- NCT01281865
- Lead Sponsor
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)
- Brief Summary
This phase I/II clinical trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given with imatinib mesylate and to see how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced, locally recurrent or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Everolimus and imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of everolimus in combination with imatinib mesylate in patients with synovial sarcoma. (Phase I) II. To determine the overall response rate (RR = CR + PR). (Phase II)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine RR, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). (Phase I) II. To determine predictors of response. (Phase II) III. To obtain tissue biopsy and plasma samples for correlative studies pre- and post-treatment. (Phase II)
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of everolimus followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive everolimus orally (PO) once daily and imatinib mesylate PO once daily on days 1-28. Course repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood and tumor tissue sample collection at baseline and periodically during study for correlative biomarker and protein expression studies.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up for 30 days.

-
Patients must have measurable disease, by RECIST 1.1, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or as ≥ 10 mm by spiral CT scan
- Tumor lesions that are situated in a previously irradiated area may be considered measurable for the purposes of this study only if there is evidence of growth of the area following a course of irradiation that cannot be attributed to necrosis or bleeding into the tumor
