NCT01327885 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Phase 3 Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Eribulin With Dacarbazine in Subjects With Soft Tissue Sarcoma

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. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

OS was defined as the time in months from the date of treatment start until death, regardless of cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, participants were censored either at the date that participant was last known to be alive or the date of study cut-off, whichever was earlier. Participants who died on the date of randomization had a survival time of 0.5 day. Allocation of randomization numbers were performed based upon the following stratification factors: (a) Histology (adipocytic \[ADI\] or leiomyosarcoma \[LMS\]), (b) Region (Region 1: USA and Canada; or Region 2: Western Europe, Australia, Israel; or Region 3: Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia), and (c) Number of prior regimens for advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS) (2 or greater than \[\>\] 2 prior regimens).

Full analysis set (FAS) (Intent-to-Treat (ITT) analysis set) included all participants who were randomized.

secondary · POSTED

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression, or date of death (whichever occurred first). The date of disease progression was defined as the date of radiologic disease progression as assessed by the investigator or designee based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Participants who did not have an event (i.e., participants who were lost to follow-up or who did not progress or die at the date of data cut-off), were censored. Participants who discontinued study treatment without disease progression were censored on the date of their last radiological assessment (scan date).

FAS (ITT analysis set) included all participants who were randomized.

secondary · POSTED

The PFR12wks was defined as the percentage of participants who were still alive without disease progression at 12 weeks from the date of randomization. Tumor assessment by the investigator or designee was based on RECIST criteria 1.1.

FAS (ITT analysis set) included all participants who were randomized.

secondary · POSTED

CBR was defined as the percentage of participants who have best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR), or partial response (PR), or duration of stable disease (dSD) greater than or equal to 11 weeks, between Arm A and Arm B. CBR was estimated by treatment arm based on the tumor response evaluation performed by the PI or designee according to RECIST 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter.

FAS (ITT analysis set) included all participants who were randomized.
