Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma which is refractory to curative therapy or established treatments. Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required. Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: endometrioid adenocarcinoma.
  • All patients must have measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded). Each lesion must be ≥ 20 mm when measured by conventional techniques, including palpation, plain x-ray, CT, and MRI, or ≥ 10 mm when measured by spiral CT.
  • Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1 (Section 11.1). Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy.
  • Patients must have a documented FGFR2 activating mutation either on primary, recurrent or metastatic biopsy. Over 90% of FGFR2 mutations occur at 7 codons. Activating mutations are defined as the known FGFR2 hotspots at S252W, P253R, S373C, Y376C, C383R, N550K, N550H, K660E.
  • Patients who have received one or two prior regimen must have a GOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2. Patients who have received three prior regimens must have a GOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  • Patients must be ≥ 18 years of age.

  • Patients must be able to swallow tablets.
  • Patients must have recovered from the effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy.
  • Patients should be free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated UTI).
  • Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration.
  • Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration.
  • Patients must have had at least one prior chemotherapeutic regimen for management of endometrial carcinoma. Chemotherapy administered in conjunction with primary radiation as a radio-sensitizer will be counted as a systemic chemotherapy regimen. Patients may have received prior anti-angiogenic compounds (i.e., bevacizumab).
  • Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, up to two additional cytotoxic regimens for management of recurrent or persistent endometrial disease according to the following definition:
  • Cytotoxic regimens include any agent that targets the genetic and/or mitotic apparatus of dividing cells, resulting in dose-limiting toxicity to the bone marrow and/or gastrointestinal mucosa.
  • Patients must have adequate bone marrow function defined as:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcl
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcl
  • Hemoglobin > 9 g/dl
  • Patients must have adequate renal function defined as:
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit normal (ULN)
  • Proteinuria must be ≤ 3+ by dipstick at baseline. If the urine dipstick is > 3+, a 24-hour protein level must be performed. The 24-hour protein level must be ≤ 3.5 g/24 hours.
  • Patients must have adequate hepatic function defined as:
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT), and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x ULN

  • Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information.
  • Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test performed 48 hours prior to first dose and be practicing an effective form of contraception during the study and for at least 3 months after receiving the final treatment of ponatinib. Effective contraception is defined as hormonal or barrier method, or abstinence.
  • Patients must have a baseline electrocardiogram completed prior to study entry with QTc ≤ 450 msec. Baseline ECG should be repeated if QTc is found to be > 450 msec. QTc must NOT be > 450 msec on both ECGs performed during the same visit.

Who cannot join

  • Patients must not have had prior therapy with ponatinib or anti-FGFR (fibroblast growth factor receptor) therapy including brivanib, BIBF1120, and E7080.
  • Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, localized cancer of the breast, and localized cancer of the head and neck, are excluded if there is any evidence of the other malignancy being present within the last five years. Patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy.
  • Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis OTHER THAN for the treatment of endometrial cancer within the last five years are excluded. Prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease.
  • Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor OTHER THAN for the treatment of endometrial cancer within the last five years are excluded. Patients may have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease.

  • Patients must not have hyponatremia (sodium < 130mEq/L).
  • Patients must not have active/known HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C.
  • Patients must not have known brain metastases. Patients with known brain metastases will be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurological dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  • Patients must not have a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to ponatinib or other agents used in this study.
  • Patients must not be pregnant or nursing.
  • Patients must not have untreated malabsorption syndrome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ponatinib in people with Endometrial Neoplasms, run by Washington University School of Medicine.

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 33 inclusion and 32 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Tumor responses (CR + PR) (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Dec 2015.
