Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have advanced (stage III or IV), persistent or recurrent uterine carcinosarcoma with documented disease progression. Histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required.
  • All patients must have measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded). Each lesion must be greater than 20 mm when measured by conventional techniques, including palpation, plain x-ray, CT, and MRI, or greater than 10 mm when measured by spiral CT.
  • Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST (Section 8.1). Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy.
  • Patients must have a GOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2.
  • Adequate bone marrow,renal, hepatic, and neurological function

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for management of uterine carcinosarcoma.
  • Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other specific malignancies as noted in Sections 3.23 and 3.24 are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the last five years. Patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy.
  • Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis OTHER THAN for the treatment of uterine carcinosarcoma within the last five years are excluded. Prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease.
  • Patients MAY have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease.
  • Patients who have symptomatic or untreated brain metastases requiring concurrent treatment, inclusive of but not limited to surgery, radiation, and corticosteroids.
  • Patients who have a significant history of cardiac disease, i.e., myocardial infarction (MI) within 6 months of study registration, unstable angina, congestive heart failure (CHF) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) > class II, or uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Patients who have a history of seizure disorder or are currently on anti-seizure medication.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Evaluation of Paclitaxel (Taxol, NSC #673089), Carboplatin (Paraplatin, NSC #241240), and BSI-201 (NSC #746045, IND #71,677) in the Treatment of Advanced, Persistent, or Recurrent Uterine Carcinosarcoma

To estimate the antitumor activity of paclitaxel, carboplatin, plus BSI-201 in patients with recurrent or advanced uterine carcinosarcomas.

Based on data generated by BiPar/Sanofi, it is concluded that iniparib does not possess characteristics typical of the PARP inhibitor class. The exact mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated, however based on experiments on tumor cells performed in the laboratory, iniparib is a novel investigational anti-cancer agent that induces gamma-H2AX (a marker of DNA damage) in tumor cell lines, induces cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase in tumor cell lines, and potentiates the cell cycle effects of DNA damaging modalities in tumor cell lines. Investigations into potential targets of iniparib and its metabolites are ongoing.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • paclitaxelDrug

    Paclitaxel will be administered IV over 3 hours on Day 1 every 21 days.

  • carboplatinDrug

    Carboplatin will be administered intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1 after pacitaxel administration, every 21 days.

  • BSI-201 (Iniparib)Drug

    Also called SAR204550

    BSI-201 will be administered IV over one hour twice weekly beginning on day 1 (doses of BSI-201 must be separated by at least 2 days).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing paclitaxel, carboplatin and BSI-201 (Iniparib) in people with Uterine Carcinosarcoma, run by Sanofi at 40 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 5 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 7 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 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?

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?

Clinical response rate (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT00687687, 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 7 Aug 2012.
