About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Pemetrexed in Second Line Advanced/Metastatic Osteosarcomas

The primary purpose of your participation in this study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide you treatment for your condition.

  • To assess how well treatment with pemetrexed works for patients with your type of cancer
  • To assess for any side effects that might be associated with pemetrexed.
  • To look at the characteristics and levels of certain of your genes and proteins to learn more about osteosarcoma and how pemetrexed works in your body.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Tumor Response

    Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD) = at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD) = small changes that do not meet above criteria. Tumor Response Rate(%) = sum of number of PR + CR observed/number of participants qualified for tumor response analysis * 100.

    Measured: Baseline to 21 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    When the protocol was written, time to treatment failure (TTTF) was included as a secondary endpoint. However, it was subsequently realized that due to the design of the study, participants are treated until disease progression or discontinuation from study treatment, not for a fixed number of cycles. Therefore, it was concluded that analysis of TTTF was inappropriate with the current study design and the analysis was not conducted, since it would be essentially the same as Progression-Free Survival.

    Measured: Baseline to 21 months

  2. Correlation of Disease Outcome With Pharmacogenomic Analysis

    It was planned to examine methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) gene deletion, folate receptor alpha (FRα) and folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase (FPGS) expression, and to correlate the results with the clinical data to determine the association between these factors and clinical outcome to treatment. However, due to the small number of participants with partial response (n=1), the planned statistical analyses that would correlate responders/non responders with pharmacogenomics data are no longer valid and the analyses were not conducted.

    Measured: Baseline to 21 months

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (Pharmacology Toxicity)

    Pharmacology toxicity was defined as serious and non-serious adverse events. Summaries of these adverse events are located in the Reported Adverse Event Section.

    Measured: Baseline to 21 months

  4. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from the first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first date of progression or death as a result of any cause: CR was achieved if all tumor lesions disappeared; PR was achieved if there was >=30% decrease in sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions (reference: baseline sum LDs) or complete disappearance of target lesions with persistence (but not worsening) of >=1 nontarget lesions and no appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to 31 months

  5. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was from date of study enrollment to first date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause. For participants who did not die as of data cut-off date and who did not have objective PD, PFS was censored at date of last objective progression-free disease assessment. For participants who received subsequent systemic anticancer therapy (after discontinuation from study drug) before objectively determined disease progression or death, PFS was censored at date of last objective progression-free disease assessment, before post-discontinuation chemotherapy.

    Measured: Baseline to 10.4 months

  6. Overall Survival (OS) Time

    OS was the duration from enrollment to death. For participants who lived, OS was censored at the last contact.

    Measured: Baseline to 27.6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed in people with Osteosarcoma, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 13 sites in 5 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 28 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom. 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 21 Sep 2010). 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 Participants With Tumor Response (time frame: Baseline to 21 months). 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 28 Jun 2011.
