About this study

Official title: A Randomized Prospective, Multicentric, Open Label, Phase II Study Aiming to Evaluate the Efficacity and Safety of EVEROLIMUS as Neo-adjuvant Therapy in Patients With Primary or Relapsed Chondrosarcomas

The mainstay of chondrosarcoma treatment is a wide surgical resection. Unfortunately, this is a rare occurrence, and patients with incomplete resection have very poor therapeutic options. In this context, it becomes important to find new therapeutic strategies to slow down tumor progression and to reduce tumor size before resection.

Pre-clinical and clinical data suggest that EVEROLIMUS should be efficient as adjuvant and neo-adjuvant therapy in chondrosarcoma.

Then, investigators propose a phase II, randomized, open label study compounded by 3 arms (1:1:1) to assess efficiency of EVEROLIMUS as neo-adjuvant therapy in patients with primary or relapsed chondrosarcomas :

ARM 1 = No treatment; ARM 2 = 2,5 mg Everolimus/day; ARM 3 = 10 mg Everolimus/day.

The treatments will be taken for 4 weeks before surgery, apart from any premature withdrawn

Read the detailed description

Chondrosarcomas (CHS) represent 25% of bone sarcomas and are the second most frequent primary malignant type of bone tumor. No effective systemic treatment has been identified in advanced or adjuvant phases for CHS. As CHS are relatively resistant to chemo- and radiotherapy, surgery remains the primary treatment of this tumor type. The aim of tumor resection is to obtain complete removal of the malignant lesion with adequate margins taking into account tumor control and functional reconstruction. However, considering the particular localizations of CHS, a wide resection (i.e. R0 clear margins) is rarely achieved. Unfortunately, therapeutic options are limited for patients with incomplete resection. In this context, new therapeutic strategies are needed to slow down tumor progression and to reduce tumor size before surgery.

Increasing knowledge of the signal transduction pathways involved in oncogenesis has led to speculation that components of signalling pathways could be envisaged as novel targets for cancer therapy. Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR), which lies downstream of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/B kinase protein (PI3K/Akt) pathway, plays a central role in the regulation of cancer cell growth, suggesting that mTOR could be an attractive target for anti-cancer therapy. The PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway is intimately implicated in sarcoma development and progression. Indeed, mutations and/ or overexpression of one or several components of the PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway are often observed in sarcoma. These alterations, located both upstream and downstream of mTOR, lead to dysregulation of the mTOR pathway. mTOR inhibitor evaluation as anticancer agents has began with rapamycin analogues (called rapalogs). Currently, mTOR inhibitors under clinical development include temsirolimus (CCI-779, Torisel®, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals), everolimus (RAD001, Afinitor®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals), and ridaforolimus (AP23573, ARIAD Pharmaceuticals). mTOR inhibitors were found to be efficient in various preclinical cancer models, for example in a preclinical mouse model of follicular thyroid cancer, everolimus induced a significant decrease in proliferation of cancer cells.

Two sets of recent data suggest that inhibition of mTOR pathway could be an effective systemic treatment for chondrosarcoma. The first one is a case report describing an impressive tumor response in a patient with myxoid chondrosarcoma treated by rapamycin in combination with cyclophosphamide. The second one concerns nonclinical data generated by our institution. Using an orthotopic rat chondrosarcoma model, we have shown that monotherapy with everolimus inhibits chondrosarcoma proliferation as evaluated by Ki67 expression and significantly reduced tumor volume. Importantly, when given in a "pseudo-adjuvant" setting following R1 resection of the implanted tumor, everolimus significantly delayed tumor recurrence. These preclinical data provide a strong rationale to evaluate the therapeutic potential of everolimus in both the neo-adjuvant and adjuvant settings in patients with chondrosarcoma.

In this context, the proposal of the investigators is to perform a multicenter, randomized, Phase II study in patients with a primary or relapsed chondrosarcoma in neo-adjuvant setting

What is being measured

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

  1. Success Rate obtained per arm

    A success is defined as a variation (decrease) of Ki67 expression > 10% during treatment

    Measured: 4 weeks after inclusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS = Time from randomization until the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. Patients without any progression at the end of the 3 years follow up will be censured at this date.

    Measured: At time of progression in the course of the 3 years follow up after randomization

  2. Safety

    Based on the frequency of Adverse Events according to common toxicity criteria (CTC V4.0), taking to account post operative complications and functional outcomes

    Measured: In the course of the 3 years after randomization

  3. Overall Survival

    Patients who are alive at the end of the 3 years follow up will be censured at this date.

    Measured: At time of death if occuring during the 3 years of follow up after randomization

  4. Quality of Life

    Data collected from a questionnaire at inclusion, surgery, 3th month, 6th month, 12th month, 24th month and 36th month after surgery

    Measured: From randomization to the end of the 3 years follow up

The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in 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?

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?

Success Rate obtained per arm (time frame: 4 weeks after inclusion). 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 NCT02008019, which also lists 30 linked publications.

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 7 Aug 2017.
