About this study

Official title: A Phase II Evaluation of Gemcitabine (NSC #613327) and Docetaxel (NSC # 628503) in the Treatment of Recurrent or Persistent Carcinosarcoma of the Uterus

This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent uterine cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the antitumor activity of gemcitabine and docetaxel in patients with recurrent or persistent uterine carcinosarcoma.

II. Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, multicenter study. Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes followed by docetaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-4 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With Objective Tumor Response Rate (Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Using RECIST Version 1.0

    RECIST 1.0 defines complete response as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions and no evidence of new lesions documented by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD. There can be no unequivocal progression of non-target lesions and no new lesions. Documentation by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart is required. In the case where the ONLY target lesion is a solitary pelvic mass measured by physical exam, which is not radiographically measurable, a 50% decrease in the LD is required. These patients will have their response classified according to the definitions stated above. Complete and partial responses are included in the objective tumor response rate.

    Measured: CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesions for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; every 6 months thereafter until disease progression for up to 5 years.

  2. Incidence of Adverse Effects That Are Grade 3 or Greater as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0

    Count of participants with Toxicities maximum grade greater than or equal to grade 3

    Measured: Assessed every 28 days (28 days=1 cycle) while on study treatment, 30 days after the last cycle of treatment, and up to 5 years in follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine Hydrochloride and Docetaxel in people with Recurrent Uterine Corpus Sarcoma and Uterine Carcinosarcoma, 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 35 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 8 Jan 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Patients With Objective Tumor Response Rate (Either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Using RECIST Version 1.0 (time frame: CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesions for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; every 6 months thereafter until disease progression for up to 5 years.). 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 8 Jan 2019.
