A Phase III, Open Label, Randomized, 2 Arm Study of Ixabepilone Administered Every 21 Days Versus Paclitaxel or Doxorubicin Administered Every 21 Days in Women With Advanced Endometrial Cancer Who Have Previously Been Treated With Chemotherapy

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: Complete

Sex: Female

Target Recruitment: 20

Inclusion Criteria

• Women aged 18 years and older
• Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of endometrial carcinoma
• Evidence that the cancer is advanced, recurrent, or metastatic and not curable by local measures, such as surgery or radiation.
• Karnofsky performance status >=70
• Measurable or nonmeasurable disease that has progressed since last treatment.
• All therapy directed at endometrial cancer must be discontinued 21 days prior to start of treatment, except for hormonal therapy which must be discontinued at least 1 week prior to start of study treatment. Concurrent administration of hormone replacement therapy is allowed.
• Prior therapy: Participants must have failed 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for endometrial cancer. May have received 2 prior chemotherapy regimens if 1 regimen was given for stage I or II disease. May have received any number of prior non-cytotoxic regimens such as monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, signal transduction inhibitors, or hormonal therapy. Previous radiation therapy is allowed.

Exclusion Criteria

• Carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed mullerian tumor)
• Endometrial leiomyosarcoma and endometrial stromal sarcomas
• Participants who received no prior chemotherapy for endometrial cancer or ≥2 prior chemotherapy regimens (exceptions defined in protocol)
• Known brain metastases
• Receipt of prior ixabepilone therapy
• Concurrent active infection requiring antibiotics or other therapy
• Concurrent unstable disease or other debilitating illness, such as congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, or other cardiac disease that could jeopardize participation, within the last 6 months
• For participants whose prior therapy did not include an anthracycline and therefore may be randomized to doxorubicin, left ventricular ejection fraction <50% as measured by multigated radionuclide angiography or echocardiography
• History of malignancy, except nonmelanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or carcinoma in situ of the breast, within the last 5 years that has not been treated with chemotherapy
• Known human immunodeficiency viral infection
• Psychiatric disorders or other conditions rendering the participant incapable of complying with protocol requirements
• Absolute neutrophil count <1500/mm^3
• Platelets <100,000/mm^3
• Hemoglobin <9 g/dL
• Total bilirubin >1.5*upper limit of normal (ULN), except for those with Gilbert´s disease
• Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >2.5*ULN
• Serum creatinine >1.5*ULN
• Grade ≥2 neuropathy (sensory or motor)
• No concurrent therapy (chemotherapy, hormonal, or investigational) directed at endometrial cancer during the study
