About this study

Official title: Time to Secondary Resistance to Trabectedin After Interruption Versus Continuation in Responding Patients With Liposarcoma, Leiomyosarcoma and Synovial Sarcoma

Two arm, randomized, open-label study, to determine the best time to secondary resistance between responding patients who discontinue treatment and resumed Trabectedin at the time of progression versus patients who continued treatment until progression. T

Read the detailed description

This is an Italian, multicenter, randomized, open-label , two arm, study, to determine the best time to secondary resistance between responding patients who discontinue treatment and resumed Trabectedin at the time of progression versus patients who continued treatment until progression. The aim is to evaluate the best clinical practice for responding patients as Trabectedin has an acceptable safety profile with no evidence of cumulative toxicity.

After signing informed consent and being assessed for eligibility criteria , eligible patients will start the trabectedin treatment.

All the patients who will complete 6 cycles of treatment without disease progression will be be randomized to continue Trabectedin versus "treatment interruption" followed by re-challenge at progression. Patients randomized to discontinue treatment will be candidate to other 6 cycles of treatment and if they do not progress, to another interruption. The treatment will be resumed again at progression for other 6 cycles and this scheme of treatment will be proposed until progression under Trabectedin.

The study will be conducted in Italy in approximately 12 centers, in order to recruit 330 evaluable patients over a 4 year period. The follow-up will last approximately 3 years.

What participants receive

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

  • Trabectedin discontinuationDrug

    Also called Treatment discontinuation

    Patients who did not progressed after 6 cycles of trabectedin will stop the treatment and resume drug in case of progression for other 6 cycles.

    The treatment will be resumed again at progression for other 6 cycles and this scheme of treatment will be proposed until progression under trabectedin.

  • Trabectedin continuationDrug

    Also called Treatment continuation

    Patients who did not progressed after 6 cycles of trabectedin will continue the treatment until Progressive Disease or unacceptable toxicity

What is being measured

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

  1. Time secondary resistance to Trabectedin

    Time secondary resistance to Trabectedin is the time from the first trabectedin dose to progression not amenable to treatment with Trabectedin, or death, whichever occurs first

    Measured: Week 18

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is the time from the first trabectedin dose to death for any cause

    Measured: month 6,month 12, month 18, month 24, months 30, month 36, month 42, month 48, month 54, month 60

  2. Incidence of adverse event

    Adverse events are evaluate from the first trabectedin dose throughout the study according to CTCAE 5.0

    Measured: Week 9, week 18, week 27, week 36, week 45, week 54, week 63, week 72, week 81

  3. Progression free survival

    Time from the first trabectedin dose to time of onset of progression disease

    Measured: Week 9, week 18, week 27, week 36, week 45, week 54, week 63, week 72, week 81

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Trabectedin discontinuation and Trabectedin continuation in people with Leiomyosarcoma and Liposarcoma, run by Italian Sarcoma Group at 15 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 13 inclusion and 12 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: withdrawn, 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 15 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time secondary resistance to Trabectedin (time frame: Week 18). 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 NCT03773510, which also lists 5 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.
