Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well alisertib works in treating patients with leiomyosarcoma of the uterus that has come back or persistent. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the clinical activity of MLN8237 (alisertib) in patients with recurrent or persistent leiomyosarcoma of the uterus who have received one or two prior cytotoxic therapies and the frequency of patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months after initiating therapy or have objective tumor response.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4 (CTCAE v4) among women with leiomyosarcoma treated with MLN8237.

II. To determine the distribution of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the relationship of Aurora A Kinase expression, measured by immunohistochemistry, with objective response, PFS at 6 months, survival, and progression-free survival.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive alisertib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-7. 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 and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have incurable recurrent or persistent uterine leiomyosarcoma; histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required

- Patients must have measurable disease; measurable disease is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1); measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or >= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI

- Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST version 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy

- Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) protocol, if one exists; in general, this would refer to any active GOG phase III protocol for the same patient population (12/10/2012)

- Any prior radiation therapy must be discontinued at least four weeks prior to registration (12/10/2012)

- Patients must have had at least one prior chemotherapeutic regimen for management of leiomyosarcoma

- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease (12/10/2012)

- Patients must NOT have received any prior therapy directed at Aurora kinase for management of recurrent or persistent disease; patients who were treated on GOG-0250 (gemcitabine + docetaxel plus bevacizumab vs placebo) are eligible; treatment on GOG-0250 would count as ONE prior regimen

- Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/mcL

- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Aurora A Kinase Expression Aurora A Kinase expression will be assessed for associations with patient demographics and clinical outcome (response, PFS at 6 months, PFS, and OS). Up to 5 years
Primary Progression-free Survival (PFS) > 6 Months Whether or not the patient survived progression-free for at least 6 months. 90% confidence interval (Bonferroni Corrected). Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Progression includes the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase. Assessed every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months from the date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.
Primary Tumor Response Complete and Partial Tumor Response by RECIST 1.1. Patient response uses best overall response while on therapy. Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions, and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Complete or partial response requires confirmation at greater than or equal to 4 weeks from initial documentation. Every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months thereafter until withdrawal from study treatment or disease progression is confirmed.
Secondary Overall Survival The observed length of life from entry into the study to death or the date of last contact. From study entry to death or last contact, up to 5 years.
Secondary Number of Participants With Adverse Events as Assessed by NCI CTCAE Version 4.0 Every cycle during treatment and 30 days after the last treatment, up to 5 years.
Secondary Progression Free Survival Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the period from study entry until disease progression, death, or the last date of contact. Progression was based on RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 defines progressive disease as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions is also considered progression. every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months thereafter until disease progression is confirmed; up to 5 years
