About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Cediranib in the Treatment of Patients With Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (CASPS)

The study is a two-arm, randomised, double-blind, international, multi-centre phase II trial of cediranib in Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS).

The study aims to confirm the ability of cediranib to halt disease progression in patients with metastatic ASPS, as measured by the change in tumour size at 24 weeks after randomisation, and to produce objective response according to RECIST criteria.

Read the detailed description

Patients aged 16 years and older with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of ASPS will be recruited. Eligible patients will be randomised to receive cediranib (30 mg daily po) or placebo (30 mg daily po) in a 2:1 ratio. At 24 weeks post randomisation, treatment will be unblinded after which time all patients on placebo and those who have not progressed on active treatment will be given cediranib. Treatment will then continue until objective disease progression or death.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of cediranib in the treatment of ASPS by measuring the percentage change in the sum of target marker lesion diameters from randomisation to week 24 (or progression if sooner) compared to treatment with placebo.

    Measured: 24 Weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Response rate at week 24, best response using RECISTv1.1 and best reduction (%) in tumour size

    Measured: 24 Weeks of treatment

  2. Progression-free survival and percentage alive and progression-free at 12 months (APF12)

    Measured: 12 months of treatment

  3. Length of Overall survival

    Measured: Patients will be followed up every 12 weeks

  4. The safety and tolerability profile of cediranib in patients with ASPS

    Measured: Assessments will be made at every study visit (8-12 weekly)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cediranib in people with Alveolar Soft-part Sarcoma, run by Institute of Cancer Research, United Kingdom at 11 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 11 inclusion and 20 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2019. 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 Kingdom, Spain, Australia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

To evaluate the efficacy of cediranib in the treatment of ASPS by measuring the percentage change in the sum of target marker lesion diameters from randomisation to week 24 (or progression if sooner) compared to treatment with placebo. (time frame: 24 Weeks of treatment). 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 NCT01337401, 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 Jan 2019.
