Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects of giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with cisplatin and bevacizumab followed by carboplatin and cisplatin and to see how well they work in treating patients who have undergone surgery for high-risk endometrial cancer. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving intensity-modulated radiation therapy together with chemotherapy and bevacizumab after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
  1. To assess the treatment-related, grade 3+, non-hematologic adverse-event rate within 90 days from the start of treatment with concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy, cisplatin, and bevacizumab followed by carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with high-risk endometrial cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To evaluate treatment-related adverse events occurring within 1 year from the start of treatment.

  2. To evaluate all treatment-related adverse events. III. To evaluate disease-free and overall survival. IV. To evaluate local, regional, and distant failure.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo pelvic intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) once daily, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks. Patients may also undergo optional nodal boost radiotherapy and/or vaginal brachytherapy boost. Patients also receive concurrent cisplatin intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days 1 and 29 and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1, 15, and 29. Beginning 4-6 weeks after completing IMRT, cisplatin, and bevacizumab, patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour and paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment with carboplatin and paclitaxel repeats every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-related, Grade 3+, Non-hematologic Adverse Events Occuring Within 90 Days After Treatment Start [From start of treatment to 90 days]

      Adverse events are graded using CTCAE v4.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE, assigning Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild AE, Grade 2 Moderate AE, Grade 3 Severe AE, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5 Death related to AE.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-related, Grade 3+, Non-hematologic Adverse Events Occuring Within 1 Year After Treatment Start [From start of treatment to one year]

      Adverse events are graded using CTCAE v4.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE, assigning Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild AE, Grade 2 Moderate AE, Grade 3 Severe AE, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5 Death related to AE. Adverse events reported as definitely, probably, or possibly related to study treatment.

    2. Treatment-related Grade 3+ Adverse Events [From start of treatment to end of follow-up, up to 43.4 months; analysis occurred after all patients had been on study for at least one year.]

      The highest grade adverse event per patient reported as definitely, probably, or possibly related to study treatment is counted. Adverse events are graded using CTCAE v4.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE, assigning Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild AE, Grade 2 Moderate AE, Grade 3 Severe AE, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling AE, Grade 5 Death related to AE.

    3. Overall Survival (Two-year Rate Reported) [From registration to two years]

      Failure was defined as death due to any cause. Patients alive at time of analysis were censored at the date of last contact. Survival rate at two years was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    4. Disease-free Survival (Two-year Rate Reported) [From registration to two years]

      Failure was defined as pelvic failure (recurrence in the pelvis, which must be confirmed by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion), distant failure (confirmed by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion), or death due to any cause. Patients alive at time of analysis were censored at the date of last contact. Disease-free survival rate at two years was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    5. Pelvic Failure Rate (Two-year Rate Reported) [From registration to two years]

      Pelvic failure (PF) was defined as disease recurrence in the pelvis, including the pelvic or sacral lymph nodes, and required confirmation by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion. Death was considered a competing risk. PF rates were estimated using the cumulative incidence method.

    6. Distant Failure (Two-year Rate Reported) [From registration to two years]

      Distant Failure (DF) was defined as the appearance of distant metastasis. Death was considered a competing risk. DF rates were estimated using the cumulative incidence method.

    Other Statistical Analysis The rate of the acute specified AEs (adverse events) from previous (and prior to ClinicalTrials.gov requirements) Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) trial 9708 of RT + cisplatin was 44% and the hypothesis is that the addition of bevacizumab to IMRT + cisplatin will not increase this rate beyond 60%. This study was designed with a 1-sided, upper bound confidence interval to estimate this AE rate. Twenty-seven evaluable patients were required to have 95% confidence that the true grade 3+ non-hematologic treatment-related AE rate is not greater than 60%. Please note that this is a 95% ONE-SIDED confidence bound which is equivalent to the upper bound of a two-sided 90% confidence interval.

Beginning 4-6 weeks after completing IMRT, cisplatin, and bevacizumab, patients receive carboplatin (CBCDA) IV area under the curve (AUC) 5 over 1 hour and paclitaxel (PTX) IV 135 mg/m^2 over 3 hours on day 1 and every every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

    5. Secondary Outcome
    Title Disease-free Survival (Two-year Rate Reported)
    Description Failure was defined as pelvic failure (recurrence in the pelvis, which must be confirmed by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion), distant failure (confirmed by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion), or death due to any cause. Patients alive at time of analysis were censored at the date of last contact. Disease-free survival rate at two years was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
    Time Frame From registration to two years

    Title Pelvic Failure Rate (Two-year Rate Reported)
    Description Pelvic failure (PF) was defined as disease recurrence in the pelvis, including the pelvic or sacral lymph nodes, and required confirmation by histologic or cytologic biopsy of the recurrent lesion. Death was considered a competing risk. PF rates were estimated using the cumulative incidence method.
