About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Everolimus or Everolimus Plus Paclitaxel as First-line Therapy in Cisplatin-ineligible Patients With Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma: Hoosier Cancer Research Network GU10-147

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study

Patients will be enrolled into one of two parallel cohorts:

  • Cohort 1: impaired renal function AND poor performance status (cycle length = 28 days). Everolimus 10 mg orally daily
  • Cohort 2: impaired renal function OR poor performance status (cycle length = 28 days). Everolimus 10 mg orally daily + IV Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 on D1, 8, 15

Restaging evaluations will be performed after every 2 cycles.

Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Karnofsky performance status 60-70%

  • INR ≤ 1.5 (Anticoagulants are allowed if target INR ≤ 1.5 on a stable dose of warfarin or on a stable dose of Low molecular weight (LMW) heparin for at least 2 weeks prior to registration for protocol therapy).
  • Fasting serum cholesterol ≤300 mg/dL OR ≤7.75 mmol/L
  • Fasting triglycerides ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
  • Fasting serum glucose < 1.5 x ULN

  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
  • Aminotransferases (AST and ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN (unless liver metastases, then ≤ 5 x ULN)

Renal:

  • Calculated creatinine clearance of < 60 using the Cockcroft-Gault formula

Cardiovascular:

  • No symptomatic congestive heart failure of New York heart Association Class III or IV.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate of Single-Agent Everolimus and Everolimus + Paclitaxel

    To evaluate clinical benefit rate (complete response, partial response, and stable disease) at 4 months from initiation of treatment.

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    To determine the safety of everolimus and everolimus plus paclitaxel in this patient population. A summary with the count of events per grade is provided.

    Measured: 5 months

  2. Progression Free Survival

    To determine median progression free survival per RECIST 1.1, per cohort.

    Measured: 4 months

  3. Overall Survival

    To determine median overall survival at 1-year from the initiation of treatment.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Everolimus and Paclitaxel in people with Transitional Cell Carcinoma and Bladder Carcinoma, run by Matthew Galsky at 11 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 24 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Nov 2023). 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?

Response Rate of Single-Agent Everolimus and Everolimus + Paclitaxel (time frame: 4 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 NCT01215136, 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 24 Nov 2023.
