Purpose

This is the first study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of the combination of oral pazopanib, intravenous or oral irinotecan, and oral temozolomide in pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory sarcomas. This study will use a 3 + 3 design for dose escalation (Part 1), followed by an expansion cohort (Part 2) at the recommended phase 2 dose level.

Detailed Description

      The combination of irinotecan and temozolomide is well-tolerated and provides an active
      therapy option for heavily pre-treated patients with sarcoma. The toxicity profile and
      activity level suggest that this combination will provide a useful platform onto which novel
      compounds may be added. Pazopanib has been shown to demonstrate single-agent activity in
      sarcomas in the preclinical and clinical settings. Pazopanib has also been shown to have
      additive or synergistic effects in preclinical models of sarcomas when combined with
      cytotoxic chemotherapy. Pharmacokinetic studies of pazopanib and irinotecan as well as
      pharmacodynamic studies of pazopanib to assess anti-angiogenesis will be performed.
      Exploratory studies to assess non-invasive methods of monitoring tumor response [circulating
      tumor DNA and functional imaging by positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance
      imaging (MRI) will be performed].

Pazopanib, irinotecan, temozolomide (PAZIT)ExperimentalPatients will receive daily oral pazopanib on days 1-21 in a 21-day cycle. This will be combined with intravenous or oral irinotecan and oral temozolomide on days 1-5. Dosing of irinotecan will be from 25 to 37.5 mg/m2/day for IV dosing or from 45 to 67.5 mg/m2/dose for oral dosing and oral temozolomide will be 100 mg/m2/day for dose levels at each assigned dose level. In the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, patients will receive cycles of therapy repeating every 21 days for a maximum of 12 months on study.

             previously received pazopanib. However, patients may have received other vascular
             endothelial growth factor (VEGF) blocking tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Patients must
             have recovered from any VEGF blocking drug-related toxicity (e.g., proteinuria).

             Patients previously treated with irinotecan and/or temozolomide will be eligible for
