About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase 2 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Glufosfamide in Previously Treated Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Primary Objective:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcoma as measured by objective response rate

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of glufosfamide in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcoma as measured by duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival
  2. To evaluate the safety of glufosfamide in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcoma

Exploratory Objectives:

  1. To evaluate the biological effect of glufosfamide on the metabolic profile in subjects with advanced soft tissue sarcomas, as determined by FDG-PET
  2. To correlate efficacy endpoints with expression of tumor-associated glucose transporter proteins
Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate

    The event rate was the response rate (complete and partial response) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0). The associated 95% exact binomial confidence intervals were calculated.

    Measured: Tumor assessments were performed at baseline and every 6 weeks until disease progression was documented.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Measured: All subjects were followed regularly until glufosfamide discontinuation, tumor progression or additional antitumor therapy was started and then were followed for survival at 3 month intervals for the first year and once every year thereafter until death.

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: All subjects were followed regularly until glufosfamide discontinuation, tumor progression or additional antitumor therapy was started and then were followed for survival at 3 month intervals for the first year and once every year thereafter until death.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Glufosfamide in people with Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Eleison Pharmaceuticals LLC. at 7 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 13 inclusion and 11 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 25 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 2 Mar 2015). 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?

Objective Response Rate (time frame: Tumor assessments were performed at baseline and every 6 weeks until disease progression was documented.). 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 25 Mar 2015.
