About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy combined with apatinib mesylate in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcoma in children.

Read the detailed description

This study is a Interventional study. The target group was 3-18 years old, and the pathological stage was group II-IV recurrence or distant metastasis. A total of 48 patients were enrolled in this study. The treatment was radiotherapy combined with apatinib. The main outcome measures were ORR, DCR , OS , quality of life and drug safety. The main safety indicators were vital signs, laboratory indicators, adverse events (AE), and severe adverse events (SAE). This study is expected to be enrolled for 6 months.

Being tested
Apatinib mesylate tablets, Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulation

What participants receive

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

  • Apatinib mesylate tabletsDrug

    Apatinib mesylate tablets were orally administered 250 mg QD from 1 week before radiotherapy to the whole radiotherapy period. (Appatinib is no longer used after radiotherapy)

  • Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulationRadiation

    Also called 3D-IMRT

    Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulation (IMRT) technique was used for post-operative radiotherapy. The radiation dose was 45-54 Gy.

Study groups in NCT03868852
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Radiotherapy plus apatinib mesylateExperimentalAll eligible patients signed informed consent. Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulation (IMRT) technique was used to treat the patients with radiation doses 45 Gy - 54 Gy. All patients took apatinib mesylate tablets 250 mg QD orally from 1 week before radiotherapy to the whole radiotherapy period. They were required to take apatinib mesylate tablets with warm boiling water half an hour after meal. The daily medication time should be as consistent as possible.
Receives: Drug: Apatinib mesylate tablets; Radiation: Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulation

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Refers to the proportion of patients whose tumors have shrunk to a certain extent and maintained for a certain period of time, including CR and PR cases. Objective remission of solid tumors was assessed by RECIST 1.1. Subjects must be accompanied by measurable tumor lesions at baseline. According to RECIST 1.1, the criteria for evaluating efficacy are complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stability (SD), and progression (PD).

    Measured: First analysis will occur 1 month after accrual of all patients.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    The percentage of patients whose tumors shrink or remain stable for a certain period of time

    Measured: First analysis will occur 1 month after accrual of all patients.

  2. Total Survival (OS)

    The time from enrollment to death for any reason. For those who had lost interviews before death, the last follow-up time was usually calculated as the time of death.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 24 months.

  3. Quality of Life Score

    Quality of life score refer to EORTC qlq-c30 (version 3, Chinese version). Quality of Life Questionnare-Core 30 prepared by The European O-rganization for Reasearch and Treatment of Cancer.

    EORTC qlq-c30 (V3.0) is the core scale for all cancer patients, with a total of 30 items. Items 29 and 30 are rated on a scale of 1 to 7 according to their answer choices. The other items are divided into four levels: totally not, a little bit, a lot and very much, and are scored on a scale of 1 to 4.

    The higher the score of functional domain and general health domain, the better the functional status and quality of life. The higher the score of symptom domain, the more symptoms or problems (the worse the quality of life).

    Measured: Weekly assessment , assessed up to 1 month.

  4. Incidence and severity of Adverse Events

    The safety of the drug was evaluated by NCI-CTCAE 4.0. Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Events Version 4.0 prepared by National Cancer Institute.

    Measured: From date of enrollment until 30 days after the last medication.

Model description
Simons two-stage design method requires the enrollment of 13 patients in the first stage. If more than 7 patients fail to reach the expected end point, the first stage fails and the patients do not need to enter the second stage. A total of 48 patients were enrolled. If more than 30 patients did not reach the expected end point, the overall trial failed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Apatinib mesylate tablets and Three-dimensional conformal intensity modulation in people with Childhood Rhabdomyosarcoma, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2019. 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 China. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Contact Mawei Jiang, MD (021-25078635, 13524527495@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: First analysis will occur 1 month after accrual of all patients.). 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 NCT03868852, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Mar 2019.
