Management of the toxicities of common targeted therapeutics for gynecologic cancers.
As precision medicine has become a focus in oncology in recent years, many targeted and biologic agents are being used along with or in place of traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. As these drugs have been developed and some have received FDA approval, we have gained substantial data about the adverse event profiles. However, the management and approach to the toxicities incurred and subsequent complications are often not well understood, especially for physicians who have a varied clinical practice. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the frequency and types of adverse events and appropriate management steps when prescribing modern targeted therapies for gynecologic cancers in the classes of anti-angiogenic agents, poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, and immunotherapy drugs.

Risk of gastrointestinal events with sorafenib, sunitinib and pazopanib in patients with solid tumors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials.
Gastrointestinal (GI) events have been described with sorafenib, sunitinib and pazopanib in cancer patients. We performed an up-to-date meta-analysis to determine the incidence and relative risk (RR) in patients with cancer treated with these agents. PubMed databases were searched for articles published till May 2013. Eligible studies were selected according to PRISMA statement. Summary incidence, RR, and 95% CIs were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models based on the heterogeneity of selected studies. A total of 6,447 patients were available for the meta-analysis; 2,260 had renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 4,187, 1,691 non-small cell lung cancers, 599 hepatocellular cancers, 1,066 breast cancers, 165 neuroendocrine tumors, 304 gastrointestinal stromal tumors and 362 soft tissue sarcomas. Diarrhea was the most common GI event. When stratified by tumor type (RCC vs. non-RCC), the difference among the incidences of GI events was significant for diarrhea (p < 0.001) and vomiting (p = 0.006), that resulted higher in RCC patients. In RCC patients, sorafenib registered the lower incidence and RR of all grades GI events. The difference was statistically significant for sorafenib versus sunitinib-related all and high-grade events (p < 0.001) and for sorafenib versus pazopanib all grades GI events (p < 0.001) and high-grade anorexia (p < 0.001). Treatment with VEGFR TKIs sorafenib, sunitinib and pazopanib is associated with a significant increase in the risk of GI events in patients with cancer, and frequent clinical monitoring should be emphasized when managing these three and newer VEGFR TKIs.

A Phase II study of pazopanib in Asian patients with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is endemic in Asia and angiogenesis is important for growth and progression. We hypothesized that pazopanib would have antiangiogenic activity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.. A single arm monotherapy study of pazopanib in patients with WHO type II/III nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had metastatic/recurrent disease and failed at least one line of chemotherapy. A Simon's optimal 2-stage design was used. Patients with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-2 and adequate organ function were treated with pazopanib 800 mg daily on a 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was clinical benefit rate (CR/PR/SD) achieved after 12 weeks of treatment. Secondary endpoints included toxicity and progression-free survival. Exploratory studies of dynamic-contrast enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT) paired with pharmacokinetics (PK) of pazopanib was done.. Thirty-three patients were accrued. Patients were ECOG 0-1 with median age of 50 years (range 36-68). There were 2 (6.1%) partial responses, 16 (48.5%) stable disease, 11 (33.3%) progressive disease, 4 (12.1%) were not evaluable for response. The clinical benefit rate was 54.5% (95% CI: 38.0-70.2). Ten patients (30.3%) received more than 6 cycles (4 months) of treatment and 7 (21.2%) had PR/SD that lasted at least 6 months. One patient each died from epistaxis and myocardial infarction. Common grade 3/4 toxicities included fatigue (15.2%), hand-foot syndrome (15.2%), anorexia (9.1%), diarrhea (6.1%), and vomiting (6.1%). Serial DCE-CT scans show significant reductions in tumor blood flow, permeability surface area product, and fractional intravascular blood volume.. Pazopanib showed encouraging activity in heavily pretreated nasopharyngeal carcinoma with an acceptable toxicity profile.

Phase I trial of pazopanib in patients with advanced cancer.
The safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical activity of pazopanib (GW786034), an oral angiogenesis inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and c-Kit, were evaluated in patients with advanced-stage refractory solid tumors.. Patients were enrolled into sequential dose-escalating cohorts (50 mg three times weekly to 2,000 mg once daily and 300-400 mg twice daily). Escalation or deescalation was based on toxicities observed in the preceding dose cohort. Pharmacokinetic and biomarker samples were obtained. Clinical response was assessed every 9 weeks.. Sixty-three patients were treated (dose escalation, n = 43; dose expansion, n = 20). Hypertension, diarrhea, hair depigmentation, and nausea were the most frequent drug-related adverse events, the majority of which were of grade 1/2. Hypertension was the most frequent grade 3 adverse event. Four patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities at 50 mg, 800 mg, and 2,000 mg once daily. A plateau in steady-state exposure was observed at doses of >or=800 mg once daily. The mean elimination half-life at this dose was 31.1 hours. A mean target trough concentration (C(24)) >or=15 microg/mL (34 micromol/L) was achieved at 800 mg once daily. Three patients had partial responses (two confirmed, one unconfirmed), and stable disease of >or=6 months was observed in 14 patients; clinical benefit was generally observed in patients who received doses of >or=800 mg once daily or 300 mg twice daily.. Pazopanib was generally well tolerated and showed antitumor activity across various tumor types. A monotherapy dose of 800 mg once daily was selected for phase II studies.

Pazopanib-induced severe acute liver injury: A case report.
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States. Painkillers and fever antipyretics are the most common cause of DILI. Hepatic injury can be provoked by DILI as hepatocellular or cholestatic type.. A 48-year-old woman presented jaundice accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The patient was an inactive hepatitis B carrier with low viral titer and was diagnosed renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with hepatic metastasis requiring pazopanib treatment. Prior to administration of pazopanib, tenofovir administration was started to prevent exacerbation of hepatitis B. The patient was referred to clinic of gastroenterology department due to sudden elevation of bilirubin after 5 weeks of pazopanib treatment.. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography showed non-specific finding other than metastatic nodule in the liver and liver cirrhosis. After then, the patient was performed liver biopsy, and the biopsy result was acute cholestatic hepatitis with centrilobular area necrosis and portal inflammation. Therefore, considering the clinical history and biopsy results, the patient was diagnosed as DILI due to pazopanib.. After the biopsy, empirical steroid therapy was initiated and after 7 weeks of pazopanib discontinuation.. The total bilirubin level returned to normal from peak level of 24.61 to 1.52 mg/dL.. In patients with renal cell carcinoma, pazopanib treatment requires clinical caution as it causes rare complications such as severe jaundice and acute cholestatic hepatitis.
