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 and combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.

About this study

Official title: High-Dose Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide Followed by Melphalan and Cisplatin for Patients With High-Risk and Recurrent 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 and combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of high-dose combination chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have advanced or recurrent sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the feasibility of sequential high-dose chemotherapy with ifosfamide and doxorubicin followed by melphalan and cisplatin, each followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell support, in patients with high-risk or advanced sarcomas. II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine response rate and disease-free and overall survival in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Beginning at least 4 weeks prior to the start of chemotherapy, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily until the completion of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) harvesting. Beginning 5 days after the start of G-CSF, PBSCs are collected over several days. Patients who do not mobilize sufficient cells undergo bone marrow harvest. Regimen A: Patients receive high-dose ifosfamide IV and doxorubicin IV continuously over 96 hours on days -8 to -4. 12.5% of PBSCs or bone marrow are reinfused on day -2 and 37.5% are reinfused on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF IV beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover. Regimen B: Beginning at least 4 weeks after day 1 of Regimen A, patients receive high-dose melphalan IV followed immediately by cisplatin IV on days -11 and -4. Patients receive G-CSF IV on days -10 to -6. 12.5% of PBSCs or bone marrow are reinfused on day -3 and the remaining 37.5% are reinfused on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF IV beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients are followed monthly for 1 year, every 3 months for 1 year, and then as needed for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Grade 3 Bilirubin

    Criteria for early termination of this feasibility study: > 2 patients experience grade 4 or 5 hematologic toxicity or more that 3 patients experience grade 3 hematologic toxicity; > 2 patients experience grade 3 hepatic or gastrointestinal toxicity or > 3 patients are unable to receive the second cycle of treatment; > 2 patients experience grade 5 toxicity related to treatment regimen.

    Measured: 2 years after completion of treatment

  2. Toxicities Counts

    Number of patients with grade 3 and 4 toxicities observed during cycles 1 \& 2 using the Common Toxicity Criteria Version for Chemotherapy.

    Measured: 2 months after completion of second cycle of treatment.

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. 5-year Progression-free Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST), as a 25% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Until disease progression, up to 5 Years

  2. 5-year Overall Survival

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Until death from any cause, up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, cisplatin and doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Sarcoma, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 3 Mar 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Grade 3 Bilirubin (time frame: 2 years after completion of treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002601.

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 3 Mar 2017.
