Summary

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of temozolomide and pazopanib hydrochloride when given together and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for tumor growth. Giving temozolomide together with pazopanib hydrochloride may be an effective treatment for patients with PNET.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed islet cell carcinoma (PNET) not amenable to surgical resection
  • Patients may have had 0-2 prior therapies; prior chemoembolization or local ablative therapies are permitted if completed >= 6 weeks prior to study enrollment
  • Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = 3 months
  • Patients must have radiographically measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria
  • Patients' baseline blood pressure must be adequately controlled with or without antihypertensive medications prior to enrollment (systolic = 50 as measured by echocardiogram or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA)
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/µL
  • Platelets >= 100,000/µL
  • Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL
  • Total bilirubin = = 2.8 g/dL
  • Serum creatinine = = 1.5 mg/dL, calculated creatinine clearance >= 30 mL/min
  • Urine protein to creatinine ratio = 140/90 mmHg) are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients with uncontrolled hyperlipidemia (total cholesterol > 350 or triglycerides > 300) are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients who have had a transfusion within 7 days of screening are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients with symptomatic brain or bone metastasis (mets) are NOT eligible for participation; prior radiation and/or steroid therapy for brain or bone mets must be completed >= 2 weeks prior to study enrollment
  • Patients with a history of seizure disorder requiring antiepileptic medication or brain metastases with seizures are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients with an active second malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ) are NOT eligible for participation; patients who have a history of malignancy are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed therapy and are now considered by their physician to be at 480 msecs are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients with a history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within the past 6 months prior to study enrollment are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients with a history of any one or more of the following thromboembolic events within the past 6 months prior to study enrollment are NOT eligible for participation:
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Untreated deep venous thrombosis (DVT); subjects with recent DVT who have been therapeutically coagulated for at least 6 weeks ARE eligible
  • Patients who have undergone major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to the first dose of investigational product and/or present with any non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer are NOT eligible for participation; procedures such as catheter placement not considered to be major surgery
  • Patients with known endobronchial lesions and/or lesions infiltrating major pulmonary vessels that increase the risk of pulmonary hemorrhage are NOT eligible for participation
  • Lesions infiltrating major pulmonary vessels (contiguous tumor and vessels) are excluded; however, the presence of a tumor that is touching, but not infiltrating, the vessels is acceptable; CT with contrast is strongly recommended to evaluate such lesions
  • Large protruding endobronchial lesions in the main or lobar bronchi are excluded; however, endobronchial lesions in the segmented bronchi are allowed
  • Lesions extensively infiltrating the main or lobar bronchi are excluded; however, minor infiltrations in the wall of the bronchi are allowed
  • Patients who have had recent hemoptysis (>= 1/2 teaspoon of red blood within 8 weeks before first dose of study drug) are NOT eligible for participation
  • Patients who have any history of allergic reaction(s) attributed to compounds of similar composition to temozolomide, pazopanib, their metabolites, or any component of their formulation are NOT eligible for participation
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating, fertile males, or females of child-bea
