About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Open Label, Randomized, 2 Arm Study of Ixabepilone Administered Every 21 Days Versus Paclitaxel or Doxorubicin Administered Every 21 Days in Women With Advanced Endometrial Cancer Who Have Previously Been Treated With Chemotherapy

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate whether administration of ixabepilone results in superior outcome as assessed by overall survival compared with that achieved with standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel or doxorubicin) in women with advanced endometrial cancer that has progressed following first-line chemotherapy.

Being tested
Ixabepilone, Doxorubicin, Paclitaxel

What participants receive

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

  • IxabepiloneDrug

    Also called Ixempra, BMS-247550

  • DoxorubicinDrug

    Also called Adriamycin PFS/RDF, Adriacin, Adriblastina, Adriablastine

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Taxol, Anzatax, Asotax, Bristaxol Praxel

Study groups in NCT00883116
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Ixabepilone, 40 mg/m^2, intravenously (IV)ExperimentalParticipants received ixabepilone, 40 mg/m^2, given IV over 3 hours every 21 days until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression
Receives: Drug: Ixabepilone
Control chemotherapy (Paclitaxel or Doxorubicin)Active comparatorParticipants received either paclitaxel, 175 mg/m^2 given IV over 3 hours, or per institutional guidelines but not exceeding 3 hours, every 21 days until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or doxorubicin, 60 mg/m^2 given IV per institutional guidelines every 21 days, depending on the prior therapy received, until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or cumulative dose of 500 mg/m^2.
Receives: Drug: Doxorubicin; Drug: Paclitaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death. If the patient did not die, OS was censored on the last date he or she was known to be alive.

    Measured: Date of randomization to date of death or last date censored to up to approximately 26 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented disease progression. Patients who died without a reported prior progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Those who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on-study tumor assessments were censored on the date they were randomized. Measurable disease was present if the patient had 1 or more measurable lesions.

    Measured: Date of randomization to date of disease progression or death (or date of last tumor assessment for those who did not die or progress) up to approximately 22 months

  2. Best Overall Response Rate

    Best overall response rate was defined as the number of participants whose best response was either partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) divided by the number of participants in the treatment group. Overall tumor response was based on an integration of the evaluation of target, nontarget, and new lesions. CR=Disappearance of all clinical and radiologic evidence of target lesions. PR=At least 30% reduction in the sum of diameters of all target lesions; taking as reference the baseline study measurement. Changes in tumor measurements need not be confirmed by repeat measurements performed after the criteria for response were first met.

    Measured: Date of randomization and every 6 weeks to end of treatment (9 cycles, or approximately Day 189)

  3. Number of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event (SAE), an SAE Related to Study Drug, Death as Outcome, a Peripheral Neuropathy Adverse Event (AE), a Grade 3 or Higher AE, and an AE Related to Study Drug

    AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Related to study drug=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Grade (Gr) 1=Mild, Gr 2=Moderate, Gr 3=Severe, Gr 4=Life-threatening or disabling, Gr 5=Death.

    Measured: From Day 1 (first dose) to 30 days past last dose (up to Day 219); 9 cycles, or 189 days + 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ixabepilone, Doxorubicin and Paclitaxel in people with Endometrial Cancer, run by R-Pharm at 93 sites in 19 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 9 inclusion and 19 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 93 sites in United States, Canada, Italy, Mexico, Russia and 14 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Mar 2014). 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 Survival (OS) (time frame: Date of randomization to date of death or last date censored to up to approximately 26 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 NCT00883116, 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 9 Mar 2017.
