Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 7
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This study will investigate whether pazopanib can reduce epistaxis and improve anaemia in subjects with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) at a dose that is well tolerated. The study will have 2 parts. Part A will be an open label, dose-escalation study in which up to 4 cohorts of approximately 6 subjects each will receive increasing doses of pazopanib for a maximum of 12 weeks. The dose in the first cohort will be 50mg per day and the maximum dose in a cohort will be 400 mg per day. Dose escalation will not occur as planned if the predefined safety stopping criteria are met or at least 4 subjects in a cohort have demonstrated efficacy (as measured by epistaxis, haemoglobin, transfusion or iron infusion requirements). If efficacy is demonstrated in Part A with an acceptable safety profile, Part B will be initiated to further define the optimal dose(s) including dose duration/schedule and to provide further support for the proof of mechanism. Approximately 15 subjects will participate and will be randomised to active or placebo in a ratio of 3:2. This part of the study will be double-blind.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Part A will be an open label, dose-escalation study in which 4 cohorts of approximately 6 subjects will receive increasing doses of pazopanib for a maximum of 12 weeks. The dose in the first cohort will be 50mg per day and the maximum dose in a cohort will be 400 mg per day. Dose escalation will not occur if the predefined safety stopping criteria are met or at least 4 subjects in a cohort have demonstrated efficacy. Cohort 4 receiving 400 mg dosing schedule may involve cycles of up to 3 weeks of active treatment, followed by up to 3 weeks wash-out (instead of 12 weeks continuous dosing). Decision will be based on safety data obtained from lower doses arm 2: If efficacy is demonstrated in Part A with an acceptable safety profile, Part B will be initiated to further define the optimal dose(s) including dose duration/schedule and to provide further support for the proof of mechanism. Approximately 15 subjects will participate and will be randomised to active or placebo in a ratio of 3:2. This part of the study will be double-blind
