About this study

Official title: Phase II Open-Label Study of Sunitinib Malate (SU011248) in Adult Patients With Metastatic and/or Surgically Unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma

This is an open label single site Phase II clinical trial to identify a potentially promising therapy dose for Sunitinib malate. The study drug will be taken orally once daily on days 1 through 28 of each 42 day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative/acute toxicity.

All patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma (STS): leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) seen at the Moffitt Cancer Center will be screened for eligibility to be enrolled in the study.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label single site Phase II clinical trial to identify a potentially promising therapy dose for Sunitinib malate, an oral multi-kinase inhibitor. The study drug will be taken orally once daily on days 1 through 28 of each 42 day cycle. Treatment will be continued until there is either disease progression or cumulative/acute toxicity which in the opinion of the treating physician or the trial Principal Investigator (PI) compromises the ability of the patient to receive treatment or the patient desires to stop treatment.

All patients with unresectable or metastatic STS: leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and MFH seen at the Moffitt Cancer Center will be screened for eligibility to be enrolled in the study.

An office visit will be required before the beginning of every cycle every 6 weeks to assess toxicity and for physical examination. Complete blood count (CBC) and differential, comprehensive metabolic panel, and electrocardiogram (ECG) will be obtained at every scheduled visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Overall Response (OR)

    Objective Radiographic Response Rate. Response assessments were based on the longest diameter tumor measurements in accordance with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: From On Treatment to Off Study - average of 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Participants' Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time to tumor progression defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression. Response assessments were based on the longest diameter tumor measurements in accordance with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Measured: From On Treatment to Off Study - average of 6 months

  2. Participants' Overall Survival (OS)

    The median OS times (months) for liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and MFH.

    Measured: From On Treatment to Off Study - average of 6 months

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Determine the number of participants who experience Serious Adverse events while on sunitinib malate study.

    Measured: 4 years, 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib Malate (SU011248) in people with Liposarcoma and Leiomyosarcoma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 16 inclusion and 21 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 28 Aug 2012. 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 28 Aug 2012). 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 Overall Response (OR) (time frame: From On Treatment to Off Study - average of 6 months). 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 28 Aug 2012.
