What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Overall response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of patients with confirmed objective response (OR), either CR or PR according to the RECIST v.1.1.

    CR, complete response: disappearance of all lesions; PD, disease progression: ≥10% increase in target lesion size and does not meet tumor density criteria of PR density; PR, partial response: ≥10% decrease in target lesion size or ≥15% decrease in tumor density; SD, stable disease: none of the CR, PR, or PD criteria met; RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

    Measured: At baseline and every other cycle (± 1 week) until evidence of PD, up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Best Tumor Response

    Best tumor response was defined as the best response achieved during the study according to RECIST v1.1 CR, complete response: disappearance of all lesions; PD, disease progression: ≥10% increase in target lesion size and does not meet tumor density criteria of PR density; PR, partial response: ≥10% decrease in target lesion size or ≥15% decrease in tumor density; SD, stable disease: none of the CR, PR, or PD criteria met; RECIST, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors

    Measured: At baseline and every other cycle (± 1 week) until evidence of PD, up to 2 years

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the day of negative assessment (progression or death), start of subsequent antitumor therapy, or last tumor evaluation.

    PD, disease progression: ≥10% increase in target lesion size and does not meet tumor density criteria of PR density; PR, partial response: ≥10% decrease in target lesion size or ≥15% decrease in tumor density

    Measured: From the first day of study treatment to the day of negative assessment (progression or death), start of subsequent antitumor therapy, or last tumor evaluation, up to 2 years

  3. Progression-free Survival at 3 Months

    Progression-free survival (PFS), defined as the time from the first day of study treatment to the day of negative assessment (progression or death), start of subsequent antitumor therapy, or last tumor evaluation.

    Measured: At 3 months

  4. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the first day of treatment to the date of death (or the last day when the patient was known to be alive). Survival was to be followed for up to six months after the last treatment visit of the last patient, or 12 months after the last patient was included, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: from the first day of treatment to the date of death, up to 2 years

  5. Overall Survival Rate at 6 Months

    Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the first day of treatment to the date of death (or the last day when the patient was known to be alive). Survival was to be followed for up to six months after the last treatment visit of the last patient, or 12 months after the last patient was included, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: At 6 months

  6. Overall Survival Rate at 12 Months

    Overall survival (OS), defined as the time from the first day of treatment to the date of death (or the last day when the patient was known to be alive). Survival was to be followed for up to six months after the last treatment visit of the last patient, or 12 months after the last patient was included, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: At 12 months

    Measured: 0 (Pre-infusion) and 5 min, 30 min, 2 hours, 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 168 hours after the end of first infusion (Day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zalypsis in people with Ewing's Sarcoma and Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor (PNET), run by PharmaMar at 7 sites in 3 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 17 inclusion and 26 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 29 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Italy, France. 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 29 Oct 2021). 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 (ORR) (time frame: At baseline and every other cycle (± 1 week) until evidence of PD, up to 2 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 29 Oct 2021.
