Brivanib Alaninate in Treating Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Cervical Cancer

A Phase II Evaluation of Brivanib (BMS582664) in the Treatment of Persistent or Recurrent Carcinoma of the Cervix (BMS Study CA182-048)

This phase II trial studies how well brivanib alaninate works in treating patients with cervical cancer that has come back. Brivanib alaninate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Cervical Adenocarcinoma; Cervical Adenosquamous Carcinoma; Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Not Otherwise Specified; Recurrent Cervical Carcinoma; Persistent Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis; Drug: Brivanib Alaninate

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of patients with persistent or recurrent cervical cancer, who survive progression-free for at least 6 months and the proportion of patients who have objective tumor response (complete or partial), treated with brivanib (brivanib alaninate).

II. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of brivanib in this cohort of patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with persistent or recurrent cervical cancer treated with brivanib.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain the serum expression levels of surrogate markers of brivanib effects including angiogenic factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] and basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF]) and markers of endothelial damage (E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 [VCAM-1], and (intercellular adhesion molecule 1 [ICAM-1]). (exploratory) II. To determine whether these marker expression levels alone or in combination are associated with response, PFS, or overall survival. (exploratory)

OUTLINE:

Patients receive brivanib alaninate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
