Paclitaxel and Carboplatin or Bleomycin Sulfate, Etoposide Phosphate, and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Sex Cord-Ovarian Stromal Tumors

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-06-21
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies paclitaxel and carboplatin to see how well they work compared with bleomycin sulfate, etoposide phosphate, and cisplatin in treating patients with sex cord-ovarian stromal tumors that have spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced) or has returned (recurrent). Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating sex cord-ovarian stromal tumors.

• Phase: Phase 2

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients with histologically confirmed ovarian stromal tumor [granulosa cell tumor, ganulosa cell-theca cell tumor, Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (androblastoma), steroid (lipid) cell tumor, gynandroblastoma, unclassified sex cord-stromal tumor, sex cord tumor with annular tubules]

• Patients must have newly diagnosed, stage IIA - IV disease and must be entered within eight weeks from surgery; they may have either measurable residual disease by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, or they may have no measurable residual disease; OR, they must have biopsy-proven recurrent disease of any stage and have never received cytotoxic chemotherapy

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

• Patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test and must agree to practice an effective means of birth control

• Patients in the measureable disease cohort must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl, equivalent to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1

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

• Creatinine no greater than the institutional upper limits of normal

• Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (CTCAE grade 1)

• Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) (aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) less than or equal to 3.0 x ULN (CTCAE grade 1)

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

• Neuropathy (sensory and motor) less than or equal to CTCAE grade 1

• No signs of clinically significant hearing loss

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

• Patients must have pulmonary function sufficient to receive bleomycin, with normal lung expansion, absence of crackles on auscultation, and normal carbon monoxide diffusion (DLCO), defined as greater than 80% predicted

• Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reactions to prior chemotherapy administered for previous cancer diagnoses are eligible to participate in the study, unless the hypersensitivity reaction consisted of anaphylaxis not amenable to desensitization

• Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy

• Patients must be entered within 8 weeks after surgery performed for either 1) initial diagnosis, staging, and/or cytoreduction, or 2) (if done) management of recurrent disease in a chemonaive patient

• Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration; continuation of hormone replacement therapy is permitted

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have received any prior cytotoxic chemotherapy or biologics for sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs)

• Patients with apparent stage I disease who have not undergone a staging procedure

• Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the last five years

• Woman who are pregnant or breastfeeding

• Patients with medical history or conditions not otherwise previously specified which in the opinion of the investigator should exclude participation in this study; the investigator can consult the study chair or study co-chairs for uncertainty in this regard
