About this study

Official title: A Phase II Pilot Study of Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine Alternating With Irinotecan and Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma

The outcome of patients with metastatic Ewings Sarcoma is poor with current standard of care chemotherapy, with less than 30% survival. Based on recent encouraging pediatric literature we have designed this trial to improve the outcome of patients with metastatic Ewings sarcoma using Irinotecan and Temozolomide in addition to standard chemotherapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (Partial and Complete Response)

    Response was evaluated every 12 weeks during treatment. Subjects who discontinue treatment for reasons other than disease progression or initiation of new anticancer therapy (excluding radiation therapy and surgery) response evaluated every 6 months following the last dose of study drug. Scans should be obtained every 6 months for up to 2 years (24 months) or until progression of disease or initiation of new anticancer therapy.

    Complete response (CR) Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.

    Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    The intended outcome is a measure of whether participants are alive without disease progression 2 years (24 months) after treatment.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan, Vincristine and Temozolomide in people with Bone Cancer and Ewing's Sarcoma, run by Stanford University 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 12 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 24 Nov 2017. 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 2 Feb 2017). 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?

Overall Response Rate (Partial and Complete Response) (time frame: Up to 24 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 24 Nov 2017.
