Trial summary

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy when given with radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV endometrial cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of the Treatment of Advanced Endometrial Cancer With Concurrent Weekly Paclitaxel and Cisplatin and Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of combination chemotherapy when given with radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV endometrial cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety and maximum tolerated doses of paclitaxel and cisplatin when administered with radiotherapy in patients with stage III or IV endometrial cancer.

II. Assess the time to disease progression and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of paclitaxel and cisplatin.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and cisplatin IV on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients also undergo whole abdominal radiotherapy for 5 consecutive days weekly for 6 weeks.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paclitaxel and cisplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are treated at that dose level.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-48 patients will be accrued for part I and 14-20 patients will be accrued for part II of this study.

Being tested
Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, Radiation Therapy

Receives: Drug: Paclitaxel; Drug: Cisplatin; Radiation: Radiation Therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute toxicity for identification of MTD, using the 21 major categories of the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program Common Toxicity Criteria (CTEP CTC) v2.0

    Calculated using a 90% conditional likelihood-based confidence bound.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-radiotherapy

  2. Chronic toxicity based on the NCI CTC Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG)/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) late radiation morbidity scoring scheme

    Measured: Up to 6 months post-radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of dose level combinations that will have been evaluated prior to MTD establishment

    Measured: Up to 60 months

  2. Site (local/distant) of treatment failure

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Paclitaxel, Cisplatin and Radiation Therapy in people with Endometrial Clear Cell Adenocarcinoma and Endometrial Serous Adenocarcinoma, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group 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 19 inclusion and 0 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 31 Dec 2014. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute toxicity for identification of MTD, using the 21 major categories of the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program Common Toxicity Criteria (CTEP CTC) v2.0 (time frame: Up to 30 days post-radiotherapy). 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 31 Dec 2014.
