Pazopanib Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Advanced Angiosarcoma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This phase II trial studies how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with advanced angiosarcoma. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the progression free survival (PFS) at 3 months and response rate defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in angiosarcoma patients treated with pazopanib. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess overall survival of patients treated with pazopanib. II. To gather more safety data for pazopanib in this patient population. III. To explore the ability of [F-18] fludeoxyglucose (FDG) (positron emission tomography [PET])/computed tomography (CT) imaging to assess response. OUTLINE: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD). Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PFS Rate | Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. PFS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. | 3 months | 
| Response Rate Defined as CR | Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. Standard estimates of the binomial proportion will be used to estimate and place confidence bounds on the several response rates. | 3 months | 
| Response Rate Defined as Partial Response (PR) | Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Standard estimates of the binomial proportion will be used to estimate and place confidence bounds on the several response rates. | 3 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
