About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Trial on the Efficacy of Propranolol Monotherapy in Cutaneous Angiosarcoma

This is a window opportunity study of propranolol in patients with angiosarcoma. The aim of this study is to prospectively evaluate the activity of propranolol in the clinical setting as monotherapy, where the neoadjuvant setting provides a good opportunity to rapidly evaluate both the clinical response and histological response, without a significant delay in anti-cancer treatment.

Read the detailed description

A pilot neoadjuvant window of opportunity study will be performed to explore the activity of propranolol monotherapy in angiosarcoma. The study consists of a single arm. Propranolol will be administred as monotherapy in a dose of 40-80 mg 2-3 times a day, if tolerated. When patients are diagnosed, standard anti-cancer treatment will be scheduled in 6 weeks while propranolol treatment can start immediately after diagnosis and will be continued until the day the standard anti-cancer treatment is started. The duration of treatment will therefore be 3-6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical response

    A response is defined as CR, PR, or SD with an improvement in clinical characteristics

    Measured: From start to end of treatment: 3-6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Histological response on propranolol treatment

    The histologic response defined as a decrease of >30% of Ki-67 index between pre- and post-propranolol treatment biopsies.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Propranolol in people with Angiosarcoma, run by The Netherlands Cancer Institute at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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 22 Nov 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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?

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?

Clinical response (time frame: From start to end of treatment: 3-6 weeks). 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 22 Nov 2023.
