What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Survival without progression of disease assessed at 6 months from randomization

    Measured: at 6 months from randomization

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    Rate of tumor response assessed after cycle 2, 4 and 6

    Measured: After 6, 12 and 18 weeks

  2. Overall Survival

    From date of starting therapy until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

    Measured: At patient death or at last available follow-up

  3. Post treatment Surgery Rate

    Rate of patients who will require surgery after 2, 4 and 6 study treatment cycles

    Measured: After 6, 12 and 18 weeks

  4. Adverse Events Incidence

    Number and grade of adverse events related to the study treatments

    Measured: Every 3 weeks up to 22 weeks

  5. Quality of life assesment: data will be collected by using specific oncologic Quality of Life instruments

    Quality of Life evaluation related to received chemotherapy

    Measured: After 6, 12 and 18 weeks and at 12 Months after end of treatment

  6. Duration of hospitalization

    Number of days spent in hospital related to treatment received

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine and Docetaxel and Ifosfamide in people with OSTEOSARCOMA, run by Italian Sarcoma Group at 10 sites in Italy.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Italy. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Not adequate enrollment (sample size not possible to reach)). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: at 6 months from randomization). 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 NCT02718482, which also lists 4 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 13 May 2019.
