Paclitaxel/Carboplatin + Galunisertib for Patients With Carcinosarcoma of the Uterus or Ovary
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1 B feasibility trial with Galunsertib, a TGFβ inhibitor, in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel in patients with newly diagnosed, persistent or recurrent carcinosarcoma of the uterus or ovary. The objective of the study is to determine whether this drug combination is safe for this patient population and to see if it is effective in shrinking cancers, keeping them from growing or helping patients live longer.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Patients who consent to this study will receive treatment for four 28 day cycles unless they are unable to continue study treatment due to toxicity or disease progression. Paclitaxel and carboplatin will be given intravenously on day 1 of each cycle and galunisertib in pill form on days 4-17. No medicine will be given on days 17-28 of each cycle. Patients may have the option of continuing treatment with the study drug if they complete the 4 cycles the study requires. Subjects will receive tests and procedures that are part of regular cancer care as well as those required for the purposes of the study. Blood samples will be taken to monitor the level of study drug in the blood. Patients will have the option of allowing blood and tumor samples to be used for future research.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Proportion of patients with completion of 4 cycles of CT + GB [2 years]
To determine the feasibility of delivering 4 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel (CT) in combination with galunisertib (GB) to patients with gynecologic carcinosarcoma
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence and severity of adverse events [2 years]
To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by the CTCAE v4
- Median progression free survival (months) [through study completion, an average of 3 years]
To determine the PFS of patients receiving drug combination
- Mean (SD) of GB serum concentration levels on day 4, 8 and 29 (cycle 2 day 1) [2 months]
Galunisertib serum concentration levels will be tested
- Median overall survival (months) [through study completion, an average of 3 years]
To determine the overall survival of patients receiving drug combination
