About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of ET-743 as Second-Line Therapy in Subjects With Persistent or Recurrent Endometrial Carcinoma

The purpose of this is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational chemotherapy agent in patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be enrolled in the study after all study-specific entry criteria are met and informed consent is obtained. Patients will be required to attend regular clinic visits to receive study medication and have their status monitored. They will also be required to have radiologic tumor assessments performed at multiple times throughout the study. A detailed explanation can be provided by the Investigator conducting this study. Trabectedin 1.3 mg/m2 will be given every 21 days to patients intravenously (i.v). over a 3-hour period via a central venous catheter (referred to as a "central line") which is a tube (ie, catheter) placed into a large vein that is used to administer medications. Dexamethasone 4 mg will be given orally (p.o.) the day before trabectedin and dexamethasone 20 mg will be given i.v. 30 minutes before trabectedin. Dexamethasone 4 mg p.o. will be given for 2 days following trabectedin administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trabectedin and Dexamethasone in people with Endometrial Neoplasms and Uterine Neoplasms, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. at 14 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. 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 8 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United States, Russia, Canada, Netherlands. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with objective response (time frame: Up to approximately 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 8 Jan 2013.
