About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Pemetrexed in Recurrent Cervical Adenocarcinomas

Patients with advanced or recurrent adenocarcinoma or adenosquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix will receive Pemetrexed.

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive Pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 every three week.

On initiation of pemetrexed, on day one of first chemotherapy cycle, patients will begin taking folic acid at a dose of 350 to 600 mcg daily as well as receive an intramuscular injection of 1000 mcg of vitamin B12, with subsequent vitamin B12 injections given every 9 weeks while on study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PemetrexedExperimentalPemetrexed 500 mg/m2 will be administered on an outpatient basis on an every three week schedule. Pemetrexed will be administered as a 10 minutes intravenous (IV) infusion in (for 500-mg vial) 100 ml of saline via peripheral vein or central line on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle.
Receives: Drug: Pemetrexed

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Evaluate the progression free survival of recurrent cervical adenocarcinoma. Progression-Free Survival is defined as the period of time from the date of first study drug administration to the date that the subject is determined to have progressive disease or death due to any cause.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Response Rate

    Evaluate the response rate for recurrent cervical adenocarcinomas treated with pemetrexed. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension which must have been 20 mm when measured by conventional techniques including palpation, plain X-ray, CT, and MRI or 10 mm when measured by spiral CT.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Evaluate Overall survival for recurrent cervical adenocarcinomas treated with pemetrexed.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix and Adenosquamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix, run by Western Regional Medical 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 11 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 2 Nov 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 2 Nov 2018). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: 2 years). 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 2 Nov 2018.
