About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Weight-based Dosing for Dense Weekly Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Overweight Patients With a BSA > 2.0

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the side effects and effectiveness of giving standard paclitaxel chemotherapy in doses based on actual body surface area in combination with standard dosed carboplatin chemotherapy for overweight women.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective The primary objective is to prospectively evaluate the Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) and toxicity of weight-based dose dense weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in overweight patients with a BSA > 2.0 compared to the Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group trial (JGOG 2016) during 6 - 9 cycles of chemotherapy.

Secondary Objective(s) The secondary objective is to evaluate progression-free survival in this patient population.

Study Design This is a descriptive study to determine what the relative dose intensity of patients who are overweight with a BSA of greater than 2.0 can achieve.

Being tested
Paclitaxel, Carboplatin

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Taxol

    80mg/m2 IV days 1,8, and 15 every 21 days x 6-9 cycles

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Paraplatin, Paraplatin - aqueous solution (AQ)

    area under the curve (AUC) 6 IV day 1 every 21 days x 6-9 cycles

Study groups in NCT02756013
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Paclitaxel + CarboplatinExperimentalPaclitaxel dosed by actual body surface area and not maxed at BSA 2.0. The Carboplatin dose will be calculated according to the Calvert formula using as estimated glomerular filtration rate from the Cockcroft-Gault formula and will be subject to maximum allowed doses.
Receives: Drug: Paclitaxel; Drug: Carboplatin

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative Dose Intensity as Measured by Mean Percent of Intended Cycles Completed

    Prospective evaluation of the Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) of weight-based dose dense weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin as measured by the average percent of completed treatment cycles out of the intended therapeutic plan

    Measured: Up to 190 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression will be evaluated in this study using the new international criteria proposed by the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1). Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: every 3 months for up to 2 years, then every 6 months (up to 31 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in people with Gynecologic Malignancies, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 16 inclusion and 10 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 30 Jun 2022. 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 6 Aug 2020). 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?

Relative Dose Intensity as Measured by Mean Percent of Intended Cycles Completed (time frame: Up to 190 days). 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 30 Jun 2022.
