Trial summary

Metronomic Cyclophosphamide's use in monotherapy as a palliative treatment against non-resectable and metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas relies on small retrospective cohorts' data. Current litterature needs external validation of its efficacy and safety profile in these settings of usually frail patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Metronomic Cyclophosphamide's use in monotherapy as a palliative treatment against non-resectable and metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas relies on small retrospective cohorts' data.

Current litterature needs external validation of its efficacy and safety profile in these settings of usually frail patients.

The investigators assessed further data and aimed to identify predictive factors of metronomic cyclophosphamide impact in metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-Free Survival is defined as the period from the first day of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide administration until the day of progression or death from any cause Assessment period was from the day of the first day of MCP administration until the first observation of progression or death from any cause.

    Disease progression is defined according to RECIST Ver. 1.1.

    Measured: From date of first administration of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival is defined as the period from the first day of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide administration until the day of death from any cause Assessment period was from the day of the first day of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide administration until the first observation of death

    Measured: From date of first administration of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 100 months

  2. Progression Rate

    Proportions of patients with no reported progression at each time-point (3 and 6 months)

    Measured: 3 and 6 Months

  3. Response Rate (RR)

    Proportion of Complete Response and Partial Response among the study population from the first day of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide administration until the day of progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of first administration of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

  4. Control Rate

    Included Complete Response, Partial Response, and Stable Disease according to RECIST for at least 12 weeks from the first day of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide administration until the day of progression or death from any cause.

    Measured: From date of first administration of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sarcoma and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 Jan 2024. 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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From date of first administration of Metronomic Cyclophosphamide until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months). 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 Jan 2024.
