Accepts healthy volunteers: no
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: SEQUENTIAL
Intervention model description: The dose escalation will be conducted according to a sequential and adaptive Bayesian scheme, using the method of TITE-CRM to determine the MTD of pazopanib in combination with HDM201. This method allows continual accrual (i.e. the study will be opened to accrual continually) throughout the trial while using the 6-week toxicity endpoint as basis of dose escalation.

Dose allocation will be centrally defined, before each inclusion considering the DLT observed in all patients previously evaluated, and the current toxicity status of patients who have not received a full 2-cycle treatment (i.e. DLT period is still ongoing).

* A cumulative experience of 4 cycles at a given DL is required before allowing dose escalation to the next DL. Cumulative experience is defined as the addition of observation periods of all included and treated patients.
* A maximum of 6 patients can be included and treated at a same dose level before reassessment occurred.
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: This trial is a two-step Phase I/II study comprising:

Part 1: A dose escalation part with the aim to assess the safety of the proposed combination (N= up to 30 patients). In the dose escalation part, eligible patients will be treated with a fixed dose of pazopanib and escalating doses of HDM201.

Part 2: An extension part to collect preliminary data about the clinical activity of the proposed combination according to the 6M-PFR.

Detailed description: This trial is a two-step Phase I/II study comprising:

Part 1: A dose escalation part with the aim to assess the safety of the proposed combination (N= up to 30 patients). The dose escalation will be conducted according to a sequential and adaptive Bayesian scheme using the method of Time-to-event Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) to guide dose escalation and estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose.

In the dose escalation part, eligible patients will be treated with a fixed dose of pazopanib (800 mg/d) and escalating doses of HDM201: 60 mg (starting dose); 80 mg; 100 mg; 120 mg. For a safety reason, a dose level of 40 mg is included in case that the first dose level is found to be toxic. In addition, decrease of pazopanib dosing to 600 mg/d could be appropriate following protocol amendment.

To ensure adequate patient safety during the dose escalation part, there will be a 3-day delay between the first and subsequent patients enrolled in each DL cohort to maximize the safety of enrolled patients.

No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed.

Part 2: An extension part to collect preliminary data about the clinical activity of the proposed combination according to the 6 months Progression Free Rate (6M-PFR).
