Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective study evaluating the activity and the safety of toremifene in patients with primary or recurrent sporadic DTs.

Patients will be enrolled after the histological confirmation of DTs on biopsy Patients will start at 60 mg daily and dose-escalate to 180 mg upon progression. Disease assessment will be performed by contrast-enhanced MRI or CT scan, pain evaluation by a visual analog scale (VAS) every 3 months for the first and second year, twice yearly thereafter. Response will be evaluated either by RECIST and/or symptomatic relief.


Description:

This is a prospective study evaluating the activity and the safety of toremifene in patients with primary or recurrent sporadic DTs.

Patients will be enrolled after the histological confirmation of DTs on biopsy performed at the investigators institution or after the pathological review of tissue specimen obtained via needle biopsy or surgical excision (in case of recurrence) performed elsewhere. A new biopsy will be performed if the amount of tissue will not be sufficient for immunohistochemical analysis. Patients will start at 60 mg daily and dose-escalate to 180 mg upon progression. Disease assessment will be performed by contrast-enhanced MRI or CT scan, pain evaluation by a visual analog scale (VAS) every 3 months for the first and second year, twice yearly thereafter. Response will be evaluated either by RECIST and/or symptomatic relief.

- Female patients of child-bearing potential must have negative pregnancy test within 7 days before initiation of study drug dosing. Post menopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Time to progression This study evaluates clinical benefit by comparing sequentially measured paired failure times within each treated patient, namely time to progression after the 60 mg toremifene dose (TTP1) versus the (possibly censored) time to progression after the 180 mg toremifene dose (TTP2) 2 years No
