Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well eribulin mesylate works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the activity of eribulin (eribulin mesylate) in the management of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer (progression-free survival \[PFS\].

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the toxicity profile of eribulin in patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.

II. To estimate the survival of patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer treated with eribulin.

III. To evaluate potential correlative studies as predictive or prognostic makers in this patient population (glucose-regulated protein 78 \[GRP78\] levels in tissue and blood, tumor protein p53 \[p53\] expression, apoptosis with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling \[TUNEL\] assay, apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 \[Bcl-2\] and Bcl2-associated X protein \[Bax\] using immunohistochemistry \[IHC\], proliferation with Ki-67 IHC, and expression levels of microtubule-associated variables, including tau protein, total alpha- and beta-tubulin, and classes II-IV beta-tubulin isotopes with IHC.

OUTLINE: Patients receive eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) bolus over 2-5 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survivalFrom the first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 6 months

Product limits estimates of 6-month PFS will be computed using all patients enrolled on the study. 95% confidence intervals will be based on Greenwood standard errors.

Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs)Up to 2 years

The rate of grade 3+ hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities will be computed for course 1 and for all courses combined. Safety evaluation according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.3.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best overall response (BOR)Up to 2 years

Exact 95% binomial confidence intervals will be computed for the BOR rate. BOR defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence, evaluated according to RECIST 1.1.

Overall survival (OS)From first day of treatment to time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years
