- • hemoglobin \< 9.0 g/dL;
- • Absolute neutrophil count \< 1500 per mm3;
- platelet count \< 100,000 per mm3;
- INR \> 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN);
- Any of the following serum chemistry or urine abnormalities:
- • total bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN (or \> 2.5 × ULN for subjects with Gilbert's syndrome);
- AST or ALT \> 2.5 × ULN (or \> 5 × ULN for subjects with liver metastasis);
- alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 × ULN (or \> 5 × ULN for subjects with liver or bone metastasis);
- creatinine \> 2.0 × ULN;
- proteinuria \> 3+ by urinalysis;
- Non healing wound, bone fracture, or skin ulcer;
- Active peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, or other gastrointestinal condition with increased risk of perforation; history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 4 weeks prior to administration of first dose of study drug;
- Serious/active infection or infection requiring parenteral antibiotics or antifungal therapy;
- Inadequate recovery from any prior surgical procedure or major surgical procedure within 4 weeks prior to administration of first dose of study drug;
- Significant thromboembolic or vascular disorders or surgery within 6 months prior to administration of first dose of study drug, including but not limited to:
- • deep vein thrombosis;
- • pulmonary embolism;
- • cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack;
- • peripheral arterial ischemia \> Grade 2;
- • coronary or peripheral artery bypass graft;
- Significant bleeding disorders within 6 months prior to administration of first dose of study drug, including but not limited to:
- • hematemesis, hematochezia, melena or other gastrointestinal bleeding ≥ Grade 2;
- hemoptysis or other pulmonary bleeding ≥ Grade 2;
- hematuria or other genitourinary bleeding ≥ Grade 2;
- Currently active second primary malignancy, including hematologic malignancies (leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, etc), other than non melanoma skin cancers, non-metastatic prostate cancer, in situ cervical cancer and ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast. Subjects are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed anti-cancer therapy and have been disease free for \>2 years;
- History of genetic or acquired immune suppression disease such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), subjects on immune suppressive therapy for organ transplant;
- Life-threatening illness or organ system dysfunction compromising safety evaluation;
- Inability to swallow pills, malabsorption syndrome or gastrointestinal disease that severely affects the absorption of tivozanib, major resection of the stomach or small bowel, or gastric bypass procedure;
- Psychiatric disorder or altered mental status precluding informed consent or necessary testing;
- History of significant hypersensitivity, intolerance, or allergy to any drug compound, food, or other substance, unless approved by the Investigator;
- Use of Seville orange- or grapefruit-containing foods or beverages within 72 hours prior to Day 1;
- Poor venous access;
- Any acute or chronic condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would limit the subject's ability to complete and/or participate in this clinical study;
- Sexually active male and pre-menopausal female subjects (and their partners) unless they agree to use adequate contraceptive measures, while on study and for 30 days after the last dose of study drug. All fertile male and female subjects (and their partners) must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception. Highly effective birth control includes (a) IUD plus one barrier method; or (b) two barrier methods. Effective barrier methods are male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides (creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm). Note: Oral, implantable, or injectable contraceptives may be affected by cytochrome P450 interactions, and are not considered effective for this study.
- Drugs and Other Treatments to be Excluded
- Prohibited 4 weeks prior to first dose and for the duration of the study:
- \- Chemotherapy, biological therapy (including cytokines, signal transduction inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies), immunotherapy, experimental therapy or any other therapy for treatment of advanced solid tumors;
- \- Systemic hormonal therapy, with the exception of: i. hormonal therapy for appetite stimulation or contraception; ii. nasal, ophthalmic, inhaled and topical steroid preparations; iii. androgen suppression therapy for non-metastatic prostate carcinoma; iv. hormone replacement therapy for conditions such as adrenal insufficiency, hypothyroidism, etc.; v. low-dose maintenance steroid therapy (equivalent of prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day) for other conditions;
- Prohibited 3 weeks prior to first dose and for the duration of the study:
- \- Treatment with radiotherapy (limited radiotherapy involving ≤ 25% of bone marrow may be allowed for palliative purposes after consultation with the medical monitor, treatment with study drug must be stopped during radiotherapy);
- Prohibited 2 weeks prior to first dose and for the duration of the study:
- Herbal preparations/supplements/topical applications (except for daily multivitamin/mineral supplement not containing herbal components);
- Treatment with CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors (see Appendix C for examples);
- Prohibited 1 week prior to first dose and for the duration of the study:
- \- Treatment with full dose oral anticoagulants such as warfarin, acenocoumarol, fenprocoumon, or similar agents. If previously receiving these types of agents, a minimum washout of 1 week and documented PT of \< 1.5 × ULN will be required prior to start of therapy. Full dose anticoagulation with low molecular weight heparin or unfractionated heparin administered subcutaneously is allowed. Low dose oral anticoagulation (eg, 1-2 mg/day warfarin) is allowed provided PT remains \< 1.5 × ULN during the study.
