  • Progressive or recurrent, advanced (unresectable or metastatic) high-grade osteosarcoma, Ewing's or soft tissue sarcoma previously treated with chemotherapy.

  • Able to ingest oral medications.
  • Sexually active women and men of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective method of birth control during the course of the study and for up to 1 month following the last dose of the study drug, in a manner such that risk of pregnancy is minimized. Surgical sterilization, oral contraceptive pills, intrauterine device, double barrier (e.g. condom and diaphragm or spermicidal agents) or abstinence are acceptable forms of birth control.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Patient must be >16 years of age at the time the consent document is signed by the patient.
  • A paraffin block containing sarcoma, either from a previous surgery or recent biopsy, must be available for correlative studies. If a paraffin block containing sarcoma is not available, patients are required to undergo biopsy to obtain tissue for the correlative studies.

Who cannot join

  • Active infection requiring antibiotic treatment.
  • Diabetes mellitus not under good control (e.g. hemoglobin A1c > 8% or fasting glucose > 180 mg/dl) with oral agents or insulin.
  • Prior treatment with mTOR inhibitor for sarcoma.
  • Less than 3 weeks from prior treatment with chemotherapy to start of treatment with cyclophosphamide and sirolimus. Toxicities from prior chemotherapy (except alopecia) should be grade 1 or less before starting treatment with cyclophosphamide and sirolimus.
  • Prior radiation less than two weeks since the administration of the last fraction of radiation therapy to the start of treatment. Patients must have recovered from grade 2 or higher radiation-associated toxicities to be eligible. All measurable lesions, which are being targeted, must be outside previously radiated fields or have documented progression at least 6 weeks after completion of radiation.
  • Untreated or active CNS involvement by sarcoma.
  • Active second malignancy other than carcinoma in situ. Patients with malignancy other than sarcoma in remission are eligible.
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

About this study

The purpose of this Phase II study will assess the effectiveness of the combination of oral cyclophosphamide and sirolimus in sarcoma patients with relapsed or widespread disease who cannot be cured by surgery, radiation or conventional chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this Phase II study you are being asked to participate in will assess the effectiveness of the combination of oral cyclophosphamide and sirolimus in sarcoma patients with relapsed or widespread disease who cannot be cured by surgery, radiation or conventional chemotherapy. Malignant connective tissue tumors of soft tissue and bone (sarcomas) are highly aggressive cancers. There are few available chemotherapy treatments that are active in treating sarcomas. Sarcomas that have metastasized (spread throughout the body) are usually fatal. There is a great need to identify new active drugs to treat metastatic or relapsed sarcomas. Low dose oral daily cyclophosphamide is an established chemotherapy regimen for treatment of malignant and autoimmune disease and is generally well tolerated. Sirolimus is approved for prevention of kidney rejection after transplantation. Temsirolimus, a form of sirolimus, is approved for the treatment of kidney cancer. Sirolimus combined with cyclophosphamide in animal models of sarcoma resulted in significant anti-tumor activity. Tumor and blood samples will be studied to look for known protein targets of the medication to help learn why certain subjects have a favorable response to the treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Cyclophosphamide and SirolimusDrug

    Also called Sirolimus (rapamycin, Rapamune)

    The dose of cyclophosphamide will start at 200 mg (4 tablets) per day on day 1 and will be taken for 7 days every other week of a 28 day cycle.

    Subjects will take 12 mg (12 tablets) of sirolimus on day 1 of treatment as a loading dose followed by 4 mg (4 tablets) daily continuously

Oral Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus (OCR)ExperimentalSarcoma patients were given oral Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus (OCR) in 28 day cycles.
Receives: Drug: Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Alive Without Disease Progression

    Patients who were evaluable for response to therapy, alive and without evidence of sarcoma disease progression. Target lesions followed were lesions that had progressed by World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Disease progression is defined as a greater than or equal to 25% increase in the sum of the product of target lesions, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions or the appearance of new tumor lesions >10mm.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Median Overall Survival Time

    Median overall duration of survival.

    Measured: 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cyclophosphamide and Sirolimus in people with Osteosarcoma, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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 11 inclusion and 8 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 Sep 2015. 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 22 May 2013). 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?

Number of Patients Alive Without Disease Progression (time frame: 6 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 Sep 2015.
