About this study

Official title: A Phase II Evaluation of Gleevec(TM) (NCI-Supplied Agent: STI571 [Imatinib Mesylate], NSC# 716051) in the Treatment of Recurrent or Persistent Carcinosarcoma of the Uterus

This phase II clinical trial studies the side effects and how well imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with uterine cancer that has failed to respond to initial chemotherapy or has re-grown after therapy. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the activity of Gleevec^trademark (TM) (imatinib mesylate) as measured by progression-free survival at six months.

II. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse effects of Gleevec^TM in this cohort of patients as assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the distribution of progression-free survival and overall survival.

II. To estimate the objective response rate (partial and complete response as defined under the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria).

III. To determine the effects of prognostic factors such as initial performance status and histological grade.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the levels of expression of v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (c-KIT), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 2 (AKT2), and phosphorylated (p)-AKT2 in archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded primary tumors collected prior to the initiation of first-line chemotherapy

OUTLINE:

Patients receive imatinib mesylate orally (PO) once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) > 6 Months

    Progression is defined according to RECIST v1.0 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since study entry, the appearance of one or more new lesions, death due to disease without prior objective documentation of progression, global deterioration in health status attributable to the disease requiring a change in therapy without objective evidence of progression, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: For those patients whose disease can be evaluated by physical examination, progression was assessed prior to each 28-day cycle. CT scan or MRI if used to follow measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months.

  2. Incidence of Adverse Effects as Assessed by CTCAE v 3.0

    The frequency and severity of all toxicities are tabulated from submitted case report forms and summarized for review.

    Measured: Each cycle during treatment and 30 days after treatment ends.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Tumor Response

    RECIST 1.0 defines complete response as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions and no evidence of new lesions documented by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD. There can be no unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions. Documentation by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart is required. In the case where the ONLY target lesion is a solitary pelvic mass measured by physical exam, which is not radiographically measurable, a 50% decrease in the LD is required. These patients will have their response classified according to the definitions stated above. Complete and partial responses are included in the objective tumor response rate.

    Measured: CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; up to 5 years

  2. Overall Survival

    The observed length of life from entry into the study to death or the date of last contact

    Measured: From study entry to death or last contact, up to 5 years.

  3. Duration of Progression Free Survival

    Progression is defined according to RECIST v1.0 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since study entry, the appearance of one or more new lesions, death due to disease without prior objective documentation of progression, global deterioration in health status attributable to the disease requiring a change in therapy without objective evidence of progression, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; up to 5 years

  4. Initial Performance Status

    Performance Status 0 = Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction Performance Status 1 = Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of light or sedentary nature, e.g., light housework, office work Performance Status 2 = Ambulatory and capable of all self care but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Initial Histologic Grade

    G1 - Highly differentiated adenomatous carcinoma. G2 - Differentiated adenomatous carcinoma with partly solid areas. G3 - Predominantly solid or entirely undifferentiated carcinoma. Not graded - tumor grade not reported.

    Measured: Baseline

A Phase 2 study testing imatinib mesylate and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Uterine Sarcoma and Uterine Carcinosarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 25 inclusion and 11 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 24 Jul 2019. 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 22 May 2015). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) > 6 Months (time frame: For those patients whose disease can be evaluated by physical examination, progression was assessed prior to each 28-day cycle. CT scan or MRI if used to follow measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months.). 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?
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 24 Jul 2019.
