Enzalutamide, Carboplatin, and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Stage III-IV or Recurrent Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer

NCT02684227

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well enzalutamide, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer that is stage III-IV or has come back. Androgens can cause the growth of endometrioid endometrial cancer. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving enzalutamide, carboplatin, and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well enzalutamide, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer that is stage III-IV or has come back. Androgens can cause the growth of endometrioid endometrial cancer. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the clinical activity of combination enzalutamide, carboplatin and paclitaxel
      represented as:

      Ia. Objective tumor response (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR]). Ib. The
      proportion of patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months after initiating
      therapy.

      II. To quantify protein and phosphoprotein expression of androgen receptor (AR) and
      AR-response genes following enzalutamide treatment in match-paired pre and post treatment
      tumor biopsies.

      III. To determine the safety and feasibility of daily enzalutamide given in combination with
      carboplatin and paclitaxel in women with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Determine median response duration. II. Estimate progression free survival and overall
      survival. III. Evaluate for presence of pharmacokinetic interaction between enzalutamide and
      paclitaxel.

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. Correlate molecular results, including AR receptor expression and activation, to clinical
      endpoints.

      II. Identify potential agents to synergize with enzalutamide based on pathways activated
      after enzalutamide treatment.

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive enzalutamide orally (PO) once daily (QD) alone on days 1-28. Patients then
      receive enzalutamide PO QD on days 1-21, paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours on day 1,
      and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6-9 cycles in
      the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 1
      year.

             in-range INR, usually between 2 and 3, if a patient is on a stable dose of therapeutic
             warfarin) and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) =< 1.5 times the institutional upper
             limit of normal; patients receiving low molecular weight heparin for the prevention or

             (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for
             the duration of study participation. Women of child-bearing potential (intact uterus)
             should have a negative serum pregnancy test. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:Female
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Change in androgen receptor (AR) receptor expression
Time Frame:Baseline to 26-28 days after treatment initiation
Safety Issue:
Description:Summary statistics and boxplots will be used to describe the distributions of expression of AR and its downstream signaling effectors. We will similarly describe the change from baseline for AR and its downstream signaling effectors. If the usual normality assumptions hold we will use a paired t-test to test for significant changes in expression from baseline to follow-up assessment, otherwise we will test for changes with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. For those variables measured on a nominal scale we will cross-tabulate values at baseline and follow-up assessments, and we will test for differences between baseline and follow-up assessments with a Fisher's exact test. A time dependent covariate analysis may be conducted to assess the impact of changes in biomarker expression on progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:OS
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:Estimated using the Kaplan Meier method. Will use Cox proportional hazards regression to model PFS and OS as functions of mutation status and protein expression, and we will estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. A time dependent covariate analysis may be conducted to assess the impact of changes in biomarker expression on PFS and OS.
Measure:PFS
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:We will use Cox proportional hazards regression to model PFS and OS as functions of mutation status and protein expression, and we will estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. A time dependent covariate analysis may be conducted to assess the impact of changes in biomarker expression on PFS and OS.
Measure:Objective tumor response (complete response/partial response) rate
Time Frame:Up to 1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:We will use Cox proportional hazards regression to model PFS and OS as functions of mutation status and protein expression, and we will estimate hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. A time dependent covariate analysis may be conducted to assess the impact of changes in biomarker expression on PFS and OS.
