Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to find out if dovitinib is an effective treatment for patients with advanced lung cancer or advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) who have progressed on anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer; Colorectal Cancer	Drug: Dovitinib	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The purposes of this study are 1) to evaluate the clinical efficacy of dovitinib and 2) to prospectively estimate the prevalence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling alterations in patients with advanced non-squamous non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or advanced CRC who have progressed on anti-VEGF treatment. Additionally, the investigators will make exploratory initial observations of the relationship between FGF signaling alterations and the clinical activity of dovitinib. This trial is expected to provide key biologic information that will inform the clinical development of dovitinib and provide initial evaluation of the analytic characteristics of these potential predictive biomarkers of its efficacy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dovitinib; 500 mg of dovitinib (5 capsules) once a day for 5 continuous days and stop for 2 days. Continue to take dovitinib capsules in this manner until until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops.	Drug: Dovitinib; Other Name: TK1258

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 100 months ]
   Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Disease Control Rate [ Time Frame: From start of treatment, up to 8 weeks ]
   The total number of patients who demonstrate a response to treatment. Measured by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
2. Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: From start of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months ]
   The length of time during and after the treatment of the cancer that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse. 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.
3. Number of Patients Who Experienced Treatment Related Toxicities [ Time Frame: Starting at screening and then at every visit and then up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment. ]
   Toxicities will be summarized by the type, severity (by NCI CTCAE), time of onset, duration, and outcome. Toxicity will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer for which no potentially curative treatment options are available
• Any number of prior treatment regimens are allowed
• Immediate prior treatment regimen must have included an anti-VEGF agent. Acceptable anti-VEGF therapy includes bevacizumab, sunitinib, or sorafenib. For other anti-VEGF therapies, contact the principal investigator.
