About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Intravenous TZT-1027, Administered Weekly Times Two, Every Three Weeks, to Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas (STS) With Prior Exposure to Anthracycline-Based Chemotherapy

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as soblidotin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of soblidotin in treating patients who have advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the objective tumor response rate in patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma with prior exposure to anthracycline-based chemotherapy when treated with soblidotin.
  • Determine the duration of response in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the time to tumor progression in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the median survival time and 12-month survival rate of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the quantitative and qualitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive soblidotin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 27 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing soblidotin in people with Sarcoma, run by Daiichi Sankyo at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 16 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 6 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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 NCT00064220, 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 16 May 2012.
