Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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 more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study for Soft Tissue Sarcoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy 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.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with sarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the efficacy, in terms of clinical response, pathologic response, and long-term disease-free survival, of a multidrug chemotherapy regimen patients with spindle cell or small round cell sarcoma.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Induction therapy: Patients receive vincristine IV, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 48 hours on day 1 in week 0. Patients continue to receive vincristine IV once weekly in weeks 1 and 2. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 1 hour and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour for 5 days in week 3. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 2 courses.
  • Local control: After completing induction therapy, patients are reevaluated for local control therapy. Some patients may undergo surgery and/or radiotherapy (e.g., brachytherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, external beam therapy). Patients who undergo surgery begin consolidation therapy 2 weeks after completing surgery. Some patients undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5½ weeks beginning at week 12 and/or after surgery (weeks 15-16).
  • Consolidation therapy: Patients receive vincristine IV, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 1 hour, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour once in weeks 12 and 18*. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 1 hour and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour for 5 days in week 15. Patients are reevaluated for local control therapy at week 21.

NOTE: *Patients undergoing radiotherapy do not receive doxorubicin hydrochloride in week 18 or week 24.

  • Maintenance therapy: Patient receive vincristine IV, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 1 hour, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour once in week 24. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 1 hour and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour for 5 days in week 21. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 3 courses. In week 36, patients receive vincristine, doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide OR etoposide and ifosfamide as before. In week 39 patients receive etoposide and ifosfamide as before.

After completion of treatment, patients are followed periodically for at least 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride and etoposide in people with Ovarian Cancer and Sarcoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 9 Oct 2018. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Efficacy in terms of long-term disease-free survival. The study lists 4 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 9 Oct 2018.
