The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43874   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The objective of the study is to evaluate the therapeutic activity, safety and tolerability of axitinib in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma which is incurable by surgery or radiotherapy and unsuitable or unresponsive to standard chemotherapy. The therapeutic activity will be separately assessed in the eligible subtypes.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were monitored once weekly for cycle 1, then at 4 week intervals. Toxicity (including hypertension) was closely monitored. The following treatment-specific measures were put in place to help protect subjects from unacceptable toxicities: In the event of any grade 3 toxicity or worse, axitinib treatment should be discontinued until the toxicity has recovered to grade 1 or better, when axitinib can be reintroduced at a lower dose of 3 mg twice daily. Treatment may be interrupted for a maximum of 2 weeks. If the toxicity has not improved sufficiently within this time, the patient should be withdrawn from the trial. Similar criteria for dose modification/withdrawal were detailed in the protocol for the following adverse events: Hypertension, Haemoptysis, Cavitating lung metastases, Proteinuria, Thrombocytopenia. As Hypertension is very common toxicity for axitinib, and should be actively managed with medication. An angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (eg. Ramipril 1.25 mg) or calcium channel blocker (eg, amlodipine 5 mg) is recommended as initial treatment.
    Background therapy
    Patients may have received prior anticancer treatment (surgery, radiotherapy and systemic therapies), however this could not be within 4 weeks of eligibility. As hypertension is very common toxicity for axitinib, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or calcium channel blocker was recommended as initial treatment. As such , patients are likely to have been treated with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor.
    Evidence for comparator
    The objective of this single arm study was to evaluate the therapeutic activity, safety and tolerability of axitinib in patients with advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma who have relapsed after standard chemotherapy. The analysis of progression-free survival rate (PFR) in phase II trials of active and inactive agents by the EORTC Soft Tissue & Bone Sarcoma Group (van Glabbeke et al, 2002) showed that for second-line therapy, a 3-month PFR of >=40% suggests drug activity, and <=20% suggests inactivity. Therefore, the primary outcome measure for this trial was chosen as progression-free survival rate at 12 weeks after the start of treatment – with disease being assessed by comparing CT/MRI scans on (or up to 4 weeks prior to) trial entry with CT/MRI scans taken 12 weeks after entry. Patients with stable or responding disease at 12 weeks are defined as a success. For each stratum, success in 40% or more (P1) is considered worthwhile for further study, whereas success in 20% or less (P0) is considered unacceptable. The trial is designed such that there is a 5% chance of incorrectly accepting axitinib as worthy of further investigation (significance level) and 80% chance of correctly detecting that axitinib is worthy of further investigation (power). Therapeutic activity is assessed separately in the eligible subtypes - Angiosarcoma, Synovial sarcoma, Leiomyosarcoma (uterine, skin or non organ origin), and other types of eligible soft tissue sarcoma.

    Reporting group title
    Other Sarcoma
    Reporting group description
    Patients with eligible subtypes of pathologically confirmed soft tissue sarcoma other than Angiosarcoma, Leiomyosarcoma or Synovial sarcoma. Other eligible subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma were of Trojani intermediate or high grade, including fibroblastic, fibrohistiocytic, adipocytic, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath, and NOS. Ineligible subtypes that were not included in this arm were: Osteosarcoma, Ewings/PNET sarcomas, Chondrosarcoma, Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST), Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), Malignant mesothelioma and Mixed mesodermal tumours of uterus.

    End point title
    12 Week PFS Rate [1]
    End point description
    Progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 12 weeks after starting treatment, defined according to the RECIST criteria version 1.1. Disease was assessed by CT/MRI scans 12 weeks after entry to the trial and was compared to disease measured by CT/MRI on entry or within 4 weeks prior to entry. Progressive disease could also be confirmed by non-CT/MRI means.

    Notes
    [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: No statistical analyses were conducted in relation to this primary outcome as this was a single arm trial and as such the interpretation of the primary outcome was made in relation to what had been deemed clinically relevant. The trial design for each sarcoma subtype is a single-arm Simons 2-stage design which is an evaluation of a proportion against a design specified threshold to meet the criteria for success and as such no hypothesis testing is performed.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    10 Feb 2010
    Since the AXI-STS study was proposed and the protocol written there was a standardisation of the requirements for safety measurements during all axitinib studies. Amendments: Inclusion criteria: Added: No evidence of preexisiting uncontrolled hypertension as documented by 2 baseline blood pressure readings taken at least 1 hour apart. The baseline systolic blood pressure readings must be <=140 mm Hg, and the baseline diastolic blood pressure readings must be <=90 mm Hg. Patients whose hypertension is controlled by antihypertensive therapies are eligible. Added: Urinary protein <2+ by urine dipstick. If dipstick is >=2+ then a 24-hour urine collection can be done and the patient may enter only if urinary protein is <2 g per 24 hours. Exclusion criteria: Deleted: “Uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension: systolic BP >=150 mmHg or diastolic BP >=90 mmHg. Hypertension may be treated prior to trial entry, but 3 consecutive readings less than 150/90 must be obtained, at least 24h apart prior to trial entry.” Expected tocivity: Added “proteinuria” Dose and Schedule modifications: Updated instructions on how to manage dose reductions for to patients with hypertension Added instructions on how to manage dose reductions for related to patients with proteinuria Concomitant medication: Added instructions on how to manage patients on chronic antacid therapy Patient assessments: Added instructions on blood pressure monitoring (patients to self-monitor blood pressure at home)

    Following halt to recruitment the following was implemented into the protocol: Excluding patients at high risk of pulmonary haemorrhage with previous significant haemoptysis, cavitating lung metastases or any metastasis abutting or invading a major pulmonary blood vessel. Additional imaging to monitor patients for possible cavitation of lung metastases and any patients developing such cavitation or significant haemoptysis should stop study treatment. Exclusion of patients taking antiplatelet drugs, including aspirin (>325mg/day) and NSAIDs. Monitoring of platelet counts Additional amendments to the protocol: Updated information about potential toxicities and their management. A study radiologist has been appointed to review patient imaging

    Protocol synopsis - Secondary outcomes measures: Added: Tumour response rate (using Choi criteria) Deleted: ‘Estimated start date October 2009 and end date October 2011’ Protocol synopsis - Exclusion criteria: Changed: ‘within the past 3 months’ to ‘within the past 12 months’ Added: Patients with cavitating lung metastases or any metatstasis abutting or invading a major pulmonary blood vessel on baseline CT or MRI scan. Added: History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy within 12 months of study entry Added: History of haemoptysis > 2.5 ml (½ teaspoonful) of blood in any 24-hour period within 6 months of enrolment. Added: Regular treatment with antiplatelet medication, including aspirin >325 mg/day or NSAIDs. Secondary outcomes: Added: ‘Tumour response rate (using Choi criteria)’ Exclusion criteria: Added: Patients with cavitating lung metastases or any metastasis abutting or invading a major pulmonary blood vessel on baseline CT or MRI scan.Added: History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy within 12 months of study entry Added: History of haemoptysis > 2.5 ml (½ teaspoonful) of blood in any 24-hour period within 6 months of enrolment. Added: Regular treatment with antiplatelet medication, including aspirin >325 mg/day or NSAIDs. Updated expected toxicities. Dose and schedule modifications: Updated text on managing patients with hypertension. Added Cavitating lung metastases section Added Thrombocitopenia section Concomitant medication: Added Patients should not take antiplatelet drugs, including aspirin (>325mg/day) and NSAIDs Updated patient assessments section to include Urinary protein, and amend Chest x-ray and CT/MRI information
    07 May 2014
    Expected toxicity: Updated in line with new data, including the addition of cardiac failure events information. Concomitant medication: Amended instructions on how to manage patients who need to be on chronic antacid therapy with histamine H2 antagonists, proton-pump inhibitors or locally acting antacids .
    12 Dec 2014
    Treatment details: Changes to labelling/packaging/formulation and drug supply/distribution to reflect the change in name of distribution company and a change in how the drugs will be the supply and labelled.
    25 Apr 2016
    Protocol synopsis - Biological measures: Added: Assessment of CT scan based tumour texture as a biomarker of treatment response. Biological measures: Added: Information regarding the analysis of CT scan based tumour texture as a biomarker of treatment response.

    Two fatal SUSARs were reported in which haemoptysis was implicated. In the first case pulmonary haemorrhage was recorded as the cause of death while in the second infection was the primary cause of death but haemoptysis was listed as a symptom. Subsequently an additional SAE has been reported for haemoptysis. Following discussions with Pfizer it was decided to temporarily halt recruitment until these events could be properly investigated. DMC reviewed clinical narratives and imaging for all the SAE patients. They recommended a number of precautions in order to mitigate the risk of further haemorrhagic adverse events. In particular, excluding patients at high risk of pulmonary haemorrhage with previous significant haemoptysis, cavitating lung metastases or any metastasis abutting or invading a major pulmonary blood vessel. They mandated additional imaging to monitor patients for possible cavitation of lung metastases and demanded that any patients developing such cavitation or significant haemoptysis should stop study treatment. Advice was also taken advice from the study drug manufacturer, Pfizer Ltd., including the exclusion of patients taking antiplatelet drugs, including aspirin (>325mg/day) and NSAIDs. They also requested that platelet counts should be monitored.
