About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study Of Weekly Infusion Nab-paclitaxel (Paclitaxel Protein-bound Particles for Injectable Suspension) In Patients With Unresectable And Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients with metastatic melanoma of the eye that cannot be removed by surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To evaluate the overall response rate of patients with unresectable, metastatic uveal melanoma treated with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation.

Secondary

  • To determine the median progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 8 weeks for 1 year.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Median progression free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma who received nab-paclitaxel

    Measured: up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment (study day 1) until death to the date of his or her death. If the subject has not died, survival time will be censored on last date the subject was known to be alive.

    Measured: up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nab-paclitaxel in people with Intraocular Melanoma, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 16 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 12 Feb 2016. 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?

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 12 Feb 2016). 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?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: up to 1 year following last treatment, for a total of approximately 5 years). 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 12 Feb 2016.
