Description:
This is a two center, open label, non-randomized Phase II study of lenvatinib in adult
subjects with recurrent or refractory advanced cancers with aberration(s) in FGF/FGFR
signaling. Treatment will consist of daily oral administration of Lenvatinib in 28-day
cycles.

Purpose
This is a two center, open label, non-randomized Phase II study of lenvatinib in adult
subjects with recurrent or refractory advanced cancers with aberration(s) in FGF/FGFR
signaling. Treatment will consist of daily oral administration of Lenvatinib in 28-day
cycles.
Detailed Description
This exploratory, histology-independent study will enroll up to 39 subjects regardless of
FGF/FGFR aberration or cancer type in order to test the hypothesis that subjects with
advanced cancers harboring changes in FGF/FGFR-related genes will respond to the multikinase
inhibitor lenvatinib at a higher rate than unselected cancer patients, regardless of the
tumor histological subtype.
Lenvatinib is a multikinase inhibitor that inhibits FGFR1-4 as well as VEGFR1-3, RET, KIT and
PDGFR-beta. It inhibits FGFR1 with an IC50 of 46 nmol/L, which is highly potent at a
clinically relevant concentration.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and FGF receptor (FGFR) pathway aberrations are common in
malignancy, making this pathway a potentially appealing target for anti-cancer therapy.
Clinical trial data suggest that targeting FGFR is indeed effective in cancer. However, the
majority of such data come from trials in patient populations unselected for FGF/FGFR pathway
abnormalities. The true response rates or clinical benefits for those whose cancers harbor
FGF/FGFR abnormalities may be higher than observed in unselected patient populations.

Lenvatinib | Experimental | The starting dose of lenvatinib will be 24 mg orally per day. The duration of one cycle is defined as 28 days (4 weeks). Subjects will be treated for 2 cycles (8 weeks) and then restaged. Subjects will continue study drug until progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age >= 18 years old
- Pathologically confirmed advanced or metastatic malignancy characterized by one or
more of the following: Subject is intolerant of standard therapy. Malignancy is
refractory to standard therapy. Malignancy relapsed after standard therapy. Malignancy
for which there is no standard therapy that improves survival by at least 3 months.
- Evaluable tumor(s) with documented alteration(s) in FGF/FGFR-related gene(s). The
FGF/FGFR aberration(s) can be identified at any point in the subject's cancer course.
FGF/FGFR testing must have been performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory.
Amplification(s) and/or mutation frequenc(ies) will be defined according to the
standard of the test used. One example, Foundation OneTM, defines amplifications as ≥
6 copies and base substitution mutations as present if there is ≥ 5% mutant allele
frequency.
- Subjects must meet the following laboratory requirements at screening (may be
repeated): Adequate bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mL;
hemoglobin ≥ 8.5 g/dL, platelets ≥ 75,000/mL. Adequate liver function: transaminases
(AST/ALT) and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 (≤ 5 X Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) in the
setting of liver metastasis) x ULN; bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN. Adequate renal function:
creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (Cockcroft Gault). Adequate blood coagulation:
international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 2.3. Serum amylase and lipase ≤ 1.5 x ULN.
- Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP): BP ≤ 150/90 mm Hg at screening (may be
repeated and may be controlled with anti-hypertensive medication).
- Adequate performance status (PS): Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS 0-2
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative baseline blood pregnancy test.
Women and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of
birth control; abstinence) for the duration of study and for at least 30 days after
discontinuation of study drug (the half life of lenvatinib is about 28 hours in
patients with cancer).
- Subjects must be off other anti-tumor agents for at least 5 half lives of the agent or
4 weeks from the last day of treatment, whichever is shorter. Endocrine therapies (for
example for breast or prostate cancer) and anti-Her2 therapies (for example,
trastuzumab or lapatinib) are allowed to continue while on this study.
- Subjects may not be receiving any other experimental agents or agents that are not FDA
approved.
- Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written consent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant or lactating women.
- Subjects with known hypersensitivity to any of the components or metabolites of the
drug product.
- Subjects with FGFR mutations known to be inactivating. Mutations of unknown
significance (based on most currently available information) will be allowed.
- Subjects who have not recovered from toxicities as a result of prior anticancer
therapy, except alopecia and infertility. Recovery is defined as < Grade 2 severity
per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).
- Significant cardiovascular impairment: history of congestive heart failure greater
than New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II, unstable angina, myocardial
infarction or stroke within 6 months of the first dose of study drug, or cardiac
arrhythmia requiring medical treatment at Screening.
- Inability to swallow pills or determination by the investigator that absorption of
oral medication would be impaired.
- Major surgery (not including placement of central lines) within 3 weeks prior to
randomization or planned surgery during the course of this study.
- Any medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude study
participation.
- Subjects who are considered members of a vulnerable population (for example,
prisoners).
