About this study

Official title: Adjuvant Treatment of High Risk Uterine Leiomyosarcoma With Gemcitabine/Docetaxel Followed by Doxorubicin: A Phase II Trial

The purpose of this trial is to study the benefits of giving chemotherapy to women after they have had surgical resection of their primary disease and have no evidence of disease remaining(known as adjuvant therapy). The major objective of this study is to determine the progression free survival. The goal is to prevent relapse or recurrence of their uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Read the detailed description

Patients with a diagnosis of early-stage uterine leiomyosarcoma have a 70% chance of relapse or recurrence of their disease. Patients enrolled in this trial will receive 4 cycles of gemcitabine and docetaxel followed by 4 cycles of adriamycin. Following completion of chemotherapy, they will be have repeat imaging at regular intervals to monitor for disease recurrence along with periodic clinical evaluations.

Being tested
gemcitabine, docetaxel, doxorubicin

What is being measured

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

  1. Two-year Progression-free Survival Among Women Treated With This Adjuvant Regimen for High Risk Uterine LMS

    Measured: Every 3 months up to two years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Tolerability/Toxicity of This Regimen

    Unacceptable toxicity is defined as grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity events that are considered to be treatment-related, excluding alopecia and fatigue.

    Measured: Every 28 days during dosing and then every 3 months thereafter until patient comes off study

  2. Correlation Between Age and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Correlation Between Menopausal Status at Diagnosis and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Correlation Between Uterine Serosal Involvement and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    AJCC Stage I: No serosal involvement AJCC Stage II: No serosal involement AJCC Stage III: Serosal only

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Correlation Between Mitotic Rate and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Mitotic rate is measured in mitoses per 10 high-power fields

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Correlation Between Estrogen Receptor (ER) Status and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Correlation Between Progesterone Receptor (PR) Status and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  8. Correlation Between 1988 FIGO Stage and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Stage I: confined to the uterine corpus Stage II: confined to corpus and cervix Stage IIIA: serosa involvement only (disease could involve the uterine serosa, but patients must have had no other evidence of local spread)

    Measured: 2 years

  9. Correlation Between Estrogen Receptor (ER) or Progesterone Receptor (PR) Positive and Tumor Response to Treatment (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine, docetaxel, doxorubicin in people with Leiomyosarcoma and Uterine Neoplasm, run by Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration at 12 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?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 7 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 1 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 12 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Dec 2014). 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?

Two-year Progression-free Survival Among Women Treated With This Adjuvant Regimen for High Risk Uterine LMS (time frame: Every 3 months up to two years). 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 NCT00282087, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Dec 2014.
