stratifications
Patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to cediranib/dasatinib or cediranib alone.
Patients will be stratified according to the presence of soft tissue (visceral, nodal) or
bones only disease.
Patients will be assigned to each arm by a computer-based system. Random
assignment will be made to treatment versus control arms using SAS (version 9.2)
software by the biostatistician.
25
5. TREATMENT PLAN
5.1. Cediranib (AZD2171) and Dasatinib (BMS-34825) Administration

Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. Reported adverse
events and potential risks are described in Section 7. Appropriate dose
modifications for cediranib and dasatinib are described in Section 6. No
investigational or commercial agents or therapies other than those described
below may be administered with the intent to treat the patient’s malignancy.

Patients will receive cediranib with or without dasatinib on an outpatient
basis.

Treatment will start on Cycle 1 Day 1 and each 28-day period will be
considered 1 cycle.

Given this study is the first combination of dasatinib and cediranib, a
safety review, involving a PI conference call, will be performed after entry
of the first 10 patients (either arm) and after entry of first 20 patients
(either arm). At the safety reviews, if > 33% of patients in the
combination arm are found to have > Grade 3 toxicity that is at least
possibly related to study drug, an amendment for dose adjustments of the
study drugs will be considered. Otherwise, the study recruitment will
continue as per normal.
5.1.1 Arm A: Cediranib (AZD2171) Alone
Patients randomized to Arm A will receive cediranib at a dose of 20 mg orally
once daily.
A cycle will be defined as 28 days of treatment.
Cediranib will be administered at 20 mg (one 20-mg tablet) by mouth once per
day continuously at approximately the same time each day. Tablets should be
swallowed whole.
While in an upright position, the patient should swallow the cediranib tablet
with approximately 1 cup (250 mL or 8 oz.) of water. Tablets are to be taken
either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals at approximately the same time each
day. The tablets must not be chewed, crushed, or broken.

weeks]. Patients will be assessed in clinic at least every 4 weeks.
Patients will be provided with a pill diary (Appendix D), instructed in its use, and
asked to bring it with them to each appointment. A new copy of the pill diary
will be given to patients with each new cycle.
5.1.2 Arm B: Cediranib (AZD2171) and Dasatinib (BMS-354825)
Patients randomized to Arm B will receive cediranib at a dose of 20 mg orally
once daily and dasatinib at a dose of 100 mg orally once daily.
A cycle will be defined as 28 days of treatment.
Cediranib will be administered at 20 mg (one 20-mg tablet) by mouth once per
day continuously at approximately the same time each day. Tablets should be
swallowed whole.
Dasatinib will be administered at 100 mg (two 50-mg tablets) by mouth once
per day continuously at approximately the same time each day. Tablets should
be swallowed whole.
While in an upright position, the patient should swallow the cediranib and
dasatinib tablets with approximately 1 cup (250 mL or 8 oz.) of water. Tablets
are to be taken either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals at approximately the
same time each day. The tablets must not be chewed, crushed, or broken.

5.2 General Concomitant Medication and Supportive Care Guidelines
Supportive Care Measures
Routine supportive measures for cancer patients such as erythropoietin,
analgesics, blood transfusions, antibiotics, bisphosphonates, haematopoietic
colony stimulating factors (CSFs) for treatment of cytopenias are permitted.
Their use must be in accordance with the accepted standards such as the
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Guidelines and Cancer Care
Ontario Practice Guideline Initiative (CCO-PGI). If used it should be recorded as a
concomitant medication on the case report forms. The dose modification scheme
must be followed even if CSFs are used i.e. CSF cannot substitute for a required
dose reduction.
The administration of other anticancer therapies or other investigational agents
is not permitted.
Radiation Therapy
If radiation therapy is required to the sole site of measurable disease, the patient
should be considered as having failed treatment and be removed from the study
since they will no longer be evaluable for the treatment effect. In addition, the
need for radiation for progressively symptomatic disease (even if not a sole site)
may be an indicator of treatment failure and the investigator should consider
whether continued therapy is warranted. Patients who develop urgent local
complications in previously documented sites of disease may receive palliative
radiation therapy. Continuation on protocol therapy, if medically appropriate,
will be determined by discussion with the Principal Investigator (via the PMH
Phase I Consortium Central Office 416-946-4616).
Blood Pressure
Frequent blood pressure monitoring is important in patients receiving cediranib.
Experience to date suggests that increases in blood pressure may occur
following dosing with cediranib for a number of weeks and that these increases
may occur relatively quickly. Patients will be provided with a blood pressure
monitoring device and a diary in which to record their twice daily blood pressure
readings for the first cycle [and may be extended depending on clinical indication
(Appendix E). If two successive systolic readings are >140 mmHg OR two
successive diastolic readings are >90 mmHg OR any combination of elevated
systolic and diastolic blood pressure are observed, patients will be instructed to
contact their physician as soon as possible. Patients should seek medical advice
if their BP exceeds 180 mmHg (systolic) or 105 mmHg (diastolic) at any time
28
and should also be encouraged to contact their physician if they are concerned
about any symptoms that may be associated with high blood pressure (e.g.,
headache). Section 6 includes specific guidelines on the management and, if
appropriate, dose modifications for treatment-emergent hypertension.
Blood pressure monitors can be ordered by contacting:

Toronto, ON M5G 2M9
Tel: 416-946-4616
Fax: 416-946-4607
Email: [email protected]
Renal Function
Renal function (creatinine and urinary protein) should be frequently monitored
as suggested by the pathologic changes noted in animal studies and evidence
from studies of other antiangiogenic agents. Specific guidelines for management
of proteinuria are presented in Section 6.3.2.
Cardiac Function
Patients with NYHA functional classification system Class II despite being
controlled with treatment and those with prior central thoracic radiation
therapy including radiotherapy to the heart are at risk for compromised LVEF,
and require increased monitoring for cardiac abnormalities (see Study Calendar,
Section 10).
Adrenal Function
Adrenal gland damage is a potential toxicity of dasatinib. If patients develop
symptoms consist with hypoadrenalism, their physicians should consider
adrenal function testing to rule out this possibility.
Rash
The acneiform rash associated with dasatinib that is seen in some patients
appears to be treatable with standard acne therapies, including topical and oral
antibiotics used to treat acne. Anecdotal reports of improvement have occurred
with any of the following: minocycline, topical tetracycline, topical clindamycin,
topical silver sulfadiazine, diphenhydramine, and oral prednisone (short
course).
Nausea, Vomiting and Diarrhea
The nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea that may occur with dasatinib
administration can generally be managed through the use of appropriate
supportive measures (anti-emetics e.g. 5-HT3 antagonists, benzodiazepines, and
29
prochlorperazine and anti-diarrheal medications e.g. loperamide). These
measures should be instituted promptly at the first instance of loose stools.
Concomitant Medications
Because there is a potential for interaction of cediranib and dasatinib with
strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4, these agents are prohibited during
cediranib with or without dasatinib treatment. See Appendix A for a list of
prohibited agents as well as a list of medications to be used with caution in
patients receiving cediranib with or without dasatinib. Prohibited drugs should
be discontinued fourteen (14) days prior to the administration of the first dose of
cediranib and dasatinib and for 14 days following discontinuation of cediranib and
dasatinib (unless otherwise specified in Appendix A).
The concomitant use of H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors with dasatinib
is not recommended (e.g. famotidine, omeprazole). The use of antiacids should
be considered in place of H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors in patients
receiving dasatinib therapy. If antiacid therapy is needed, the antiacid dose
should be administered two hours before or after the dose of dasatinib. The
Principal Investigator should be alerted if the patient is taking any agent known
to affect or with the potential to affect CYP3A4. The case report form must
capture the concurrent use of all other drugs, over-the-counter medications, or
alternative therapies.
5.2.1 Risk Mitigation for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)



Patients should be evaluated for signs and symptoms of underlying
cardiopulmonary disease prior to initiating dasatinib and during treatment.
Symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) include dyspnea, fatigue,
hypoxia, and edema. Since other medical conditions may also cause these
symptoms, non-invasive procedures (including echocardiogram) should be done
first to rule out more the common etiologies of these symptoms, such as pleural
effusion, pulmonary edema, anemia, and lung infiltration.
Right heart catherization can confirm the diagnosis of PAH. Hypertension is
“pre-capillary” and not a consequence of left heart failure or chronic lung disease
if there is normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (<15 mm Hg) but
elevated pulmonary artery pressure (mean pulmonary artery pressure >25 mm
Hg). Since PAH may be reversible upon discontinuation of dasatinib, a
diagnostic approach of interruption of dasatinib treatment may be considered at
the discreation of the treating physician; however, if PAH is confirmed, dasatinib
should be permanently discontinued.
5.3 Duration of Therapy
30
In the absence of treatment delays due to adverse event(s), treatment may
continue indefinitely or until one of the following criteria applies:
 Disease progression as defined by

Progression of bone lesions on bone scan (defined in section
11.1) confirmed by a second bone scan 3 or more weeks later

Progression of target lesions as per RECIST criteria (defined in
section 11.1)

Clinical deterioration due to increase in burden of disease
NOTE: PSA progression (defined in section 11.1) alone will not
constitute disease progression and patients can remain on study.
However, PSA progression will be recorded as an event and is still
an endpoint as per PCWG2 definition.

Intercurrent illness that prevents further administration of treatment

Unacceptable adverse event(s)

Patient decides to withdraw from the study

General or specific changes in the patient’s condition render the patient
unacceptable for further treatment in the judgment of the investigator
For patients who achieve CR, PR or stable disease on study, study treatment may
continue until disease progression.
As of December 31, 2012, Cediranib supply will be permanently discontinued and
Cediranib will no longer be manufactured. Patients in the combination Cediranib plus
Dasatinib arm (ARM B) who are felt by the Principal Investigator to be deriving
clinical benefit may remain on Dasatinib alone. Patients on Cediranib alone (ARM
A) will be taken off study on December 31, 2012.
5.4 Duration of Follow Up
Patients will be followed for 4 weeks after removal from study or until death,
whichever occurs first. Patients removed from study for unacceptable adverse
events will be followed until resolution or stabilization of the adverse event.
6. DOSING DELAYS/DOSE MODIFICATIONS
6.1. Criteria for Continuing Treatment
31
Patients will be evaluated at each clinic visit during the treatment period to
determine if continued treatment is appropriate. If, at any time during
treatment the evaluation criteria are not met, cediranib and/or dasatinib will be
held or the dose adjusted according to the dose modification criteria stated in
Section 6.2. To begin a new cycle of therapy, subjects must meet the following
criteria:





Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm3 (1 x 109/L)
Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (75 x 109/L)
Blood pressure, if elevated, should be controlled with antihypertensive
medication(s).
Urine dipstick less than 1+ protein or 24-hour urine for protein < 1 g/24 hours
No clinically significant non-hematologic toxicity > intolerable grade 2
6.2. Dose Modifications
6.2.1 Arm A or B: Cediranib and Dasatinib
The dose levels and the general approach to dose modification for Arms A and B
are shown below. AEs should be treated with the appropriate maximum supportive
care, and dose reductions should be clearly documented in the case report form. If
more than one dose reduction of cediranib, the patient must come off protocol
therapy. If more than one dose reduction of dasatinib is required for toxicity, the
patient may continue on cediranib monotherapy alone. Patients are taken off
protocol therapy if cediranib or dasatinib is held for more than 21 days (exceptions
include dose holding for asymptomatic reductions in LVEF, as described in 6.3.3).
Patients requiring dose reductions should not have the dose re-escalated with
subsequent treatments.
If a patient experiences several toxicities and there are conflicting
recommendations, please use the recommended dose adjustment that reduces the
dose to the lowest dose level.

6.3 Management of Selected Adverse Events
6.3.1 Management of Hypertension (For cediranib only)
Increases in blood pressure and cases of hypertension (BP) have been associated
with many drugs acting on the VEGF pathway. The proposed mechanism for this
increase is through inhibition of VEGF-induced peripheral vasodilation.
Hypertension following cediranib treatment has been seen in animal studies as well
as clinical trials. Specific guidance for management of this adverse event is provided
below.

6.3.4
Management of Symptomatic Cardiac Events (For cediranib and
dasatinib)
Discontinue cediranib and dasatinib both if:

A patient has symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF) and a diagnosis of
CHF is confirmed.

A patient has a myocardial infarction.
6.3.5 Management of Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome
(RPLS) (For cediranib and dasatinib)
Cediranib and dasatinib should be held in patients with symptoms/signs suggestive
of RPLS, pending work-up and management, including control of blood pressure.
Cediranib and dasatinib should be discontinued upon diagnosis or RPLS. After
consultation with the Principal Investigator and the NCI Senior Investigator,
consideration of restarting the study may be evaluated in light of any clinical benefit.

Comprehensive Adverse Events and Potential Risks List (CAEPR)
Comprehensive Adverse Events and Potential Risks list (CAEPR)
for Cediranib (AZD2171, NSC 732208)
The Comprehensive Adverse Event and Potential Risks list (CAEPR) provides a single list of reported and/or potential adverse
events (AE) associated with an agent using a uniform presentation of events by body system. In addition to the comprehensive
list, a subset, the Specific Protocol Exceptions to Expedited Reporting (SPEER), appears in a separate column and is identified
with bold and italicized text. This subset of AEs (SPEER) is a list of events that are protocol specific exceptions to expedited
reporting to NCI via AdEERS (except as noted below). Refer to the 'CTEP, NCI Guidelines: Adverse Event Reporting
Requirements' http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/docs/aeguidelines.pdf for further
clarification. Frequency is provided based on 895 patients. Below is the CAEPR for cediranib (AZD2171).
NOTE: Report AEs on the SPEER ONLY IF they exceed the grade noted in parentheses next to the AE in the SPEER. If this
CAEPR is part of a combination protocol using multiple investigational agents and has an AE listed on different SPEERs,
use the lower of the grades to determine if expedited reporting is required.

7.2
Adverse Event Characteristics
CTCAE term (AE description) and grade: The descriptions and grading scales found in the
revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be
utilized for AE reporting. All appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy of the
CTCAE version 4.0. A copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP web site
(http://ctep.cancer.gov).
7.3

“Expectedness”: AEs can be “Expected” (see in Section 7.1 above) or unexpected. Bold
and italicized terms in Sect. 7.1 identify expected events.

Attribution of the AE:
- Definite – The AE is clearly related to the study treatment.
- Probable – The AE is likely related to the study treatment.
- Possible – The AE may be related to the study treatment.
- Unlikely – The AE is doubtfully related to the study treatment.
- Unrelated – The AE is clearly NOT related to the study treatment.
Expedited Adverse Event Reporting
7.3.1 Expedited AE reporting for this study is via AdEERS (Adverse Event Expedited Reporting
System) accessed via the secure CTEP web site
https://webapps.ctep.nci.nih.gov/openapps/plsql/gadeers_main$.startup). The reporting
procedures to be followed are presented in the “NCI Guidelines: Expedited Adverse Event
Reporting Requirements for NCI Investigational Agents” which can be downloaded from
the CTEP web site (http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/adeers.html).
7.3.2 In the rare event when Internet connectivity is disrupted a 24-hour notification is to be
made to NCI by telephone at: 301-897-7497, or 301-897-7402 for CIP studies. An electronic
report MUST be submitted immediately upon re-establishment of internet connection.
Please note that all paper AdEERS forms have been removed from the CTEP website and
will NO LONGER be accepted.
7.3.3 AEs that require notification to the Investigational Drug Branch (IDB) within 24 hours
should be made via the AdEERS web site:
https://webapps.ctep.nci.nih.gov/openapps/plsql/gadeers_main$.startup.
7.3.4 A central processing system has been set up for AdEERS reports. Each site will submit the
electronic version of the AdEERS report to the Lead Group Coordinators (PMH Phase I
Consortium Central Office, Program Manager and Study Coordinator - e-mail addresses are
on the front sheet). Once review by the lead group coordinators has taken place the report
will be forwarded to NCI.

Adverse events with attribution of possible, probable, or definite that occur greater than 30 days after the last
dose of treatment with an agent under a CTEP IND require reporting as follows:
AdEERS 24-hour notification followed by complete report within 5 calendar days for:
 Grade 4 and Grade 5 unexpected events
AdEERS 10 calendar day report:
 Grade 3 unexpected events with hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization
 Grade 5 expected events
Although an AdEERS 24-hour notification is not required for death clearly related to progressive disease, a full report is
required as outlined in the table.
December 15, 2004
Note: All deaths on study require both routine and expedited reporting regardless of causality.
Attribution to treatment or other cause must be provided.

Expedited AE reporting timelines defined:
 “24 hours; 5 calendar days” – The investigator must initially report the AE via AdEERS
within 24 hours of learning of the event followed by a complete AdEERS report within 5
calendar days of the initial 24-hour report.
 “10 calendar days” - A complete AdEERS report on the AE must be submitted within 10
calendar days of the investigator learning of the event.

Any medical event equivalent to CTCAE grade 3, 4, or 5 that precipitates hospitalization (or
prolongation of existing hospitalization) must be reported regardless of attribution and
designation as expected or unexpected with the exception of any events identified as protocolspecific expedited adverse event reporting exclusions.
Any event that results in persistent or significant disabilities/incapacities, congenital
anomalies, or birth defects must be reported via AdEERS if the event occurs following
treatment with an agent under a CTEP IND.
Use the NCI protocol number and the protocol-specific patient ID provided during trial
registration on all reports.


In order to ensure the timely fulfillment of both US and Canadian IND regulatory reporting
requirements, all AdEERS reports must be sent to the PMH Phase I Consortium Central
Office within 3 working days from the date the event was known to the investigator.
In the unlikely event that an adverse event occurs that does not meet the reporting
requirements for AdEERS, but does meet the definition of a Serious Adverse Event, an
AdEERS report must still be completed and sent to the Central Office within 3 working days
48
of the event being known to the investigator. The event must be telephoned or e-mailed to
Central Office within 1 working day.
A Serious Adverse Event is any untoward medical occurrence that meets one or more of the
following criteria:
 Results in death
 Is life threatening
 Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
 Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
 Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
 Is a medically significant event for any reason
The PMH Phase I Consortium Central Office will be responsible for reporting to Canadian
regulatory authorities all Serious Adverse Events that are both unexpected and related to
study drug. The Central Office will notify all Investigators of all Serious Adverse Events
that are reportable to regulatory authorities in Canada from this trial or from other clinical
trials as reported to the Central Office by the NCI U.S.
Investigators must notify their local Research Ethics Boards (REB/IRBs) of all AdEERS
or SAE reports from their center and file the report in their regulatory study binder. In
addition, all reports sent out to centres by the PMH Phase I Consortium Central Office
must be sent to local REB/IRBs. Documentation from the REB/IRB of receipt of these
reportable events must be kept on file in each institution's regulatory binder.


7.4
Events that are clearly consequences of the “main” event (e.g., hypokalemia associated with
diarrhea or the arrhythmias, hypotension, hypoxia, etc. that are known to occur
concurrently with sepsis) may be noted in the Description of Event in the AdEERS report,
and do not require separate AdEERS reports.
The possibility of the contribution of comorbid conditions to the event should be
considered when reporting AEs. Examples include hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes
or headaches and seizures in patients with brain tumors.
Routine Adverse Event Reporting
Those AEs that do not require expedited reporting must be reported in routine (CTMS or
CDUS; see Section 12.1) study data submissions. AEs reported through AdEERS must also
be reported in routine study data submissions.
7.5
Secondary AML/MDS reporting
In addition to all routine AE reporting mechanisms and Cooperative Group-specific
second/secondary malignancy reporting requirements, all new malignant tumors must be
reported through AdEERS whether or not they are thought to be related to previous or current
treatment. All new malignancies should be reported including solid tumors, skin
malignancies, hematologic malignancies, AML/MDS, and in situ-tumors. If no other cause is
evident, an attribution to new primary tumor may be made.
In CTCAE v4.0, the event(s) may be reported as either: 1) Leukemia secondary to oncology
chemotherapy, 2) Myelodysplastic syndrome, 3) Treatment-related secondary malignancy, or
49
4) Neoplasm-other. These events should be reported for as long as the study participants are
followed.

Availability:
Dasatinib is an investigational agent supplied to investigators by the Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis
(DCTD) and is provided to the NCI under a Collaborative Agreement between Pharmaceutical Collaborator and the
DCTD, NCI (see Section 12.3).
Storage: Store the intact bottles at controlled room temperature (15°C-25°C) and protect from light.
Excursions are permitted up to 30 °C.
Stability: Stability studies are ongoing.
Route of Administration: Orally with or without food. Tablets should be swallowed whole and cannot be
crushed or broken.
Potential Drug Interactions:
52
Potent CYP3A4 inducers and inhibitors are prohibited on BMS-354825 trials. BMS-354825 is primarily
metabolized by the human CYP3A4 enzyme.
CYP3A4 substrates known to have a narrow therapeutic index should be administered with caution in
patients receiving BMS-354825.
Systemic antacids (both H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors) are prohibited on BMS354825 trials.
Locally acting antacids can be given up to 2 hours prior or 2 hours following BMS-354825 administration.
BMS-354825 may prolong the QT/QTc interval. Use caution when administering BMS-354825 with other
potential QTc-prolonging medications.
Due to the possibility of CNS, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and cutaneous hemorrhage, avoid using medications
that inhibit platelet function or anticoagulants with BMS-354825.
Special Handling:
BMS-354825 tablets consist of a core tablet (containing the active drug) surrounded by a film coating to
prevent exposure to the active drug substance. If tablets are accidentally crushed or broken, caregivers
should wear disposable chemotherapy gloves. Pregnant women should avoid exposure to crushed and/or
broken tablets.
8.3 Agent Ordering, Accountability, and Returns
8.3.1
NCI supplied agents may be requested by the Principal Investigator (or their authorized
designee) at each participating institution. Pharmaceutical Management Branch (PMB) policy
requires that agent be shipped directly to the institution where the patient is to be treated.
PMB does not permit the transfer of agents between institutions (unless prior approval from
PMB is obtained.) The CTEP assigned protocol number must be used for ordering all CTEP
supplied investigational agents. The responsible investigator at each participating
institution must be registered with CTEP, DCTD through an annual submission of FDA form
1572 (Statement of Investigator), Curriculum Vitae, Supplemental Investigator Data Form
(IDF), and Financial Disclosure Form (FDF). If there are several participating investigators
at one institution, CTEP supplied investigational agents for the study should be ordered
under the name of one lead investigator at that institution.
Agent may be requested by completing a Clinical Drug Request (NIH-986) and faxing it to the
Pharmaceutical Management Branch at (301) 480-4612. For questions about drug orders,
transfers, returns, or accountability call (301) 496-5725 Monday through Friday between
8:30 am and 4:30 pm (ET) or email [email protected]. anytime.
8.3.2 Agent Inventory Records - The investigator, or a responsible party designated by the
investigator, must maintain a careful record of the inventory and disposition of all agents
received from DCTD using the NCI Drug Accountability Record Form (DARF). (See the NCI
Investigator’s Handbook for Procedures for Drug Accountability and Storage.)
53
8.3.3 Drug Returns: Only undispensed clinical supplies should be returned to the PMB.
When it is necessary to return study drug (e.g., sealed bottles remaining when a patient
permanently discontinues protocol treatment, expired bottles recalled by the PMB),
investigators should return the study drug to the PMB using the NCI Return Drug List
available on the CTEP home page (http://ctep.cancer.gov).
Compliance: Patients will be required to return all bottles of study medication at the end of
each cycle. The number of tablets remaining should be documented and recorded on the
Patient’s Pill Diary (see Appendix D).
54
9. CORRELATIVE/SPECIAL STUDIES
9.1 Archival Specimens
Archival tumor specimens will be obtained on all patients for pathology review. The
specimens will also be analyzed for c-Src protein expression and activity. We
hypothesize that sensitivity to dasatinib will depend on the levels of c-Src protein
expression and activity in the pretreatment biopsy samples. To measure these, we
will use a combined immunofluorescence staining protocol labeling total c-Src, Y419
phosphorylated c-Src, and the endogenous src inhibitor c-terminal src kinase (Csk).
Based on the three interrelated markers, we will develop a scoring system to assign
tumors into low and high c-Src activity. Additional biomarkers for VEGF/VEGFR and
Src pathways.
Paraffin embedded archival blocks are preferred. However if blocks cannot be
released, 10 unstained slides 4-5 microns each mounted on positively charged slides
are also acceptable. Please note that if blocks are provided, they will be returned to
the sender at the end of the study.
Archival Specimens should be shipped to:

Fax: (416) 946-2016
Email: [email protected]
Note: Before shipping, fax Archival Tumor Tissue Specimen Requisition to
Anne Eisenhauer @ 416 946 2016
9.2 Bone Resorption Markers
As a secondary objective, we plan to measure bone resorption markers at baseline
and then at the end of cycles 1 and 3 in this study, including serum C-telopeptide
and bone alkaline phosphatase, and we postulate that these biomarkers will
decrease as a result of treatment in both arms, but more pronounced decrease will
be observed in the combination arm of cediranib and dasatinib compared to
cediranib alone.
55
To avoid variations in C-telopeptide measurements (influenced by both food intake
and circadian rhythms) blood will be obtained early morning from fasting subjects
with the serum separated and frozen. These specimens will be analyzed for both Ctelopeptide and bone-specific alkaline phosphate on commercial clinical assays.
Blood should be collected in red top BD Vacutainer (1 tube 10 mL volume - PLEASE
ALLOW 1 HOUR TO CLOT BEFORE CENTRIFUGATION) with serum aliquoted
equally in 3 orange top cyrovials (2mL each). The cryovials (labelled) should be
frozen (at -20C) and sent for long-term storage in liquid nitrogen (vapor phase 150C) before bone turnover marker analysis.
Bone resportion markers specimens should be sent to:

9.3 Quality of Life Questionnaires and Pain Assessment
Quality of life and pain assessment will be evaluated at baseline and every 4 weeks
in this study, using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P)
questionnaire (Appendix F) and the Present Pain Intensity (PPI) scale from the
McGill-Melzack questionnaire (Appendix G). FACT-P is a multidimensional, selfreport quality of life instrument specifically designed for use with prostate cancer
patients.(49) It consists of 27 core items which assess patient function in four
domains: Physical, Social/Family, Emotional, and Functional well-being, which is
further supplemented by 12 site-specific items to assess for prostate related
symptoms. It is a validated questionnaire to measure quality of life in men
undergoing therapy for prostate cancer. Pain assessment will be performed using
the PPI from the McGill-Melzack questionnaire,(50), which is a 5-point scale, asking
about the current pain level the patient is experiencing.
56
10. STUDY CALENDAR
Baseline evaluations are to be conducted within 1 week prior to administration of
protocol therapy. Scans (CT and MUGA) and x-rays must be done 28 days prior to
registration. In the event that the patient’s condition is deteriorating, laboratory
evaluations should be repeated within 48 hours prior to initiation of the next cycle of
therapy. Pre-study physical examination, performance status and laboratory tests
should be done within 7 days prior to start of treatment.
A minus 1 day time window for On Treatment study assessments is permitted.
Evaluation of response will follow the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2
(PCWG2) criteria as described in section 11. The timing and scheduling for each of the
investigations is described below:

11. MEASUREMENT OF EFFECT
11.1
Antitumor Effect – Solid Tumors
Progression will be evaluated in this study using The Prostate Cancer Clinical
Trials Working Goup 2 (PCWG2) criteria(1), which is a composite endpoint of
PSA, bone scan, and CT scan assessments, as define as follow:
PSA: Progression is defined as an increase in PSA >25% and > 2ng/mL above the
nadir value which is confirmed by a second value 3 or more weeks later after the
first 12 weeks on study. Ignore early rises (prior to 12 weeks) in determining
PSA response.
Target Lesions: Measurable lesions are not required for considering progression.
The new international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1) [Eur J Ca 45:228-247,
2009] (see Section 11.1.1 to11.1.4 below) will be used to record soft tissue
lesions (nodal and visceral soft tissue sites should be recorded separately). Only
lymph nodes > 2 cm in diameter should be used to assess for a change in size.
Primary tumor site: Presence of disease should be confirmed with directed
pelvic imaging (e.g. CT, MRI).
Bone lesions: Progression is defined as the appearance of > 2 new lesions.
Ambiguous results should be confirmed by other imaging modalities.
For the purposes of this study, patients should be re-evaluated for response
every 12 weeks. In addition to a baseline scan, confirmatory scans should also
be obtained 4 to 8 (not less than 4) weeks following initial documentation of
objective response.
11.1.1 Definitions
Evaluable for toxicity. All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the time
of their first treatment with cediranib +/- dasatinib.
59
Evaluable for objective response. Only those patients who have measurable
disease present at baseline, have received at least one cycle of therapy, and
have had their disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for
response. These patients will have their response classified according to the
definitions stated below. (Note: Patients who exhibit objective disease
progression prior to the end of cycle 1 will also be considered evaluable.)
Evaluable Non-Target Disease Response. Patients who have lesions present
at baseline that are evaluable but do not meet the definitions of measurable
disease, have received at least one cycle of therapy, and have had their
disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for non-target disease.
The response assessment is based on the presence, absence, or unequivocal
progression of the lesions.
11.1.2 Disease Parameters
Measurable disease. Measurable lesions are defined as those that can be
accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be
recorded) as >20 mm by chest x-ray, as >10 mm with CT scan, or >10 mm
with calipers by clinical exam. All tumor measurements must be recorded in
millimeters (or decimal fractions of centimeters).
Note: Tumor lesions that are situated in a previously irradiated area might
or might not be considered measurable.
Malignant lymph nodes.
As per PCWG2 criteria, to be considered
pathologically enlarged and measurable, a lymph node must be >20 mm in
diameter when assessed by spiral CT scan.
Non-measurable disease. All other lesions (or sites of disease), including
small lesions (longest diameter <10 mm or pathological lymph nodes with
<20 mm in diameter are considered non-measurable disease. Bone lesions,
leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusions, lymphangitis
cutis/pulmonitis and abdominal masses (not followed by CT or MRI), are
considered as non-measurable.
Note: Cystic lesions that meet the criteria for radiographically defined simple
cysts should not be considered as malignant lesions (neither measurable nor
non-measurable) since they are, by definition, simple cysts.
‘Cystic lesions’ thought to represent cystic metastases can be considered as
measurable lesions, if they meet the definition of measurability described
above. However, if non-cystic lesions are present in the same patient, these
are preferred for selection as target lesions.
60
Target lesions. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per
organ and 5 lesions in total, representative of all involved organs, should be
identified as target lesions and recorded and measured at baseline. Target
lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the longest
diameter), be representative of all involved organs, but in addition should be
those that lend themselves to reproducible repeated measurements. It may
be the case that, on occasion, the largest lesion does not lend itself to
reproducible measurement in which circumstance the next largest lesion
which can be measured reproducibly should be selected. A sum of the
diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions and nodal lesions) for all target
lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum diameters. The
baseline sum diameters will be used as reference to further characterize any
objective tumor regression in the measurable dimension of the disease.
Non-target lesions. All other lesions (or sites of disease) including any
measurable lesions over and above the 5 target lesions should be identified
as non-target lesions and should also be recorded at baseline.
Measurements of these lesions are not required, but the presence, absence,
or in rare cases unequivocal progression of each should be noted throughout
follow-up.
11.1.3 Methods for Evaluation of Measurable Disease
All measurements should be taken and recorded in metric notation using a
ruler or calipers. All baseline evaluations should be performed as closely as
possible to the beginning of treatment and never more than 4 weeks before
the beginning of the treatment.
The same method of assessment and the same technique should be used to
characterize each identified and reported lesion at baseline and during follow-up.
Imaging-based evaluation is preferred to evaluation by clinical examination
unless the lesion(s) being followed cannot be imaged but are assessable by
clinical exam.
Clinical lesions Clinical lesions will only be considered measurable when they
are superficial (e.g., skin nodules and palpable lymph nodes) and 10 mm
diameter as assessed using calipers (e.g., skin nodules). In the case of skin
lesions, documentation by color photography, including a ruler to estimate the
size of the lesion, is recommended.
Chest x-ray Lesions on chest x-ray are acceptable as measurable lesions when
they are clearly defined and surrounded by aerated lung. However, CT is
preferable.
Conventional CT and MRI This guideline has defined measurability of lesions on
61
CT scan based on the assumption that CT slice thickness is 5 mm or less. If CT
scans have slice thickness greater than 5 mm, the minimum size for a measurable
lesion should be twice the slice thickness. MRI is also acceptable in certain
situations (e.g. for body scans).
Use of MRI remains a complex issue. MRI has excellent contrast, spatial, and
temporal resolution; however, there are many image acquisition variables
involved in MRI, which greatly impact image quality, lesion conspicuity, and
measurement. Furthermore, the availability of MRI is variable globally. As with
CT, if an MRI is performed, the technical specifications of the scanning
sequences used should be optimized for the evaluation of the type and site of
disease. Furthermore, as with CT, the modality used at follow-up should be the
same as was used at baseline and the lesions should be measured/assessed on the
same pulse sequence. It is beyond the scope of the RECIST guidelines to
prescribe specific MRI pulse sequence parameters for all scanners, body parts,
and diseases. Ideally, the same type of scanner should be used and the image
acquisition protocol should be followed as closely as possible to prior scans.
Body scans should be performed with breath-hold scanning techniques, if
possible.
PET-CT At present, the low dose or attenuation correction CT portion of a
combined PET-CT is not always of optimal diagnostic CT quality for use with
RECIST measurements. However, if the site can document that the CT
performed as part of a PET-CT is of identical diagnostic quality to a diagnostic
CT (with IV and oral contrast), then the CT portion of the PET-CT can be used
for RECIST measurements and can be used interchangeably with conventional
CT in accurately measuring cancer lesions over time. Note, however, that the
PET portion of the CT introduces additional data which may bias an investigator
if it is not routinely or serially performed.
Ultrasound Ultrasound is not useful in assessment of lesion size and should not
be used as a method of measurement. Ultrasound examinations cannot be
reproduced in their entirety for independent review at a later date and, because
they are operator dependent, it cannot be guaranteed that the same technique and
measurements will be taken from one assessment to the next. If new lesions are
identified by ultrasound in the course of the study, confirmation by CT or MRI is
advised. If there is concern about radiation exposure at CT, MRI may be used
instead of CT in selected instances.
Endoscopy, Laparoscopy The utilization of these techniques for objective
tumor evaluation is not advised. However, such techniques may be useful to
confirm complete pathological response when biopsies are obtained or to
determine relapse in trials where recurrence following complete response
(CR) or surgical resection is an endpoint.
62
Tumor markers Tumor markers alone cannot be used to assess response. If
markers are initially above the upper normal limit, they must normalize for a
patient to be considered in complete clinical response. Specific guidelines for
PSA response (in recurrent prostate cancer) have been published [J Clin
Oncol 26:1148-1159, 2008].
Cytology, Histology These techniques can be used to differentiate between
partial responses (PR) and complete responses (CR) in rare cases (e.g.,
residual lesions in tumor types, such as germ cell tumors, where known
residual benign tumors can remain).
The cytological confirmation of the neoplastic origin of any effusion that appears
or worsens during treatment when the measurable tumor has met criteria for
response or stable disease is mandatory to differentiate between response or stable
disease (an effusion may be a side effect of the treatment) and progressive
disease.
FDG-PET While FDG-PET response assessments need additional study, it is
sometimes reasonable to incorporate the use of FDG-PET scanning to
complement CT scanning in assessment of progression (particularly possible 'new'
disease). New lesions on the basis of FDG-PET imaging can be identified
according to the following algorithm:
a. Negative FDG-PET at baseline, with a positive FDG-PET at follow-up is a
sign of PD based on a new lesion.
b. No FDG-PET at baseline and a positive FDG-PET at follow-up: If the
positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a new site of disease
confirmed by CT, this is PD. If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up is not
confirmed as a new site of disease on CT, additional follow-up CT scans
are needed to determine if there is truly progression occurring at that site
(if so, the date of PD will be the date of the initial abnormal FDG-PET
scan). If the positive FDG-PET at follow-up corresponds to a pre-existing
site of disease on CT that is not progressing on the basis of the anatomic
images, this is not PD.
c. FDG-PET may be used to upgrade a response to a CR in a manner similar
to a biopsy in cases where a residual radiographic abnormality is thought
to represent fibrosis or scarring. The use of FDG-PET in this
circumstance should be prospectively described in the protocol and
supported by disease-specific medical literature for the indication.
However, it must be acknowledged that both approaches may lead to false
positive CR due to limitations of FDG-PET and biopsy
resolution/sensitivity.
Note: A ‘positive’ FDG-PET scan lesion means one which is FDG avid with an
uptake greater than twice that of the surrounding tissue on the attenuation
corrected image.

11.1.4 Response Criteria
11.1.4.1
11.1.4.2
Evaluation of Target Lesions
Complete Response (CR):
Disappearance of all target lesions. Any
pathological lymph nodes (whether target
or non-target) must have reduction in
short axis to <10 mm.
Partial Response (PR):
At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the
diameters of target lesions, taking as
reference the baseline sum diameters
Progressive Disease (PD):
At least a 20% increase in the sum of the
diameters of target lesions, taking as
reference the smallest sum on study (this
includes the baseline sum if that is the
smallest on study). In addition to the
relative increase of 20%, the sum must
also demonstrate an absolute increase of
at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of
one or more new lesions is also
considered progressions).
Stable Disease (SD):
Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for
PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for
PD, taking as reference the smallest sum
diameters while on study
Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions
Complete Response (CR):
Disappearance of all non-target lesions
and normalization of tumor marker level.
All lymph nodes must be non-pathological
in size (<10 mm short axis)
Note: If tumor markers are initially above
the upper normal limit, they must
normalize for a patient to be considered
in complete clinical response.
64
Non-CR/Non-PD:
Persistence of one or more non-target
lesion(s) and/or maintenance of tumor
marker level above the normal limits
Progressive Disease (PD):
Appearance of one or more new lesions
and/or unequivocal progression of
existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal
progression should not normally trump
target lesion status.
It must be
representative of overall disease status
change, not a single lesion increase.
Although a clear progression of “non-target” lesions only is
exceptional, the opinion of the treating physician should prevail in
such circumstances, and the progression status should be confirmed
at a later time by the review panel (or Principal Investigator).
11.1.4.3
Evaluation of Best Overall Response
The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start
of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as
reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements
recorded since the treatment started). The patient's best response
assignment will depend on the achievement of both measurement and
confirmation criteria.

Note:
Patients with a global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of
treatment without objective evidence of disease progression at that time should
be reported as “symptomatic deterioration.” Every effort should be made to
document the objective progression even after discontinuation of treatment.

11.1.5 Duration of Response
Duration of overall response: The duration of overall response is measured
from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first
recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is
objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the
smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).
The duration of overall CR is measured from the time measurement criteria
are first met for CR until the first date that progressive disease is objectively
documented.
Duration of stable disease: Stable disease is measured from the start of the
treatment until the criteria for progression are met, taking as reference the
smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started, including the
baseline measurements.
11.1.6 Progression-Free Survival
Progression free survival (PFS) is defined as the duration of time from start
of treatment to progression (as defined above), death or last contact, or last
tumor assessment before the start of further antitumor therapy. PFS is
primary endpoint of this study
11.1.7 Response Review
All objective response will independently be reviewed centrally at PMH,
using images free of marks that might obscure the lesions or bias the
evaluation of the reviewer.

13. STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
13.1
Study Design/Endpoints
This is a multicenter, randomized, phase II study.
The primary endpoint is the efficacy of cediranib versus cediranib plus dasatinib
in the treatment of docetaxel-resistant, castration resistant prostate cancer using
progression free survival (PFS) as per the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials
Working Group (PCWG2) which is a composite endpoint of PSA, bone scan, and
CT scan assessments.(1)
The control arm (i.e. cediranib alone) is assumed to have a 30% 3-month
probability of PFS as determined by the composite endpoint. The experimental
arm (i.e. cediranib plus dasatinib) will be postulated to have a 60% 3-month PFS.
With 25 patients in each arm, an alpha rate of 0.15 (one-sided), the power would
be 80%. Total sample size = 50 evaluable patients.
For analysis of the primary endpoint, i.e. PFS rate at 3 months will be compared
between the two arms using Z test. This will be performed three months after
the last patient is randomized.
13.2
Sample Size/Accrual Rate
The anticipated accrual rate is 3 patients per month.
13.3
Stratification Factors
Patients will be stratified according to the presence of soft tissue (visceral,
nodal) or bones only disease.
13.4
Analysis of Secondary Endpoints



safety and tolerability of cediranib with or without dasatinib
symptom assessment using the FACT-P questionnaire and PPI scale
laboratory-based biomarkers: bone resorption markers (e.g. c-telopeptide
and bone alkaline phosphatase)
Standard descriptive statistics, such as the mean, median, range and proportion,
will be used to summarize the patient sample and to estimate parameters of
interest. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals will be provided for estimates
of interest where possible. Correlative markers will be investigated for potential
associations with clinical outcomes.
71
It is noted that the number of patients are small and this study is powered to
detect potential differences in the primary endpoint only. It is possible that
statistical testing of secondary endpoints may be statistically significant due to
chance, even if no association exists. Likewise, there is insufficient power to
detect a significant difference if a true, but small, difference exists. All secondary
analyses will be considered exploratory in nature, and are not powered to draw
definitive conclusions. For instance, ANCOVA of change from baseline at 4 weeks
and at 12 weeks in CTC will be evaluated. Since these analyses are exploratory,
no primary hypothesis has been set a priori.
No statistical adjustment of p-values will occur and a p-value of 0.05 or less will
be considered statistically significant.
13.5
Reporting and Exclusions
13.5.1 Evaluation of toxicity. All patients will be evaluable for toxicity from the
time of their first treatment with cediranib with or without dasatinib
13.5.2 Evaluation of response. All patients included in the study must be
assessed for response to treatment, even if there are major protocol
treatment deviations or if they are ineligible. Each patient will be
assigned one of the following categories: 1) complete response, 2) partial
response, 3) stable disease, 4) progressive disease, 5) early death from
malignant disease, 6) early death from toxicity, 7) early death because of
other cause, or 9) unknown (not assessable, insufficient data). [Note: By
arbitrary convention, category 9 usually designates the “unknown” status
of any type of data in a clinical database.]
All of the patients who met the eligibility criteria (with the possible
exception of those who received no study medication) should be included
in the main analysis of the response rate. Patients in response categories
4-9 should be considered to have a treatment failure (disease
progression).
Thus, an incorrect treatment schedule or drug
administration does not result in exclusion from the analysis of the
response rate. Precise definitions for categories 4-9 will be protocol
specific.

Study Title : A Phase 2 Randomized Study of Cediranib (AZD2171) Alone
Compared with the Combination of Cediranib (AZD2171) plus BMS354825 (dasatinib, Sprycel) in Docetaxel Resistant, Castration Resistant
Prostate Cancer
NCI Protocol #: 8476
Local Protocol # PJC-002
This is a clinical trial, a type of research study. Your study doctor will explain the clinical
trial to you. Clinical trials include only people who choose to take part. Please take your
time to make your decision about taking part. You may discuss your decision with your
friends and family. You can also discuss it with your health care team. If you have any
questions, you can ask your study doctor for more explanation.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have prostate cancer that has
progressed despite the continued use of hormone treatment and chemotherapy with
docetaxel.
Why is this study being done?
Cediranib (AZD2171) is an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not yet
been approved by the Health Canada or the US Food and Drug Administration for use in any
cancer. Cediranib (AZD2171) inhibits blood vessel growth in cancers (called “angiogenesis”)
which may be important in the development and growth of castration resistant prostate cancer.
Dasatinib (BMS-354825) is also an investigational or experimental anti-cancer agent that has not
yet been approved by Health Canada or the US Food and Drug Administration for use in your
cancer but is approved to treat certain types of blood cancers. Dasatinib (BMS-354825) inhibits a
protein involved in cancer proliferation and migration termed Src which may be important in the
development and growth of castration resistant prostate cancer.
Laboratory studies on cancer cells suggest that the combination of both drugs, may work
better than either treatment alone. However the anti-cancer effect in humans of the
combination is unknown.
78
The purpose of this study is to find out the potential beneficial effects that the administration of
cediranib (AZD2171) alone or in combination with dasatinib (BMS-354825) has on you and
your prostate cancer.
How many people will take part in the study?
About 50 people will take part in this study. Half will receive cediranib (AZD2171) alone
and the other half will receive cediranib (AZD2171) with dasatinib (BMS-354825).
What will happen if I take part in this research study?
Before you begin the study …
You will need to have the following exams, tests or procedures to find out if you can be in
the study. These exams, tests or procedures are part of regular cancer care and may be
done even if you do not join the study. If you have had some of them recently, they may not
need to be repeated. Usually the amount of blood required is around 10 mL (about twothirds of a tablespoon). This will be up to your study doctor.


Review of your medical history, including when you first found out you had cancer, and the
kinds of treatments that you may have received for cancer
Physical examination including your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate,
temperature), height, weight, and how well you are able to do your day to day activities
(performance status)
 Blood tests to evaluate the electrolytes in your blood and to assess your
bone marrow, kidney and liver function
 Blood test to measure PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) which is often
elevated in prostate cancer
 An ECG (electrocardiogram which is a tracing of the electrical activity of
your heart performed by placing sensors on your skin)
 Urine tests
 CT scans (to evaluate if there is spread of the cancer to lungs, liver and other
organs)
 Bone scan (to evaluate if there is spread of the cancer to the bones)
If the tests and procedures show that you are not eligible to receive cediranib (AZD2171) and
dasatinib (BMS-354825), you will not be able to continue in this research study.
During the study …
If the exams, tests and procedures show that you can be in the study, and you choose to
take part, you will be "randomized" into one of the study groups described below.
Randomization means that you are put into a group by chance. A computer program will
79
place you in one of the study groups. Neither you nor your doctor can choose the group
you will be in. You will have an equal chance of being placed in either group.
If you are in group 1 (also called "Arm A"), you will receive cediranib (AZD2171) at a
dose of 20 mg (1 tablet) orally once daily. This drug may be decreased if you have
bad side effects from taking it.
While in an upright position, you should swallow the tablet with approximately 1
cup (250 mL) of water. The tablet should be taken either 1 hour before or 2 hours
after meals at approximately the same time each day.
If you are in group 2 (also called "Arm B"), you will receive cediranib (AZD2171) at a
dose of 20 mg (1 tablet) orally once daily and dasatinib (BMS-354825) at a dose of
100 mg (2 tablets) orally once daily. Either drug may be decreased if you have bad
side effects from them.
While in an upright position, you should swallow the tablets with approximately 1
cup (250 mL) of water. Tablets should be taken either 1 hour before or 2 hours
after meals at approximately the same time each day. It does not matter which
tablets, cediranib (AZD2171) or dasatinib (BMS-354825), are taken first.
You will receive study drug(s) continuously without break, and every 4 weeks (= 28 days) is
called a cycle. The cycle will be repeated indefinitely until your cancer grows or you have other
problems that necessitate stopping the treatment. Each cycle is numbered in order.
You will be asked to maintain a medication diary for cediranib and dasatinib, and bring it
with you to each visit.
Cycle 1 and beyond.
You will be seen at least every 4 weeks by your study doctors. At each visit the following will be
performed:





History and physical exam
Vital signs
Blood tests to evaluate the electrolytes (minerals which regulate how our
body functions) in your blood and to assess your bone marrow, kidney and
liver function (about 10 mL or 2/3 tablespoon each time)
Blood test to measure PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
An ECG (electrocardiogram which is a tracing of the electrical activity of
your heart performed by placing sensors on your skin)
In addition, CT scans and bone scan will be done every 12 weeks to assess your response to
treatment.
80
If you have had bad side effects from cediranib (AZD2171) or dasatinib (BMS-354825) at the
time you finish taking the medications, your doctor will follow you until those side effects have
resolved.
Research-related tests
The following tests are not part of regular care but are being done because you are taking
part in this study:
 Urine tests to assess if there is any spillage of protein in your urine due to
the study drugs (every 4 weeks)
 Blood test to assess thyroid function (before you start the study and at the
end of 4 weeks and at the end of 8 weeks, and as needed)
 Echocardiogram or MUGA scan to assess how well your heart chambers fill
with blood and pump it to the rest of the body (before you start the study,
and as needed)
 Blood test to evaluate bone resorption markers (the effect of the
medications on what is happening in your bones) (the test will be done
before you start the study and at the end of 4 weeks and at the end of 12
weeks). The amount of blood required is about 1 tablespoon.
 Tumor samples that were removed previously by biopsy or by surgery so
that research studies can be done to better understand the nature of cancer
and how patients respond to the study treatment (before you start the
study)
 Questionnaires to evaluate your quality of life and pain status (before you
start the study and then every 4 weeks)
How long will I be in the study?
You will be asked to take cediranib (AZD2171) with or without dasatinib (BMS354825) for as long as your prostate cancer does not progress. You will also be seen
four weeks after the treatment has ended.
The researcher may decide to take you off this study if:
 your cancer grows despite the treatment
 you are not able to tolerate the treatment or its side-effects
 new information becomes available and the treatment is no longer in your
best interest
 your doctor no longer feels that this is the best treatment for you
Can I stop being in the study?
Yes. You can decide to stop at any time. Tell the study doctor if you are thinking about
stopping or decide to stop. He or she will tell you how to stop safely.
81
It is important to tell the study doctor if you are thinking about stopping so any risks from
cediranib (AZD2171) and/or dasatinib (BMS-354825) can be evaluated by your doctor.
Another reason to tell your doctor that you are thinking about stopping is to discuss what
follow-up care and testing could be most helpful for you.
The study doctor may stop you from taking part in this study at any time if he/she believes it is in
your best interest; if you do not follow the study rules; or if the study is stopped.
What side effects or risks can I expect from being in the study?
You may have side effects while on the study. Everyone taking part in the study will be
watched carefully for any side effects. However, doctors don’t know all the side effects that
may happen. Side effects could range from mild to moderate but could also be severe and
life-threatening or even fatal. . Your health care team may give you medicines to help lessen
side effects. Many side effects go away soon after you stop taking cediranib (AZD2171) or
dasatinib (BMS-354825). In some cases, side effects can be serious, long lasting, or may
never go away.
You should talk to your study doctor about any side effects that you have while taking part in the
study.
Since cediranib (AZD2171) and dasatinib (BMS-354825) are both experimental drugs, all
the side effects are not known. Long-term effects of these study drugs are also unknown. If
you experience any symptoms that require treatment between regular clinic/hospital
visits, it is important that you make every effort to return to the clinic/hospital where these
drugs were given. If you need immediate treatment and are unable to return to the
clinic/hospital where the study drugs were given, it is important that you contact your
doctor as soon as possible and seek emergency room care as needed.
There are many drugs (prescription and over the counter medications) and dietary
supplements (including “complementary” or “alternative” medicines), which may interact
with the experimental drugs. Your doctor will review all of the medications and
supplements you are currently taking before starting these experimental drugs. You should
not take any new medications or dietary supplements without discussing it with your
doctor first. You will be given a list of medications you should not take while you are
participating in this study.
Risks and side effects related to cediranib (AZD2171) include:


inflammation (swelling and redness)
Abnormal changes in the brain that can cause a collection of symptoms including
headache, confusion, seizures, and vision loss associated with MRI imaging findings
(RPLS)
Blood clot in a blood vessel (artery)
Frequent blood pressure (BP) monitoring is important when receiving treatment with
cediranib (AZD2171). Experience to date suggests that increases in blood pressure may
occur following dosing with cediranib (AZD2171) for a number of weeks and that these
increases may occur over a relatively short time frame. You will be provided with a blood
pressure monitoring device and a diary in which to record blood pressure readings twice
per day. If two successive systolic readings are > (more or equal to) 140 mmHg OR two
successive diastolic readings are > (more or equal to) 90 mmHg, you should contact your
physician as soon as possible. The systolic number is the top number and is higher than the
bottom or diastolic number. You should contact your physician if you are concerned about
any symptoms that may be associated with high blood pressure (e.g., headache).
Due to the rare but serious risk of decrease in the hearts ability to pump, you will be asked
to under go extra tests - echocardiogram or MUGA (tests that evaluate how well your heart
chambers fill with blood and pump it to the rest of the body) – before you start the study
and then as clinically indicated.

You should avoid grapefruit juice, starfruit, and St. John’s wort while you are taking dasatinib
(BMS-354825). You will be provided a list of medications that should be avoided while you are
on the study.
Tests and Procedure risks:
Risks of Blood Tests:
For most people, needle punctures for blood draws do not cause any serious problems.
However, they may cause bleeding, bruising, discomfort, infections or pain at the needle
site, or dizziness.
ECG/EKG: When you have your heart monitored, you may have itching or get bruising of
the skin where the machine patches are placed.
CT Scan Risks:
During a CT scan, a dye is injected into the veins. This creates sharper images. There is a small
amount of discomfort due to the needle used to inject the dye. Small risks associated with the dye
include: an allergic reaction around the time the contrast dye is given into the veins and
decreased kidney function, which will be monitored using regular blood tests. The amount of
radiation from a CT scan is equivalent to approximately 400 chest x-rays or 3.6 years of
88
background radiation; this does not cause any symptoms. The images produced from the CT
scan outweigh the risks, which are minimal, from the radiation dose.
Bone Scan risks:
During a bone scan a radioactive tracer substance is injected into the vein. Later on a special
camera (gamma) takes pictures of the tracer in the bones. Small risks associated with this
procedure include discomfort due to the needle used to inject the tracer or in very rare occasions
an allergic reaction.
MUGA scan: a special radioactive dye is injected into your blood vessel to study the pumping
action of your heart. Small risks associated with this procedure include discomfort due to the
needle used to inject the tracer or in very rare occasions an allergic reaction.
ECHO: does not involve any injections. A technologist will look at your heart (left side of your
chest) with a special scanner. No significant risks are associated with this procedure.
Reproductive risks:
You should not father a baby while on this study because the drug in this study can affect
an unborn baby. It is important that you and your partner use an adequate birth control
method while on this study and for 8 weeks after you stop taking the study medications
(i.e. birth control pills, condoms, approved contraceptive implant, intrauterine device).
Check with your study doctor about what kind of birth control methods to use and how
long to use them. Some methods might not be approved for use in this study. You must
notify your study doctor immediately if your partner becomes pregnant.
If you have any questions about the risks and side effects, please ask your study doctor.
Are there benefits to taking part in the study?
Taking part in this study may or may not make your health better. While doctors hope
cediranib (AZD2171) alone or the combination with dasatinib (BMS-354825) will be more
useful against cancer compared to the usual treatment, there is no proof of this yet. We do
know that the information from this study will help doctors learn more about cediranib
(AZD2171) or dasatinib (BMS-354825) as a treatment for cancer. This information could
help future cancer patients.
What other choices do I have if I do not take part in this study?
Your other choices may include:



Getting treatment or care for your cancer without being in a study.
Taking part in another study
Getting no treatment
89
 Getting comfort care, also called palliative care. This type of care helps reduce pain,
tiredness, appetite problems and other problems caused by the cancer. It does not treat
the cancer directly, but instead tries to improve how you feel. Comfort care tries to
keep you as active and comfortable as possible.
Talk to your doctor about your choices before you decide if you will take part in this study.
What About Confidentiality?
We will do our best to make sure that the personal information in your medical record will be
kept private. However, we cannot guarantee total privacy. Your personal information may be
given out if required by law. If information from this study is published or presented at scientific

What are the costs of taking part in this study?
The NCI, will supply cediranib (AZD2171) and/ or dasatinib (BMS-354825) to you at no
charge while you take part in this study. The NCI does not cover the cost of getting
cediranib (AZD2171) and/ or dasatinib (BMS-354825) ready and giving it to you, so you or
your insurance company may have to pay for these.
After December 31, 2012, the study drug Cediranib will no longer be made or supplied by
AstraZeneca. Although the drug is being discontinued, there are no safety or activity
90
concerns for the drug. The study doctors feel that the study you are participating in is still
appropriate and scientifically relevant.
On December 31, 2012, all study patients will stop taking the study drug Cediranib. If you
are randomized to the combination Cediranib and Dasatinib arm (ARM B) and receiving
benefit from the study medications, your study doctor will talk to you prior to this date
about your options. It may be possible to continue taking Dasatinib alone on study for as
long as it is felt to be helping you.
If you are randomized to Cediranib alone (ARM A), you will stop taking the study drug
Cediranib on December 31, 2012. Your study doctor will talk to you before this date about
treatment options which may be available to you.
If you become ill or are physically injured as a result of participation in this study, medical
treatment will be provided by your doctor or you will be referred for appropriate medical care. In
no way does signing this consent form waive your legal rights nor does it relieve the
investigators, sponsors or involved institutions from their legal and professional responsibilities.

When drugs classified as ‘substrates’ are co-administered with Dasatinib and Cediranib, there is the
potential for higher concentrations of the ‘substrate’. When Dasatinib and Cediranib is co-administered
with compounds classified as ‘inhibitors’, increased plasma concentration of Dasatinib and Cediranib is
the potential outcome. The coadministration of ‘inducers’ would potentially lower plasma Dasatinib and
Cediranib concentrations.

Patient Initials________________________________ Patient Study ID ________________
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE PATIENT:
1. Your blood pressure readings have two numbers. The first number is the pressure in your blood vessels
during a heart beat (systolic), and the second number is the pressure in the vessels when the heart rests in
between beats (diastolic). These numbers are usually written with a slash in between them (for example,
normal blood pressure is 120/80).
2. Record the date, then record your blood pressure twice each day using a home blood pressure monitor:
 each morning while you are resting or reading (not while you are active: dressing, making breakfast,
etc.)
 each evening at bedtime or while you are relaxing during the evening
3. If you take your blood pressure at other times of the day, please record the numbers and time under “Other
readings.”
4. If your systolic pressure is greater than 140 or your diastolic blood pressure is greater than 90 twice in a row
measured several hours apart, please contact your doctor’s office at _______________________________ for
instructions.
5. Please bring this form to every clinic visit or appointment.

APPENDIX H: DATA MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES
Case Report Form Submission Schedule
Data required for the study will be collected in Case Report Forms provided by the
PMH Phase 1 Consortium Central Office. The site will be required to complete a
paper Eligibility Checklist case report form (CRF) at the time of patient registration.
All other data will be collected on electronic case report forms (eCRFs) in the
Medidata Rave system. Site staff access to Medidata Rave will be initiated at the
time of site activation. The form submission schedule is outlined below.

Final Report Form
Case Report Form Completion
The paper Eligibility Checklist CRF must be completed using black ink. Any errors
must be crossed out so that the original entry is still visible, the correction clearly
indicated and then initialed and dated by the individual making the correction.
eCRFs will be completed according to the schedule noted above and all relevant
supporting documentation such as scans, progress notes, nursing notes, blood work,
pathology reports, etc., will be submitted to the PMHC Phase 1 Consortium Central
Office for review. All patient names or other identifying information will be
removed prior to being sent to the Central Office and the documents labeled with
patient initials, study number and the protocol number.
eCRF completion guidelines are available for all sites.
Monitoring
 Central data monitoring will take place throughout the trial at the Central Office. Onsite monitoring will be performed at least once a year at some participating sites
111

during which a subset of PMHC studies will be picked for on-site monitoring.
Data in the Medidata Rave eCRFs will be monitored on a regular basis and
quality assurance measures will be performed. Electronic data queries as well as
paper query letters may be issued to the site prior to the quarterly submission of
data to CDUS.
Patient Registration
 Refer to Section 4 of the protocol
Regulatory Requirements
 Please submit all required documents to the PMH Phase 1 Consortium Central Office.
 Canadian Principal investigators must submit a completed Qualified Investigator
Undertaking.

All investigators must have a current NCI investigator number on file with the PMH
Phase 1 Consortium Central Office.
 All investigators must have an up-to-date CV on file with the PMH Phase 1
Consortium Central Office.
 Laboratory certification/accreditation and normal ranges are required
 Confirmation of all investigators having undergone training in the Protection of
Human Research Subjects is required. It is preferred that other staff involved in the
trial also undergo such training.
 Investigators and site staff are required to complete Medidata eCRF training modules
depending on delegated tasks
 OPRR assurance numbers for each institution are required
 Consent forms must be reviewed by the Central Office before submission to the local
ethics regulatory board (REB/IRB) and must include a statement that 1. information
will be sent to and 2. medical records will be reviewed by the PMH Phase 1
Consortium Central Office.
 A Membership list of the local ethics board is required.
 A copy of the initial approval letter from the ethics board must be submitted to the
PMH Phase I Consortium Central Office.
 A completed Site Participant List/Training Log is required and must be submitted to
the PMH Phase I Consortium Central Office.
 Continuing approval will be obtained at least yearly until follow-up on patients is
completed and no further data is being obtained for research purposes.
Data Safety
A Data Safety and Monitoring Board, an independent group of experts, will be
reviewing the data from this research throughout the study to see if there are
unexpected or more serious side effects than described in the consent.

APPENDIX I
CTEP MULTICENTER GUIDELINES
If an institution wishes to collaborate with other participating institutions in
performing a CTEP sponsored research protocol, then the following guidelines
must be followed.
Responsibility of the Protocol Chair
 The Protocol Chair will be the single liaison with the CTEP Protocol and
Information Office (PIO). The Protocol Chair is responsible for the coordination,
development, submission, and approval of the protocol as well as its subsequent
amendments. The protocol must not be rewritten or modified by anyone other
than the Protocol Chair. There will be only one version of the protocol, and each
participating institution will use that document. The Protocol Chair is responsible
for assuring that all participating institutions are using the correct version of the
protocol.
 The Protocol Chair is responsible for the overall conduct of the study at all
participating institutions and for monitoring its progress. All reporting
requirements to CTEP are the responsibility of the Protocol Chair.
 The Protocol Chair is responsible for the timely review of Adverse Events (AE) to
assure safety of the patients.
 The Protocol Chair will be responsible for the review of and timely submission of
data for study analysis.
Responsibilities of the Coordinating Center
 Each participating institution will have an appropriate assurance on file with the
Office for Human Research Protection (OHRP), NIH. The Coordinating Center is
responsible for assuring that each participating institution has an OHRP assurance
and must maintain copies of IRB approvals from each participating site.
 Prior to the activation of the protocol at each participating institution, an OHRP
form 310 (documentation of IRB approval) must be submitted to the CTEP PIO.
 The Coordinating Center is responsible for central patient registration. The
Coordinating Center is responsible for assuring that IRB approval has been
obtained at each participating site prior to the first patient registration from that
site.
 The Coordinating Center is responsible for the preparation of all submitted data
for review by the Protocol Chair.
 The Coordinating Center will maintain documentation of AE reports. There are
two options for AE reporting: (1) participating institutions may report directly to
CTEP with a copy to the Coordinating Center, or (2) participating institutions
report to the Coordinating Center who in turn report to CTEP. The Coordinating
Center will submit AE reports to the Protocol Chair for timely review.
 Audits may be accomplished in one of two ways: (1) source documents and
research records for selected patients are brought from participating sites to the
113
Coordinating Center for audit, or (2) selected patient records may be audited onsite at participating sites. If the NCI chooses to have an audit at the Coordinating
Center, then the Coordinating Center is responsible for having all source
documents, research records, all IRB approval documents, NCI Drug
Accountability Record forms, patient registration lists, response assessments
scans, x-rays, etc. available for the audit.
Inclusion of Multicenter Guidelines in the Protocol
 The protocol must include the following minimum information:
 The title page must include the name and address of each participating
institution and the name, telephone number and e-mail address of the
responsible investigator at each participating institution.
 The Coordinating Center must be designated on the title page.
 Central registration of patients is required. The procedures for registration
must be stated in the protocol.
 Data collection forms should be of a common format. Sample forms should
be submitted with the protocol. The frequency and timing of data submission
forms to the Coordinating Center should be stated.
 Describe how AEs will be reported from the participating institutions, either
directly to CTEP or through the Coordinating Center.
 Describe how Safety Reports and Action Letters from CTEP will be
distributed to participating institutions.
Agent Ordering
 Except in very unusual circumstances, each participating institution will
order DCTD-supplied investigational agents directly from CTEP.
Investigational agents may be ordered by a participating site only after the
initial IRB approval for the site has been forwarded by the Coordinating
Center to the CTEP PIO.
