About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of ET-743 Therapy in Metastatic Osteosarcoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ecteinascidin 743 in treating patients who have previously treated metastatic osteosarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the partial and complete response rate in patients with previously treated metastatic osteosarcoma when treated with ecteinascidin 743. II. Further characterize the toxicity profile and the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships of this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive ecteinascidin 743 IV over 24 hours. Treatment continues every 6 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression for at least 2-6 courses. Patients with a complete response (CR) receive at least 2 additional courses after documented CR. Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression. All patients are followed until death after disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25-33 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing trabectedin in people with Sarcoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

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 Jun 2013. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

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 19 Jun 2013.
