A Prospective Phase II Efficacy and Safety Study of Anlotinib in Metastatic or Locally Advanced Pheochromocytoma/ Paraganglioma : Open-label Single-arm, Exploratory Trial
China20 participantsStarted 2021-09-14
Plain-language summary
This is an open-label phase II study of an investigational drug, anlotinib in participants with advanced malignant paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma. Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are tumors originating from the adrenal medulla or adrenal diplomatic sensory chain, respectively, which can synthesize and secrete large amounts of catecholamines. In this study, participants whose disease has advanced or spread despite prior standard therapy, will receive anlotinib for 2-weeks followed by a 1-week rest period, until disease progression (PD) or drug toxicity intolerance. Anlotinib is an investigational drug, which has been shown to shrink tumours in several tumour models. The study will evaluate the efficacy as well as the toxicity profile of anlotinib when used as an alternative treatment for participants with PPGL tumours.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Participants with advanced, metastatic, recurrent or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma. Pathology report or pathology slides (H\&E) confirming histological diagnosis must be available at the time of enrollment.
* Must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1.
* ECOG performance status 0-2, life expectancy of at least 6 months
* Adequate organ and marrow function was required (hemoglobin \>= 8.0 g/dL (5.6 mmol/L); absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1500/mm\^3; platelet count \>= 80,000/mm\^3; creatinine =\< 1.5 x ULN or creatinine clearance rate (CCr) ≥60ml/min, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≤2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin (TB) =\< 1.5 X ULN; aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \<= 2.5 x ULN (if there are liver metastases, \<= 5 x ULN); albumin (ALB) ≥25 g/L; urine protein/creatinine ratio =\< 1 OR 24-hour urine protein \< 1.5 gram)
* Blood pressure (BP) \< 150 mmHg (systolic) and \< 90 mmHg (diastolic); initiation or adjustment of BP medication is permitted prior to registration provided that the average of three BP readings at a visit prior to registration is \< 150/90 mmHg; NOTE: all patients with secretory pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma are REQUIRED to: 1) be evaluated in consultation by a hypertension specialist with specific experience in the management of hypertension in the setting of catecholamine-secreting tumors (usually an endocrinologist, nephrologist, or a cardiologist), and in the …
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
