      Background
      Although UFT is approved in eastern countries, most guidelines do not recommend any adjuvant treatment in resected Stage I NSCLC. Pazopanib (P) is a potent, orally active multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of VEGFR-1, -2, -3, platelet derived growth factor (PDGFR) type-α and –β, approved in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and sarcoma. Neoadjuvant P demonstrated single-agent activity in patients with early stage NSCLC. We report the feasibility and tolerance of adjuvant P in stage I NSCLC.

      Methods
      In this double-blind randomized multicenter phase II/III trial, completely resected patients (pts) with stage I NSCLC (7[th] TNM edition) were randomized to receive either placebo or P 800 mg/d during 6 months. The Fleming’s two stage phase II primary endpoint was compliance (i.e. % of pts able to receive at least 3 months of P, whatever the dose). After 64 pts included (interim analysis), IDMC recommended to start with P 400 mg/d because of initial insufficient compliance. A one-step Fleming design was used with the new dose. Phase II design was not comparative.

      Results
      143 pts were randomized in 29 centers between March 2009 and August 2012, 71 and 72 in the placebo and P arms respectively. Most pts were male (61%) and smokers (91%), median age was 60. Pathological stage was IA in 111 pts (78%) and 16% were squamous cell carcinomas. Compliance for P800 was adequate in 38% (95% confidence interval [21-56]) vs. 87% [71-96] in placebo; for P400 in 69% [50-84] (p=0.01, compared to P800) vs. 93% [77-99] in placebo. Dose modifications were seen in 44% and 34% of P800 and P400 groups. The proportion of patient with at least one grade 3/4 toxicity was 53% [35-71] in P800 (13% [4-29] for placebo) and 38% [21-56] in P400 (27% [12-46] for placebo). No toxic deaths were observed. Only 2 pts has grade 4 toxicities in P800 (fatigue in P arm, GGT in the placebo arm). Most common toxicities G3 in P800 were diarrhea (9%), hypertension (9%), and increased transaminases (16% vs. 0% in P400); in P400 gastro-intestinal disorders (16%, 6% diarrhea) and hypertension (6%).

      Conclusion
      IFCT-0703 is the first feasibility study demonstrating that full dose of P is safe but not feasible in the adjuvant setting in NSCLC. Compliance and tolerance with reduced dose appeared acceptable for adjuvant settings.
