Study summary

This phase II trial is studying how well trabectedin works in treating young patients with recurrent or refractory soft tissue sarcoma or Ewing's family of tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as trabectedin use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the response rate in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory soft tissue sarcomas or Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors treated with ecteinascidin 743 (trabectedin).

II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trabectedin IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for up to 5 years.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(19)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Response (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR])

    Any patient who is enrolled and receives at least one dose of trabectedin will be considered evaluable for response if the individual receives at least one dose of trabectedin and: (1) is removed from protocol therapy because of progressive disease where progressive disease is documented either by imaging studies or clinical progression; or (2) has at least one radiographic evaluation of disease status after the start of protocol therapy and is not electively removed from protocol therapy with stable disease or is not lost to follow-up with stable disease. Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) - disappearance of all target lesions or partial response (PR) - \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions according to the RECIST criteria will be considered responders for the study design. All other patients who are evaluable for response will be considered non-responders for the study.

    Time frame: Twenty-six (26) cycles of chemotherapy or termination of protocol therapy, whichever occurs first.

  2. Number of Patients With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Any Grade 3 or Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicity attributable to the Investigational drug with the specific exclusion of: Grade 3 nausea and vomiting; Grade 3 transaminase (AST/ALT) elevation that return to less than or equal to Grade 1 or baseline prior to the time for the next treatment cycle; Grade 3 fever or infection; Alopecia; Grade 4 neutropenia of \> 7 days duration or Grade 4 thrombocytopenia of \> 7 days duration, which requires transfusion therapy on greater than 2 occasions in 7 days, or which causes a delay of more than 14 days beyond the planned interval between treatment cycles.

    The plasma concentrations at each time point were determined by miniaturized Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method. The plasma concentration-versus-time data of trabectedin were estimated using non-compartmental methods. Individual time points were not available, so one estimated Vss was derived for each patient.

    Time frame: From baseline up to168 hours after trabectedin infusion in course 1

  5. Pharmacokinetics by a Miniaturized Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method : Half-life of Trabectedin

    The plasma concentrations at each time point were determined by miniaturized Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method. The plasma concentration-versus-time data of trabectedin were estimated using non-compartmental methods. Individual time points were not available, so one estimated Half-life was derived for each patient.

The plasma concentration-versus-time data of trabectedin were estimated using non-compartmental methods. Individual time points were not available, so one estimated AUC was derived for each patient.

    Time frame: From baseline up to168 hours after trabectedin infusion in course 1

  7. Pharmacokinetics by a Miniaturized Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method : Clearance of Trabectedin

    The plasma concentrations at each time point were determined by miniaturized Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method. The plasma concentration-versus-time data of trabectedin were estimated using non-compartmental methods.
