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 combination chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide and doxorubicin in patients with… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Continuous 5 Days Infusion of High Dose Ifosfamide and Adriamycin in Patients With Advanced 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 combination chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide and doxorubicin in patients with advanced sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, time to treatment failure, and survival in patients with advanced soft tissue or gynecological sarcoma treated with high-dose ifosfamide and doxorubicin.

OUTLINE: Patients receive ifosfamide IV continuously on days 1-5 and doxorubicin IV on days 1-3. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously daily beginning 24 hours after completion of ifosfamide infusion and continuing through day 16 (or until day 20 if blood counts have not recovered by day 16). Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at treatment failure and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 16-46 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, doxorubicin hydrochloride and ifosfamide in people with Ovarian Cancer and Sarcoma, run by Swiss Cancer Institute at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 May 2012. 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 Switzerland. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002526, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 May 2012.
