Liposome-Encapsulated Doxorubicin Citrate and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

August 6, 2013 updated by: Medical University Innsbruck

Phase II Multicenter Trial of the Austrian AGO With the Combination of Liposomal Doxorubicin (Myocet®) and Carboplatin in Primary Advanced or Metastatic and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate given together with carboplatin works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic recurrent endometrial cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess activity of the combination of liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate and carboplatin in patients with primary advanced or metastatic recurrent carcinoma of the endometrium.

Secondary

  • To assess the toxicity and feasibility of this regimen in these patients.
  • To determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive liposome-encapsulated doxorubicin citrate IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6-9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Tissue array and immunohistochemistry analysis are conducted on paraffin-embedded tumor blocks of the primarily operated tissue of all patients for different markers (e.g., progesterone-/estrogen receptor, HER2-receptor, soluble L1-molecule, Topo 2a) to examine tumor characteristics.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, during study treatment, at completion of study treatment, and then at 1 year after completion of study treatment.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
