Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Bevacizumab or Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Temsirolimus or Ixabepilone, Carboplatin, and Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage III, Stage IV, or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies paclitaxel, carboplatin, and bevacizumab or paclitaxel, carboplatin, and temsirolimus or ixabepilone, carboplatin, and bevacizumab to see how well they work in treating patients with stage III, stage IV, or recurrent endometrial cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and ixabepilone, 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, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is most effective in treating patients with endometrial cancer.

• Measurable disease is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.1); measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or >= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI

• Patients must have Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

• Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority GOG protocol, if one exists; in general, this would refer to any active GOG Phase III protocol or Rare Tumor protocol for the same patient population

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl equivalent to Common Terminology Criteria (CTCAE v3.0) grade 1

• Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcl

• Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 times institutional upper limit normal (ULN), CTCAE v3.0 grade 1

• Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0 grade 1)

• Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0 grade 1)

• Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0 grade 1)

• Urine protein creatinine (UPC) ratio must be < 1.0 gram (gm); if UPC ratio >= 1, collection of 24-hour urine measurement of urine protein is recommended (24-hour urine protein level must be < 1000 mg for patient enrollment)

• UPC ratio of spot urine is an estimation of the 24 urine protein excretion

• A UPC ratio of 1 is roughly equivalent to a 24-hour urine protein of 1 gm

• Prothrombin time (PT) such that international normalized ratio (INR) is =< 1.5 x ULN (or an 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 x ULN

• Fasting cholesterol less than 300 mg/dL (CTCAE v3.0 grade 1)

• Fasting triglycerides =< 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0 grade 1)

• Patients must NOT have received prior chemotherapy or targeted therapy, including chemotherapy used for radiation sensitization for treatment of endometrial carcinoma

• Patients must NOT have received prior therapy with bevacizumab or other VEGF pathway targeted therapy; patients must NOT have received prior therapy with temsirolimus, everolimus, ridaforolimus, sirolimus, or any other PI3K/ v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycins (mTor) pathway targeted therapy

• Patients may have receive prior radiation therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma; prior radiation therapy may have included pelvic radiation therapy, extended field pelvic/para-aortic radiation therapy, and/or intravaginal brachytherapy; all radiation therapy must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to the first date of study therapy; the prior radiation field, radiation dose, number of fractions and prior radiation start and stop dates must be provided on the Fast Fact Sheet (FFS) at registration

• Patients may have received prior hormonal therapy for treatment of endometrial carcinoma; all hormonal therapy must be discontinued at least one week prior to the first date of study therapy

• Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, and other specific malignancies as noted below, are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the last three years; patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy

• Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis OTHER THAN for the treatment of endometrial cancer within the last three years are excluded; prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease

• Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor within the last three years are excluded; patients may have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease

• Patients with serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture; this includes history of abdominal/pelvic fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 3 months prior to the first date of study therapy; patients with underlying lesions that caused the fistula or perforation in the past that have not been corrected

• Patients with active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding, such as known bleeding disorder, coagulopathy, or tumor involving major vessels
