About this study

Official title: A Phase II Multicentric, Randomized Trial Assessing Cryoablation Versus Medical Therapy in Desmoid Tumors Progressing After Watchful Waiting

"Wait \& see" is currently the standard of care of recently diagnosed desmoid tumors (DT). In case of progression or symptomatic disease, medical therapy is nowadays widely used including chemotherapy.

Cryoablation has proven to be beneficial for the treatment of large, progressive and symptomatic DT.

This randomized phase II trial aims to compare cryoablation versus medical therapy in DT patients progressing after the "wait \& see" period. Moreover, a cross-over design has been anticipated to allow all patients to undergo cryoablation if necessary.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of non-progressive disease

    Rates of non-progressive disease (sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) according to modified RECIST criteria)

    Measured: 12 months after treatment initiation (Day 0+12months)

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. Progression-free survival 1

    Progression-free survival 1 (PFS1: from the beginning of cryoablation or medical therapy to first disease progression) in cryoablation and medical therapy group

    Measured: from treatment initiation to PD or 24 months whichever comes first

  2. Rate of patients who cross over to the other arm

    Measured: 24 months after treatment initiation

  3. Rate of complete response

    Rate of complete response at 12 months in cryoablation and medical therapy group with and without a cross-over treatment

    Measured: 12 months after treatment initiation and 12 months after cross-over

  4. Secondary Progression-free survival 2

    Secondary Progression-free survival 2 (PFS 2: from the cross-over to second disease progression) in cryoablation and medical therapy group

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 39 months

  5. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 toxicity scale

    The occurrence of complications and adverse reactions according to the classification of the NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 toxicity scale

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 39 months

  6. QUALITY OF LIFE assessed by EUROQOL EQ 5D before and after treatment

    EUROQOL EQ 5D will be used; score ranging from 1 (good quality of life) to 5 (poor quality of life)

    Measured: Screening visit, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9 and Month 12 after treatment initiation

  7. PAIN assessed by brief pain inventory (BPI) before and after treatment

    BPI will be used; score ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (high pain)

    Measured: Screening visit, Day 0/Day 1, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 9 and Month 12 after treatment initiation

  8. Health economics assessment

    cost and incremental cost utility ratio

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 39 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cryoablation and Chemotherapy drug in people with Desmoid Tumor, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 13 sites in France.

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 15 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Afshin GANGI, MD,PhD (0369550304 ext. 33, afshin.gangi@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of non-progressive disease (time frame: 12 months after treatment initiation (Day 0+12months)). 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 NCT06081400.

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 Nov 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
