About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of the PARP Inhibitor, Olaparib, in Adult Patients With Recurrent/Metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma Following Failure of Prior Chemotherapy

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial to test the efficacy of Olaparib in adult participants with recurrent/metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma following failure of prior chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives Evaluate the objective response rate of olaparib in adult patients with recurrent and/or metastatic Ewing's sarcoma following failure of conventional chemotherapy.

Secondary Objectives To evaluate the progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety of olaparib in this patient population (ie Number of Participants With Adverse Events). As an exploratory objective, the investigators will evaluate (in subjects who agree to an optional biopsy) differences in pre- and post-treatment tumor DNA alterations and differences in levels of protein and RNA expression related to PARP inhibition.

Study Design Potential subjects who discuss and sign the informed consent form will undergo screening studies. Eligible patients will administer olaparib and obtain restaging imaging studies after 6 and 12 weeks on study, and then every 8 weeks thereafter. Participants will remain on study drug until disease progression, onset of unacceptable toxicities, or subject withdraws consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate of Olaparib

    Number of participants with objective response rate as defined as PR+CR as determined by RECIST vs. 1.1.

    Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-Free Survival

    Number of patients with progression free survival after two years from starting the trial.

    Measured: Two years

  2. Overall Survival

    Number of patients survived for 2 years after enrolling onto this study.

    Measured: Two years

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing a Grade 3 or 4 Clinically Significant and Related Adverse Event

    Adverse events were graded according to CTCAE v.4 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events). Events are graded on a scale of 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = life-threatening, 5 = fatal. Only events that are clinically significant and which the treating investigator considers to be related to administration of olaparib are counted for this outcome measure.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib in people with Ewing's Sarcoma, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 3 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 6 inclusion and 16 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 19 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 May 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?

Objective Response Rate of Olaparib (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01583543, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 May 2017.
