NCT01637961 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Alisertib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Persistent Leiomyosarcoma of the Uterus

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes

Measures are not ranked. Open each original source section for treatment groups, denominators, units and results.

exploratory · NOT_POSTED

Aurora A Kinase expression will be assessed for associations with patient demographics and clinical outcome (response, PFS at 6 months, PFS, and OS).

Source null

→

primary · POSTED

Whether or not the patient survived progression-free for at least 6 months. 90% confidence interval (Bonferroni Corrected). Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Progression includes the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.

Eligible and Treated Patients

→

primary · POSTED

Complete and Partial Tumor Response by RECIST 1.1. Patient response uses best overall response while on therapy. Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions, and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in the short axis to \<10 mm. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Complete or partial response requires confirmation at greater than or equal to 4 weeks from initial documentation.

secondary · POSTED

Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the period from study entry until disease progression, death, or the last date of contact. Progression was based on RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 defines progressive disease as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions is also considered progression.

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) > 6 Months
    endpoint definition
    Whether or not the patient survived progression-free for at least 6 months. 90% confidence interval (Bonferroni Corrected). Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions).

It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.
    time origin
    Assessed every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months from the date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Progression Free Survival
    endpoint definition
    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the period from study entry until disease progression, death, or the last date of contact. Progression was based on RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 defines progressive disease as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions is also considered progression.
    time origin
    every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months thereafter until disease progression is confirmed; up to 5 years
