Trial summary

This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Clinical Trial of Angiotensin 1-7 For the Second or Third Line Treatment of Patients With Metastatic or Unresectable Sarcomas

This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Drug Products (OOPD)

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the response rate of chemotherapy-refractory sarcomas to 20 mg per day of single-agent Ang(Angiotensin)-(1-7) or 10 mg per day of single-agent Ang-(1-7) if excessive toxicity is observed at the 20 mg dose.

II. To evaluate toxicities associated with single-agent Ang-(1-7) when given to patients with chemotherapy-refractory sarcomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with Ang-(1-7).

II. To evaluate accumulation of Ang-(1-7) after 21 days of continuous treatment and quantify changes in plasma levels of angiogenic peptides including placental growth factor (PlGF).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) subcutaneously (SC) once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Being tested
therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7), laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Bone Neoplasms, Chondrosarcoma, Osteosarcoma, Sarcoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Antitumor Activity as Assessed by Number of Patients Showing an Objective Tumor Response

    'Activity' will be operationalized using objective tumor response, which will be estimated as the proportion of partial and complete responders (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria) among all evaluable patients. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

  2. Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0

    See the adverse event tables for specifics.

    Measured: Approximately 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Measured: Approximately 5 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Measured: Approximately 5 years

  3. Plasma Levels of Angiogenic Peptides Including Placental Growth Factor (PlGF)

    Measured: Baseline and Day 22

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Bone Cancer and Chondrosarcoma, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 11 inclusion and 5 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 5 Jul 2018. 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 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 30 Jan 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?

Antitumor Activity as Assessed by Number of Patients Showing an Objective Tumor Response (time frame: Approximately 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Jul 2018.
