About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Temozolomide and Everolimus (RAD001) Therapy for Metastatic Melanoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving everolimus together with temozolomide works in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Estimate the 9-week progression-free survival rate for patients with stage IV malignant melanoma treated with everolimus and temozolomide.

Secondary

  • Evaluate overall survival time.
  • Evaluate time to disease progression.
  • Evaluate confirmed response rate.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral everolimus once a day on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, and 29-33 and oral temozolomide once a day on days 8-12 for course 1 only. For course 2 and all subsequent courses, patients receive oral everolimus once a day on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, and 22-26 and oral temozolomide once a day on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

All patients undergo blood sample collection periodically for correlative studies. Samples are analyzed for relative numbers of T, B, and NK cells via flow cytometry, quantitative immunoglobulin levels (IgG, IgM, and IgA), Tetramer/ELISPOT CTL frequencies to CMV/EBV immunodominant antigens, V beta T cell spectratyping, and VEGF levels via ELISA.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 8 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. 9-week Progression-free Survival Rate

    The primary endpoint of this trial is the 9 week PFS rate. A patient is a success if they are progression free at their cycle 2 evaluation (approximately 9 weeks post registration). All patients, who meet the eligibility criteria, sign a consent form, and start treatment will be included in the evaluation of the 9-week PFS rate (evaluable patients). The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated using the properties of the binomial distribution. If some patients are lost to follow up prior to their cycle 2 evaluation, the Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the 9 week PFS rate. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: at 9 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Survival Time

    Survival time is defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause. The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death due to any cause; Up to 5 years

  2. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to disease progression is defined as the time from registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression. If a patient dies without a documentation of disease progression the patient will be considered to have had tumor progression at the time of their death unless there is sufficient documented evidence to conclude no progression occurred prior to death. The distribution of time to progression will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Time from registration to the earliest date documentation of disease progression; Up to 5 years

  3. Confirmed Response Rate (Complete Response and Partial Response)

    Confirmed response rates will be evaluated by dividing the number of confirmed responders (i.e. patients that achieve a CR or PR on consecutive evaluations) by the total number of evaluable patients. Confidence intervals for the true response rate will be calculated using the properties of the binomial distribution.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing everolimus and temozolomide in people with Melanoma (Skin), run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 198 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 14 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 198 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 7 Mar 2017). 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?

9-week Progression-free Survival Rate (time frame: at 9 weeks). 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 NCT00521001, 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 14 Aug 2017.
