Lay Summary
|
Pazopanib is an unlicensed drug in tablet form that mainly targets the blood vessels supplying tumours and works best alongside other chemotherapy drugs. It attacks the protein on the blood vessels that is thought to be responsible for the resistance to chemotherapy. Paclitaxel is a licensed type of chemotherapy that is used to treat cancers and has been shown not only to shrink cancers but also target the abnormal blood vessels that supply nutrients to the cancer.
The study uses PET (Positron Emission Tomography) scanner along with a very small amount of radioactive substance called "Tracer". As the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the tumour are destroyed there will be less of the tracer seen around the tumour. The PET scanner can detect that and gives us an idea about what is happening to the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the tumour.We collect blood and Biopsy samples from patients and they will later be tested to gain more of an understanding about the way that the chemotherapy works and how good the scans are at detecting the chemotherapy changes.

Who cannot enter the trial
|
1. Poorly controlled hypertension [defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) of =140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of = 90mmHg].
Note: Initiation or adjustment of antihypertensive medication(s) is permitted prior to study entry. BP must be re-assessed on two occasions that are separated by a minimum of 1 hour; on each of these occasions, the mean (of 3 readings) SBP / DBP values from each BP assessment must be <140/90 mmHg in order for a subject to be eligible for the study.
2. Treatment with any of the following anti-cancer therapies:
2.1. Radiation therapy 28 days prior to the first dose of pazopanib OR
2.2. Surgery or tumor embolization within 14 days prior to the first dose of pazopanib OR
2.3. Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, investigational therapy or hormonal therapy within 14 days or five half-lives of a drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of pazopanib
3. Treatment with anti-angiogenic therapy
4. Presence of gross ascites
5. Clinically significant peripheral neuropathy
6. Females of childbearing potential who are unwilling to avoid pregnancy, for the duration of the study
