About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of SU5416 (NSC #696819) in Previously Treated Patients With Advanced, Metastatic and/or Locally Recurrent Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of SU5416 in treating patients who have advanced, metastatic, or recurrent soft tissue sarcomas. SU5416 may stop the growth of soft tissue sarcomas by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate, response duration, and overall survival in patients with advanced, metastatic, or recurrent soft tissue sarcoma or gastrointestinal stromal tumor when treated with SU5416.

II. Determine the safety of SU5416 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive SU5416 IV twice weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months and then every 3 months for 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing semaxanib in people with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor and Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 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?

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 11 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

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 11 Feb 2013.
