About this study

Official title: Research of Serum and Urine Metabolomic Biomarkers Predictive Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Trabectidin in Patients With Soft Tissues Sarcomas

This perspective, mono institutional study is addressed to find potential serum and urine biomarkers predictive of the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of soft tissue sarcomas patients treated with trabectedin.

Read the detailed description

This investigation enrolled patients with unresectable and/or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma not responsive to the first-line treatment based on anthracycline/ifosfamide. Patients underwent trabectedin monotherapy that was administered intravenously at the dose of 1.3 mg/m2 every 21 days.

Single overnight fasting urine and blood samples were collected on day-1 of the first trabectedin administration.

Plasma pharmacokinetics was performed during cycle 1. Blood samples, drawn from a site separate from the drug infusion site, were obtained prior to the infusion (basal) at 2, 8, 24 (end of infusion) and 0.5, 1.0, 4.0, 8.0, 24.0 after the end of the infusion. Plasma concentrations of trabectedin were measured by liquid chromatography, tandem mass spectrometry assay (LC-MS/MS) and the pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, Clearance, AUC and T1/2) were calculated from the concentration-time curve using a non-compartmental model.

Metabolomics profiles were explored by LC-MS/MS in predose urine and serum and encompassed a total of 192: a) 45 amino acid derivatives, virtually involved in a wide set of biochemical pathways; b) 40 different acylcarnitines, principally involved in the cellular energy metabolism; c) 15 lysophosphatidylcholine metabolites, 77 phosphatidylcholine derivatives, and 15 sphingomyelins, involved in fatty acid metabolism and cellular signaling. The identification of predictive metabolomics biomarkers is performed using univariate and multivariate statistical analyses.

What participants receive

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

  • TrabectedinDrug

    Also called Yondelis

    1.3 mg/m2 with a top-dose of 2.6 mg per cycle, via a central venous catheter as a 24-hour infusion every 21 days.All patients received premedication with dexamethasone 20 mg i.v. 30 min before administration of trabectedin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under Curve (AUC)

    Pharmacokinetics profile of Trabectedin for 24 hours intravenous infusion

    Measured: 0-48 hours

  2. Cmax

    Maximum plasma concentration of Trabectedin

    Measured: 0-48 hours

  3. Metabolomics profile

    Predose metabolomic profile in serum and urine

    Measured: 0 hours ( pre-dose)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression free survival

    From the first day of treatment to progression or death due to any cause

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall survival

    The time from the first course of trabectedin to death from any cause or to the last follow-up

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Treatment Toxicity

    Hematologic and non-hematologic toxicity according to WHO

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoma, run by Centro di Riferimento Oncologico - Aviano.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Area Under Curve (AUC) (time frame: 0-48 hours). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
