What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Percentage of participants with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to modified RECIST, as determined by investigator. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. In case of lymph node, the lesions short axis of all nodes measuring <10 mm. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions. CR and PR criteria should be met again after 4 weeks and before 6 weeks after initial assessment. A 2-sided confidence interval (CI) was computed using Clopper-Pearson method.

    Measured: During treatment, assessed every 6 weeks (± 1 week) starting from the 1st dose of therapy until disease progression, or development of intolerable toxicity, for a maximum of 8 cycles (maximum time that any participant was on therapy was 30 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Time to Response

    Time to response is defined as the time in weeks from the first dose of study therapy until measurement criteria are first met for PR or CR (whichever status is recorded first). CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. In case of lymph node lesions, the short axis of all nodes should measure <10 mm. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the LD of all target lesions. CR and PR criteria should be met again after 4 weeks and before 6 weeks of initial assessment.

    Measured: Assessed every 6 weeks (± 1 week) starting from the first dose of study therapy until CR or PR (up to 12.1 weeks.)

  2. Duration of Response

    Defined as the period in months from the time measurement criteria are first met for PR or CR until the first date of documented PD or death. Refer to outcome measure 1 for CR and PR. PD=≥20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm of tumor size in reference to the smallest sum LD recorded at or following baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Estimated by Kaplan-Meier product limit method and a 2-sided 95% CI for median duration was computed by Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

    Measured: From the date of first PR or CR assessment to the date of progression, death, or last tumor assessment (maximum: 4.1 months)

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS=the time interval from date of randomization to the earliest (first) progression or date of death. Participants who progressed or died were counted as events. PD=≥20% increase in sum of LD of target lesions and an absolute increase ≥5 mm in tumor size in reference to the smallest sum LD recorded at or following baseline or the appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method for all treated participants and a 2-sided 95% CI for the median PFS was computed by Brookmeyer and Crowley method).

    Measured: From the date of initiation of study therapy to the date of progression (up to 8.1 months).

  4. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Rate

    Defined as percentage of participants whose best response was PR, CR, or SD as determined by the investigator. SD=Neither PR or PD are met, taking the smallest sum of the LD recorded at baseline as reference. Refer to outcome measure 1 for definition of CR or PR and refer to outcome measure 4 for definition of PD. A 2-sided 95% CI was computed using Clopper-Pearson method.

    Measured: During treatment, assessed every 6 weeks (± 1 week) starting from the 1st dose of therapy until disease progression, or development of intolerable toxicity, for a maximum of 8 cycles (maximum time that any participant was on therapy was 30 weeks)

  5. Number of Participants With Death as Outcome, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs), and AEs Leading to Discontinuation of Study Therapy Per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 3.0

    AE: New untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition that does not have causal relationship with this treatment. SAE: Untoward medical event that at any dose: results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, drug dependency/abuse; life-threatening, an important medical event, a congenital anomaly/birth defect; requires inpatient hospitalization/prolongs existing hospitalization. Grade (GR) 3=Severe; and GR4=Life-threatening or disabling. DR=Drug-related. Any Peripheral Neuropathy includes peripheral sensory and motor neuropathies, including muscle weakness, and hypoaesthesia.

    Measured: Assessed from the date of first dose until at least 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Median time on ixapebilone therapy was 10.5 weeks (range: 3 to 30 weeks)

  6. Number of Participants With Hematology Abnormalities

    Grading: NCI CTCAE, Version 3.0. GR1=mild, GR2=moderate, GR3=severe, GR4=life threatening or disabling. Normal ranges provided by local laboratory and may also vary by age and sex. White blood cell (WBC):GR1=<LLN-3.0*10^9/L; GR2=<3.0-2.0*10^9/L; GR3=<2.0-1.0*10^9/L; GR4=<1.0*10^9/L. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC):GR1=<LLN-1.5*10^9 /L; GR2=<1.5-1.0*10^9/L; GR3=<1.0-0.5*10^9/L; GR4=<0.5*10^9/L. Platelets:GR1=<LLN-75.0*10^9/L; GR2=<75.0-50.0*10^9/L; GR3=<50.0-25.0*10^9/L, GR4=<25.0*10^9/L. Hemoglobin:GR1=<LLN-10.0g/dL; GR2=<10.0-8.0g/dL; GR3=<8.0-6.5g/dL, GR4=<6.5g/dL. LLN=lower limit of normal.

    Measured: Assessed once every week for first 3 weeks, as clinically indicated, start of each 3 week cycle (maximum time that any participant was on therapy was 30 weeks).

  7. Number of Participants With Serum Chemistry Abnormalities

    Grading: NCI CTCAE, Version 3.0. GR1=mild, GR2=moderate, GR3=severe, GR4=life threatening or disabling. Normal ranges provided by local laboratory and may also vary by age and sex. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST): GR1=>ULN-2.5*ULN; GR2=>2.5-5.0*ULN; GR3=>5.0-20.0*ULN; GR4=>20.0*ULN. Total bilirubin: GR1=>ULN-1.5*ULN, GR2=>1.5-3.0*ULN, GR3=>3-10*ULN, GR4=>10*ULN. Creatinine: GR1=>ULN-1.5*ULN, GR2=>1.5-3.0*ULN, GR3=>3.0-6.0*ULN, GR4=>6.0*ULN. ULN=upper limit of normal.

    Measured: Assessed within 2 weeks of first dose and every 3 weeks before therapy dose (maximum time that any participant was on therapy was 30 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ixabepilone in people with Stomach Neoplasms, run by R-Pharm at 9 sites in 5 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore. 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 19 Sep 2012). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (time frame: During treatment, assessed every 6 weeks (± 1 week) starting from the 1st dose of therapy until disease progression, or development of intolerable toxicity, for a maximum of 8 cycles (maximum time that any participant was on therapy was 30 weeks)). 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 Oct 2020.
