NCT01532687 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Gemcitabine With or Without Pazopanib in Treating Patients With Refractory Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Draft scope assessment: unclear. Attached because the study's own record describes metastatic disease. The study was not selected for this indication by its sponsor, and its eligibility has not been reconciled against this page in full. 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
Compared using a one-sided Gehan-Wilcoxon test stratified by sarcoma subtype. Kaplan-Meier estimates for each treatment arm will be presented with the estimated hazard ratios and their associated confidence intervals. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study) with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (target lesions), or measurable increase in non-target lesions (unequivocal progression), or appearance of one or more new lesions.
Participants who progress during treatment and are found to be part of the gemcitabine+placebo arm after unblinding are eligible to receive open-label pazopanib with gemcitabine. This is the crossover population. Statistical analysis is exploratory and requires sufficient crossover participants to assess Kaplan-Meier estimated hazard ratio and associated 95% confidence interval. This represents the participants second progression. In both cases progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.0 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (target lesions), or measurable increase in non-target lesions (unequivocal progression), or appearance of one or more new lesions. First progression uses the smallest sum on study as a reference; progression for the crossover population uses first progression measurements as the reference.
Response is evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1, where RECIST combines assessments for target, non-target and presence of new lesions. Best Overall Objective Response is the sum of all CR+PR divided by all randomized participants, where the strongest recorded response is used for the evaluation (CR\>PR\>SD\>PD). Objective response (CR+PR) requires at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the largest diameter target lesions (with respective to the baseline sum); disappearance of all or persistence of one or more non-target lesions, maintenance of tumor marker levels above normal limits, and no new lesions. Estimated odds ratio of best overall objective response are reported with 95% confidence interval for the two histologic sarcoma subgroups (liposarcoma vs all other eligible soft tissue sarcoma subtypes). One-sided proportions test is used to determine whether best overall objective response is greater for the gemcitabine plus pazopanib group.
Two treatment arms will be compared using a one-sided log-rank test stratified by sarcoma subtype and study site. Kaplan-Meier estimates and the survival curves for each treatment arm will be presented with the estimated hazard ratios and their associated confidence interval.

- Adverse events were collected up 30 days after the last dose of study drugs while participant was in that Arm/Group. All-Cause Mortality was assessed up to 3 years. For SAEs and OAEs, the Gem+Pazo group was assessed up to 32.1 months; Gem+Placebo participants were assessed up to 36.0 months (30 days after progression). If Gem+Placebo participants crossed over to open-label Pazo after progression, any additional AEs were collected under the crossover arm (up to 16.6 months).
- event definition
- All Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) are reported, irrespective of grade or attribution. For other Adverse Events (AEs), only those grade 3 or higher are collected with a threshold set at 3.5% within any arm. AEs and SAEs are assessed using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. Assessments are made by laboratory tests, physical exam, and other clinical measurements (e.g. ECGs, radiological scans, vital signs, etc.)
