or a requirement for IV alimentation
- Active peptic ulcer disease

- Total or partial bowel obstruction
- Inability to tolerate oral medications
- No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or
biologic composition to cediranib or dasatinib
- No systolic BP > 150 mmHg and/or diastolic BP > 100 mmHg (with or without stable dose
anti-hypertensive medication), poorly controlled hypertension, history of labile
hypertension, or poor compliance with anti-hypertensive medication
- No QTc prolongation ≥ 450 msec, or other significant ECG abnormalities (i.e.,
clinically significant arrhythmias requiring medication, conduction delays such as
2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular blocks, etc)
- None of the following conditions:
- Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal
abscess within the past 28 days

but not limited to, any of the following:
- Unstable angina
- NYHA class III or IV heart failure

- Cardiac angioplasty, stenting, or bypass
- No active or uncontrolled infections, serious illness, or medical conditions that
would not permit the patient to be managed according to the protocol

- Any number of regimens allowed
- At least 4 weeks since prior hormonal therapy or abiraterone
- If patient was receiving prior LHRH agonists, then therapy must be continued or
restarted
- At least 3 weeks since prior radioisotopes or radiotherapy and recovered
- Concurrent low-dose, nonmyelosuppressive radiotherapy may be allowed
- No prior therapy with angiogenesis or Src or FAK inhibitors
- Prior COX-2 inhibitor in standard dose is not considered antiangiogenic therapy
