Summary

This study is a Phase 1/1b clinical trial that aims to determine the Maximally Tolerated Dose of Losartan and Sunitinib Combination Therapy. Patients will first be accrued to the Dose Escalation phase of the study, using a 3+3 design. Medication dosages will increase until a maximally tolerated dose is found. Patients will then be accrued to the Dose Expansion phase of the trial, where efficacy of pre-determined dose will be preliminarily assessed.

• Antibodies: ≥ 21 days must have elapsed from infusion of last dose of antibody, and toxicity related to prior antibody therapy must be recovered to Grade ≤ 1.

• Corticosteroids: ≥ 14 days must have elapsed since last dose of corticosteroid.

• Hematopoietic growth factors: ≥ 14 days after the last dose of a long- acting growth factor (e.g., pegfilgrastim) or 7 days for short-acting growth factor.

• Interleukins, Interferons and Cytokines (other than hematopoietic growth factors): ≥ 21 days after the completion of interleukins, interferon or cytokines (other than Hematopoietic Growth Factors).

• Stem cell Infusions: Autologous stem cell infusion, including boost infusion: ≥ 42 days.

• Cellular Therapy: ≥ 42 days after the completion of any type of cellular therapy (e.g., modified T cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, etc.)

• XRT/External Beam Irradiation including protons: ≥ 14 days after local XRT; ≥ 150 days after TBI, craniospinal XRT or if radiation to ≥ 50% of the pelvis; ≥ 42 days if other substantial bone marrow radiation.

• NOTE: Patients with history of cardiac irradiation with mean cardiac dose > 15 Gy are not eligible (see exclusion criteria).

8. Adequate bone marrow function, defined as:

• Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 750/mm3

• Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollment).

• Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (with or without transfusion)

9. Adequate renal function, defined as:

• Creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR > 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 OR a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:

Age 2 to <6: Male=0.8, Female=0.8; Age 6 to <10: Male=1, Female=1; Age 10 to <13:

Male=1.2, Female=1.2; Age 13 to <16: Male=1.5, Female=1.4; Age >/= to 16: Male=1.7, Female=1.4

10. Adequate hepatic function, defined as:

• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age

• SGPT (ALT) ≤ 135 U/L. For the purpose of this study, the ULN for SGPT is 45 U/L.

• Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL

11. Adequate cardiac function, defined as:

• Current cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50% by biplane Simpson method on echocardiogram

• QTc ≤ 480 ms

12. Patients with preexisting hyper- or hypothyroidism must be on a stable dose of medication.

13. Ability to take and retain oral medications. NOTE: Medication can be administered via nasogastric or gastrostomy tube.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who underwent major surgery within 14 days prior to start of treatment are not eligible. NOTE: Core biopsy or central line placement are considered minor and are allowed within any time limitations.

2. Patients with uncontrolled coagulopathy or bleeding disorder, or any active bleeding (i.e. gastrointestinal or pulmonary) deemed to be clinically significant by investigator are not eligible.

3. Patients with history of pulmonary embolism or significant thromboembolic event with the preceding 28 days. Patients with thromboembolic events > 28 days before enrollment who are stable on or completed an anticoagulation course are eligible.

4. Patients with history of cardiac irradiation with mean cardiac dose > 15 Gy are not eligible.

5. Patients with symptomatic cardiac disease (i.e. New York Heart Association or Modified Ross Heart Failure Classification for Children > class 2) are not eligible.

6. Patients with any history of cardiac dysfunction including prior abnormal echocardiogram (ejection fraction < 50%), severe or unstable angina, peripheral vascular disease, congenital prolonged QTc syndrome, clinically significant cardiac arrhythmias, stroke, or myocardial infarction are not eligible.

7. Pregnancy

• Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study because there is not yet available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in females who are post-menarchal.

• Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to practice 1 highly effective and 1 additional effective (barrier) method of contraception at the same time during the entire study treatment period and through 3 months after the last dose of study drug, or agree to practice true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Patients who themselves or their partners have undergone female or male sterilization do not require 2 methods of contraception. Highly effective methods are defined as those with <1% failure rate with perfect use and include: oral contraceptive pills (combined or progesterone only), intrauterine devices (IUD), hormonal implant or injection, contraceptive patch, and vaginal ring.

• Investigational Drugs: Patients currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.

• Anti-cancer agents: Patients currently receiving other anti-cancer agents are not eligible.

Patients who require treatment with enzyme inducing anticonvulsants are not eligible (see Appendix III).

• Medications that prolong QTc: Patients who require treatment with medications known to prolong QTc are not eligible
