Testing Lenvatinib in Patients With Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (NCT02780310)

A Phase II Study of Lenvatinib in Patients With Progressive, Recurrent/Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the drug lenvatinib has on the patient and on adenoid cystic carcinoma. This type of cancer study is called a phase II study. Researchers hope to learn if the study drug will shrink the cancer by at least one-quarter compared to its present size. Lenvatinib is an oral medication that can interfere with cancer cell growth and reduce the growth of blood vessels around tumors. This study will help find out if lenvatinib is a useful drug for treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinomas.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (18 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (28 items).

Location: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center — Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Age range: 18 Years

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, definitive radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, or tumor embolization) other than study treatment. Concurrent therapy with bisphosphonates or denosumab for bone metastases is allowed. Palliative radiation to non-target lesions is also allowed.
  • Prior use of lenvatinib.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure \>140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure \> 90 mm Hg \[NCI-CTCAE v4.0\] on repeated measurement) despite optimal medical management.
  • Concurrent use of another investigational drug or device (i.e., outside of study treatment) during, or within 4 weeks of trial entry (signing of the informed consent form).
  • Clinically significant proteinuria:
  • Subjects having \>1+ proteinuria on urinalysis will undergo 24-hour urine collection for quantitative assessment of proteinuria. Subjects with urine protein ≥1 g/24-hour will be ineligible.
  • Active or clinically significant cardiac disease including:
  • Congestive heart failure - New York Heart Association (NYHA) \> Class II.
  • Active coronary artery disease that is not medically treated.
  • Cardiac arrhythmias requiring anti-arrhythmic therapy other than beta blockers or digoxin.
  • Unstable angina (anginal symptoms at rest), new-onset angina within 3 months before registration, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before registration.
