About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2 Study of Imatinib in Combination With Everolimus in Synovial Sarcoma

This phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given with imatinib mesylate and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced, locally recurrent or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Everolimus and imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of everolimus in combination with imatinib mesylate in patients with synovial sarcoma. (Phase I) II. To determine the overall response rate (RR = CR + PR). (Phase II)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine RR, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). (Phase I) II. To determine predictors of response. (Phase II) III. To obtain tissue biopsy and plasma samples for correlative studies pre- and post-treatment. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of everolimus followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive everolimus orally (PO) once daily and imatinib mesylate PO once daily on days 1-28. Course repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood and tumor tissue sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for correlative biomarker and protein expression studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing diagnostic laboratory biomarker analysis, everolimus and imatinib mesylate in people with Adult Synovial Sarcoma and Recurrent Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 32 inclusion and 0 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 8 Oct 2014. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 8 Oct 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?

Response Rate (CR + PR) Assessed by RECIST 1.1 (Phase II) (time frame: At 8 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 8 Oct 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
