About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Adjuvant Postoperative Radiation With Cisplatin Followed by Carboplatin/Paclitaxel Chemotherapy Following Total Abdominal Hysterectomy/Bilateral Salpino-Oophorectomy (TAH/BSO) for Patients With Stage I, II and IIIa Malignant Mixed Mesodermal Tumor (MMMT) of the Uterus.

Primary Objectives:

  1. To test whether the addition of chemotherapy to radiotherapy improves the progression-free survival for patients with stage I, II and IIIa malignant mixed mesodermal tumor (MMMT) of the uterus.
  2. To determine the acute and late toxicity profiles associated with this treatment regimen.
  3. To describe the effect of this treatment regimen on the patient's quality of life.
Read the detailed description

Patients in this study will have an operation to remove their uterus, tubes, and ovaries with biopsies of the omentum and lymph nodes before entering this study.

Before treatment starts, patients will have a chest x-ray, computed tomography (CT) scan, blood tests, and a physical exam. Patients who have a history of hearing loss will have a hearing test.

Within 8 weeks after surgery, patients will receive 5 weeks of combination radiation therapy and cisplatin chemotherapy. Radiation and cisplatin will be given on Day 1 or day 2 of each week followed by 4 days of radiation alone. An additional dose of radiation, directed at the surface of the vagina, will be given either during the last week (Week 5) of treatment or after the radiation and cisplatin chemotherapy is finished.

Three to five weeks after radiation therapy and cisplatin chemotherapy is finished, patients will receive additional chemotherapy. Carboplatin and paclitaxel will be given every 28 days for 4 cycles. All chemotherapy is given into the vein through a catheter (tube).

Patients will be taken off study if their disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur. Patients will be seen one month after the last cycle of chemotherapy, then every 3-4 months from then on for 2 years. At each visit, patients will have blood tests and a physical exam. Computed tomography (CT) scans will be ordered only if it is suspected that the disease has come back. All patients will be followed for a maximum of 2 years after their therapy is completed.

This is an investigational study. Cisplatin, Carboplatin and Paclitaxel are FDA approved and commercially available. A total of 49 patients will take part in this study. Up to 25 patients may be enrolled at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, up to 12 patients will be enrolled at MD Anderson Cancer Center, Orlando, and up to 12 patients will be enrolled at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carboplatin, Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in people with Uterine Neoplasms, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 9 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 7 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 15 Sep 2011.
