Brief summary:
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if dovitinib can help to control inflammatory breast cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Detailed description:
The Study Drug:

Dovitinib is designed bind to a protein on the surface of cancer cells called the FGF receptor. This may slow the growth of cancer cells or kill cancer cells.

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take dovitinib by mouth each day for 5 days and have a 2-day rest period (5 days on/2 days off schedule). The first dose of each week is Day 1. You should take dovitinib in the morning with a glass (about 8 ounces) of water at least 1 hour before or at least 2 hours after eating. It is important that you take the study drug at about the same time every day.

If you forget to take a dose of the study drug as scheduled, or take a dose during your 2-day rest period, you should follow the guidelines below or call your study staff:

* If you take a dose on Day 6, then you will rest on Day 7 and start taking the drug on Day 1.
* If you take a dose on Day 7, then you will skip Day 1 the next schedule and start dosing on Day 2.
* If you take a dose on Day 6 and Day 7, then you will skip Days 1 and 2 of the next schedule and start dosing on Day 3.
* If you missed a dose on Days 1, 2, 3, or 4, you should restart the next dosing day and rest on Days 6 and 7.
* If you missed a dose on Day 5, you should rest on Days 6 and 7, and restart dosing on Day 1 of the next week.

You should not take additional medications including over-the-counter products and herbal/alternative medications during the study without asking your doctor. It is important to avoid medications that are known to cause liver side effects.

If you experience intolerable side effects, the study doctor may give you drugs to help control the side effects.

You should store the study drug at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. The study drug should also be kept away from children.

About every 4 weeks, you will need to bring back your empty or partially used bottles of study drug.

During Treatment:

At every visit, you will be asked if you have had any side effects.

Before each Cycle:

* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

Cycle 1, around Days 8 and 22:

° Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to check your liver function.

Cycle 2 around Day 8:

° Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn to check your liver function.

Every 2 cycles (before Cycles 3, 5, 7, and so on):

* If the doctor thinks it is needed, photographs will be taken of your skin and any areas affected by inflammatory breast cancer.
* If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have x-rays, a CT scan of the chest and/or abdomen, and/or a bone scan.

Before Cycle 3:

* If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) scan to check the status of the disease.
* Blood (about 2 tablespoons) will be drawn for biomarker testing.

You will also have a one-time blood draw (about 1 tablespoon) to measure the level of the study drug in your blood. This sample may be drawn on Days 12 or 26 of Cycle 1, before Cycle 2, or on Day 12 of Cycle 2.

If the doctor thinks it is needed, any of these tests and procedures may be performed earlier. If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have an ECG, ECHO, or MUGA scan to check your heart function.

Length of Study:

You may remain on study for as long as you are benefiting. You will be taken off study treatment if the disease gets worse or you experience intolerable side effects.

Your participation on the study will be over once you have completed the end-of-treatment visit.

End-of-Treatment Visit:

After you are off study, you will have a end-of-treatment visit within 14 days after the last study visit.

* You will be asked if you have had any side effects.
* You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your vital signs.
* Your performance status will be recorded.
* Blood (about 1 tablespoon) will be drawn for routine tests.
* If the doctor thinks it is needed, photographs will be taken of your skin and any areas affected by inflammatory breast cancer.
* If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have x-rays, a CT scan of the chest and/or abdomen, and/or a bone scan.
* If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have an ECG and ECHO or MUGA scan to check your heart function.
* If the doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a PET/CT scan to check the status of the disease.

Follow-up Visits:

You will be called or e-mailed every 3 months for up to 1 year and asked how you are doing.

This is an investigational study. Dovitinib is not FDA approved or commercially available. At this time, dovitinib is only being used in research.

Up to 33 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Rationale: (Be as concise as possible)
Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) is one of the most aggressive forms of primary breast 
carcinoma that accounts for 1-6% of all invasive breast tumors in the United States and Western 
Europe. IBC is distinguished from other types of breast cancer by clinical, pathologic and 
molecular features.  Additional pathologic characteristics of IBC include high grade, negative 
hormone receptor status and overexpression of HER2 and E-cadherin; all of which are poor 
prognostic factors. Molecular features of IBC include mutation of the p53 suppressor gene, and 
an increased expression of proangiogenic factors (basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], 
vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], interleukin [IL]-6 and IL-8).
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) such as VEGF receptors, FGF receptors, and PDGF receptors 
have been shown to play an important role in tumor angiogenesis. VEGF is produced by both the 
host and the cancer cells and has a direct effect on endothelial cells, causing their proliferation, 
migration, invasion, and growth. FGFs are potent stimulators of angiogenesis in both normal and 
pathological tissues, having a direct effect on both vessel assembly and sprouting. A recent 
publication has demonstrated that a blockade of the FGF pathway can overcome resistance to 
VEGFR inhibitors, emphasizing the importance of FGFR and specifically the need for 
multi-targeted inhibitors. PDGF receptors are expressed on pericytes - smooth muscle cells that 
surround the vasculature and provide maintenance and support to the tumor neovasculature. 
Inhibition of these three growth factor receptor kinases should provide a powerful and broad 
inhibition of the angiogenesis process and provide potent antitumor effects. FGF family 
receptors play a critical role in tumorigenesis, morphogenesis, and inducers of angiogenesis. A 
study using tissue microarray comprised a cohort of 880 unselected breast tumors, FGF1 
amplification was observed in 8.7% using chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH), and this 
amplification was an independent predictor of overall survival. A model of spontaneous, highly 
aggressive rat model with presentation and phenotype resembling IBC has been described. This 
model has peculiar characteristics and angiogenesis dependent on the expression of FGF3 and 
FGF-4.
IBC possesses an increase of VEGF, PDGF and other proangiogenic factors as compared with 
non-inflammatory breast cancer. VEGF and FGF inhibitors have low IC50s in in-vitro models. We expect 
that anti-VEGF drug, such as Dovitinib, may have a potential role in HER2 negative IBC setting. 
Dovitinib (dovitinib lactate) is an investigational new drug. Dovitinib inhibits receptor tyrosine 
kinases (RTKs) involved in solid and hematologic cancers, as well as tumor angiogenesis. Based 
upon its potency as an inhibitor of Class III/IV/V RTK signaling both in vitro and in vivo, and 
pharmaceutical properties including high oral bioavailability in three species, dovitinib is being 
studied in clinical trials as a cancer therapeutic.  
The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of dovitinib as single agent in patients with advanced cancer is being 
evaluated in 7 Phase I dose escalation studies.  As of the 18 November 2009 cutoff date, 20 DLTs were 
observed in cycle 1 of dovitinib treatment.  The DLTs included grade 3 
anorexia/nausea/vomiting/diarrhea, grade 4 fatigue, grade 4 neutropenia, grade 3 hypokalemia,  grade 2 


Protocol 2010-0296

sinus bradycardia, and delayed recovery from AST/ALT elevation, increased GGT, hypertensive.  
Subsequently, dovitinib is being studies as a single agent in eight Phase I and one Phase II clinical trials 
designated to characterize safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), phamacodynamics (PD) and 
anti-tumor activity. 
Additionally, in one study, 3 DLTs were reported by the investigators beyond cycle 1 treatment, including 
a grade 3 hypertension (occurred on cycle 2 day 8 in 1 patient at 100 mg/day), a grade 3 anorexia 
(occurred on cycle 2 day 9 in 1 patient at 175 mg/day), and a grade 3 alkaline phosphatase increase 
(occurred on cycle 2 day 29 in 1 patient at 175 mg/day). 
There are four studies that were terminated prior to reaching the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The 
MTD for continuous daily dosing regimen was defined at 400 mg; the MTD for 5 days on/2 days off 
dosing regimen was defined at 500 mg. Based on previous phase I safety data, and ongoing study for 
metastatic breast cancer, we propose a 500 mg daily 5 days on/2 days off schedule for this study.

Statistical Considerations:
This is a phase II study, single arm evaluating the efficacy and safety of dovitinib. The treatment 
plan consists in continuous treatment of dovitinib 500 mg PO daily 5 days on and 2 days off.
The primary endpoint is the six-month overall response rate (ORR) defined as the 
percentage of patients experiencing stable disease, complete or partial response (SD, CR 
or PR) as defined by RECIST. A response is anyone who experiences SD, CR or PR in the 
first 6 months.  In other words, any patient that has not achieved either SD, CR or PR in the first 
6 months will be considered a treatment non-responder. The trial will be conducted by the 
Simon’s two-stage design using the mini-max criterion and the response rate will be 
estimated accordingly.  
It is assumed that dovitinib will have a target ORR of 30%.  An ORR of 10% or lower is 
considered a failure based on the typical ORR with a second line regimen for IBC and the 
new regimen will be rejected under this circumstance.  When the probability of accepting 
a “bad” regimen (i.e. response rate  10%) is 0.05 and the probability of rejecting a “good” 
regimen (i.e. response rate  30%) is also 0.10, Simon’s design to minimize the maximum 
sample size requires 22 patients in the first stage.  If two or less patients respond to the 
treatment, the trial will be stopped and the regimen will be declared as ineffective.  If at 
least three of the first 22 patients respond to the treatment, 11 additional patients will be 
entered in the study to reach a total of 33 patients.  By the end of the study, the new 
regimen will be rejected if response rate is less than or equal to 6 out of 33 patients and 
will be accepted otherwise.  Patient accrual will be suspended in the case when there are 
not at least 3 responders in the first 22 patients and not all 22 patients have been 
evaluated for 6 months. The operating characteristics of the trial are given as follows.  
When the true response rate is 0.10, the probability of stopping the trial early is 62.0%.  
On the other hand, if the true response rate is 0.30, the probability to stop the trial early is 
2.1%.  The expected sample sizes are 26.18 and 32.77 when the true response rates are 
0.10 and 0.30, respectively.  At the end of the study, the overall response rate and the 


Protocol 2010-0296

95% confidence interval will be reported and the toxicity profile of the regimen will be 
summarized.
As a secondary analysis we will evaluate safety by grading each adverse event (e.g., 
neutropenia, neurotoxicity, and CINV) according to CTCAE v4.0 and reporting the type, 
frequency and severity.  In order to understand the relationship of FGF R1, FGF9, FGF, 
and VEGF-R1 signaling in serum and those in the tumor tissue (primary tumor or 
metastasis) with tumor growth, a correlation analysis of the expression levels of the 
biomarkers and tumor size will be conducted.  For each biomarker, baseline expression 
level (EB) and post-treatment expression level (EP) will be determined by 
Immunohistochemistry (IHC).  Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient 
measuring the linear relationship between the percent change in expression level, 
[EB-EP]/EB, and the percent change in tumor size as measured by CT scan will be 
reported along with the associated 95% confidence interval and the p-value for testing 
that the true linear correlation coefficient is non-zero.  A linear model will be used to 
assess the joint impact of down regulation of FGFR-R1 and VEGF-R1 on tumor growth.  
The change in the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC) at baseline as compared to the 
number post-dovitinib will be investigated using a paired t-test.  If the change in CTC is 
not normally distributed based on Shapiro-Wilk test, we will consider a robust 
non-parametric procedure such as the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test.

Protocol Monitoring:
Does this protocol have a schedule for interim and final analysis?
Yes
Provide a summary or schedule of interim analysis.
We will conduct an interim analysis after the first 22 patients following Simon's 2 stage min-max design.
Protocol Monitoring Plan:
Adverse events will be assessed according to the CTCAE version 4.0. All study patients who 
have received any dose of dovitinib will be evaluable for safety.   Unexpected adverse events 
including laboratory adverse events deemed clinically significant by the investigator will be 
graded and recorded.
The ongoing review of safety data will include review of clinical AEs and SAEs. The NCI-CTC 
version 4.0 will be used to grade all AEs.  An AE is an undesirable medical occurrence (sign, 
symptom, or diagnosis) or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition (diabetes, congestive 


Protocol 2010-0296

heart failure, rheumatoid arthritis) that occurs after initiation of investigational product whether 
or not considered to be investigational product related. A worsening of an existing medical 
condition is one that was present at baseline (e.g., cancer, diabetes, migraine headaches, gout) 
and became more severe, more frequent, or increased in duration during investigational product 
treatment.
Reporting Procedures for AEs (>/=2 non-hematological and >/=3 hematological AEs) occurring 
after informed consent signing observed by the investigator or reported by the subject (whether 
or not attributed to investigational product), will be documented to the medical record then 
entered into the case report form. Abnormal laboratory values should not be reported as AEs; 
however, any clinical consequences of the abnormality should be reported as AEs. 
Hospitalization for elective surgery or routine clinical procedures that are not the result of an AE 
(e.g., surgical insertion of central line) need not be considered AEs and should not be recorded as 
an AE. Disease progression should not be recorded as an AE. The Investigator is responsible for 
verifying and providing source documentation for all adverse events and assigning attribution for 
each event for all subjects enrolled on the trial.
All patients will be followed for safety 30 days (+/- 10 days) after the last dose of dovitinib, and  
every 3 months for duration of up to one year or until death, whichever occurs first for response, 
PFS and OS. Patients will be followed a minimum of every 3 months by clinic visit (at MD 
Anderson or a local physician), telephone or e-mail correspondence.
