Sunitinib in Treating Patients With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma |
A Phase II Study of Sunitinib (SU11248; NSC 736511; IND 74019) in Patients With Advanced Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma |
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well sunitinib works in treating patients with advanced malignant mesothelioma of the pleura. |
OBJECTIVES:
- Assess the efficacy of sunitinib malate, in terms of response rate (complete and partial), in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
- Assess the toxicity, safety, and tolerability of this drug in these patients.
- Assess the duration of response or stable disease, stable disease rate, progression-free survival, and median and overall survival rates.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label study. Patients are stratified according to prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (yes vs no).
Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 57 patients will be accrued for this study. |
