About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of BAY 43-9006 in Advanced/Recurrent Uterine Carcinoma/Carcinosarcoma

Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. This phase II trial is studying how well sorafenib works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent uterine cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the objective response rate in patients with advanced or recurrent uterine cancer treated with sorafenib.

II. Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (carcinoma vs carcinosarcoma).

Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
sorafenib tosylate

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Overall Response Rate

    Response was defined using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10655437#): Complete Response(CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response(PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR)=CR+PR.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Defined as the time from the first day of therapy to the date of death. If the patient was lost to follow-up, survival was censored on the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Defined as the time from the first day of treatment until the date PD(progressive disease) or death is first reported. Patients who died without a reported prior progression was considered to have progressed on the day of their death. Patients who did not progress was censored at the day of their last tumor assessment. According to RECIST, progressive disease(PD) is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of response was measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR(complete response)/PR(partial response), whichever was first recorded, until the first date that PD(progressive disease) was objectively documented. According to the RECIST: Complete Response(CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response(PR), at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; progressive disease(PD), at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sorafenib tosylate in people with Recurrent Uterine Sarcoma and Stage III Uterine Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 7 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?

The sponsor lists 55 inclusion and 0 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 20 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada. 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 10 Jun 2014). 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?

Objective Overall Response Rate (time frame: Up to 5 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 20 Nov 2015.
