Evaluating Trabectedin for Advanced Leiomyosarcoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the effectiveness of Trabectedin in patients with advanced leiomyosarcoma, comparing it to Gemcitabine. It includes a randomized cohort and an observational cohort for patients who cannot be randomized. The study will also conduct a translational research component to identify predictive factors for treatment response. The goal is to improve patient quality of life and potentially extend survival in a population with limited treatment options.

Why it matters

4. Patients suitable to receive gemcitabine or trabectedin therapy.
5. Measurable or evaluable disease with RECIST 1.1 criteria.
6. Evidence of progression according RECIST 1.1 during the 6 months before study entry.
7. Age ≥18 years
8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 2
9. All previous anticancer treatments must have completed ≥ 3 weeks prior to first dose of study drug.
10. The patient has resolution of adverse events, with the exception of alopecia, and of all clinically significant toxic effects of prior loco-regional therapy, surgery, radiotherapy or systemic anticancer therapy to ≤ Grade 1, by National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 5.0
11. Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function
12. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≥ 50% and/or above lower institutional limit of normality.

14. No history of arterial and/or venous thromboembolic event within the previous 12 months.
15. The patient or legal representative must be able to read and understand the informed consent form and must have been willing to give written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure. The subject may also provide an optional consent for the biological/translational sub-study associated.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior treatment with Trabectedin and/or Gemcitabine
2. Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs, study drug classes, or excipients in the formulation of the study drugs
3. History of other malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ, adequately treated), unless in remission from 5 years or more and judged of negligible potential of relapse.
4. Persistent toxicities with the exception of alopecia, caused by previous anticancer therapies
5. Metastatic brain or meningeal tumors
6. Active viral hepatitis
7. Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus
8. Patients with any severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions
9. Medical history of hemorrhage or a bleeding event ≥ Grade 3 (NCI-CTCAE v 5.0) within 4 weeks prior to the initiation of study treatment
10. Active clinically serious infections
11. Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus

16. Patients undergoing renal dialysis or with Creatinin Clearance \<30 ml/min or Creatinine \>1,5 mg/dL
17. Pregnant or breast feeding patients
18. Patients with severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical disease that in the opinion of the investigator could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
