Purpose

A randomized, multicenter, Phase III trial to evaluate the effeciveness of trabectedin versus standard doxorubicin-based chemotherapy (DXCT) as first-line treatment of patients with advanced TRS, by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) in the two treatment arms.

Further study details as provided by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C.:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate the effectiveness of trabetedin compared to standard doxorubicin-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced TRS, by comparing progression-free survival (PFS).

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To compare; PFS at 6 months, response rates and duration of response, exploratory evaluations using Choi response criteria, PFS and RR in subgroups of patients stratified by histological type, overall survival and safety profile in each arm

Estimated Enrollment:

Detailed Description:

Treatment Arm A: Trabectedin. Treatment Arm B: Doxorubicin as a single agent or in combination with ifosfamide

Trabectedin 1.5 mg/m2 given intravenously over 24-hours; or doxorubicin 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks, or doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 intravenously followed by ifosfamide in the range of 6 to 9 g/m2 every 3 weeks with proper hydration and ifosfamide chemoprotectant drugs.
