SarcomaPhase 2NCT00002492
Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma
A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, doxorubicin hydrochloride and isolated limb perfusion in people with Sarcoma, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cisplatin and doxorubicin in treating patients who have soft tissue sarcoma. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: CLINICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDY OF CHEMOTHERAPY IN SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cisplatin and doxorubicin in treating patients who have soft tissue sarcoma.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response in patients with resectable soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity treated with neoadjuvant intra-arterial cisplatin and IV doxorubicin followed by limb-sparing procedure or amputation, adjuvant IV cisplatin and IV doxorubicin, and radiotherapy. II. Determine the chemotherapeutic response in tumor specimens of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Patients undergo arterial cannulation followed by cisplatin intra-arterially over 4 hours on day 1 and doxorubicin IV (beginning 15 minutes after completion of cisplatin infusion) on days 1-3. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 2 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo amputation or limb-sparing wide excision, as feasible, approximately 4 weeks after the second course. If surgery cannot be scheduled at this time for logistical reasons, a third course may be administered. Patients with an estimated tumor kill of at least 50% receive adjuvant chemotherapy as outlined below. Patients undergoing limb-sparing wide excision receive post-operative radiotherapy as outlined below. Adjuvant chemotherapy: Beginning 3-4 weeks after surgery, patients receive cisplatin IV over 4 hours on day 1 and doxorubicin as above on days 1-3. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression, stable disease, or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergoing radiotherapy receive the final 3 courses of chemotherapy after completion of radiotherapy. Post-operative radiotherapy: Beginning after the first postoperative chemotherapy course and within 8 weeks after surgery, patients receive radiotherapy 5 days a week for 7-8 weeks. An interstitial implant using iridium Ir 192 may be used to administer the final doses of radiotherapy.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing cisplatin, doxorubicin hydrochloride and isolated limb perfusion in people with Sarcoma, run by University of Miami at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Dec 2016.
