Testing Olaparib and Temozolomide Versus the Usual Treatment for Uterine Leiomyosarcoma After Chemotherapy Has Stopped Working

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2030-03-09
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the combination of olaparib and temozolomide to the usual treatment (trabectedin and pazopanib) for uterine leiomyosarcoma that has spread to other places in the body (advanced) after initial chemotherapy has stopped working. Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor. PARP is a protein that helps repair damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Blocking PARP may prevent tumor cells from repairing their damaged DNA, causing them to die. PARP inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells in the body. The combination of olaparib and temozolomide may work better than the usual treatment in shrinking or stabilizing advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma after initial chemotherapy has stopped working.

• For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.

• Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

• HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.

• Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.

• Patients with central nervous system (CNS)/leptomeningeal disease must have undergone definitive treatment, have no evidence of CNS progression on follow-up imaging performed at least 4 weeks after the CNS-directed therapy is completed, and be off all steroids, in order to be eligible.

• Patients must be able to swallow oral medications.

• In order to complete the mandatory patient-completed measure, participants must be able to speak and/or read English and Spanish.

• For all patients, prior to randomization and as part of eligibility, the investigator must select the agent which the patient would receive if assigned to the investigator's choice arm, prior to randomization. The patient must meet all eligibility criteria for that agent during screening and prior to randomization.

• Patients without central venous access must be willing to undergo placement of central venous access (i.e. port or peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line, per institutional practice). if assigned to the investigator's choice arm and if the investigator intends to treat the patient with trabectedin. The site must be able to place central venous access within 10 days of registration/randomization.

• In order to complete the mandatory patient-completed measure, participants must be able to speak and/or read English and Spanish

• For all patients, prior to randomization and as part of eligibility, the investigator must select the agent which the patient would receive if assigned to the investigator's choice arm, prior to randomization. The patient must meet all eligibility criteria for that agent during screening and prior to randomization. Patients without central venous access must be willing to undergo placement of central venous access (i.e. port or peripherally inserted central catheter [PICC] line, per institutional practice). if assigned to the investigator's choice arm and if the investigator intends to treat the patient with trabectedin. The site must be able to place central venous access within 10 days of registration/randomization

Exclusion Criteria:

• Not pregnant and not nursing, because this study involves agents that have known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects. Therefore, for women of childbearing potential only, a negative pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration is required

• Patients may not have received prior treatment with any PARP inhibitor, temozolomide or dacarbazine (IV analogue of temozolomide).

• Patients may not have had prior treatment with at least one of the agents included on the investigator's choice arm: trabectedin or pazopanib. If the patient has had prior treatment with one of these agents, they must be assigned to the other agent for investigator's choice. That is, patients who have received prior pazopanib must be assigned to trabectedin, and patients who have received prior trabectedin must be assigned to pazopanib.

• Patients may not have undergone major surgery (related or unrelated to their cancer diagnosis) =< 28 days of registration. Subjects with clinically relevant ongoing complications from prior surgery are not eligible.

• Patients may not have uncontrolled hypertension defined as a blood pressure (BP) > 150/90 on two consecutive assessments during the screening period. If a patient is found to have a BP > 150/90 on two consecutive assessments during the screening period, the patient may be started on an anti-hypertensive regimen, and will be considered eligible if two subsequent measurements are performed and the BP is =< 150/90.

• Patients may not have an uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia or recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction.

• In addition to the above, patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible, patients should be class 2B or better

• Patients must not have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a history of bone marrow biopsy findings at any time consistent with MDS and/or AML.

• Patients must not have an uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan or any other condition that would limit compliance with study requirements.

• Patients may not require concomitant use of known strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem, fluconazole, verapamil). The required washout period prior to starting study treatment is 2 weeks.

• Patients may not require concomitant use of known strong (e.g., phenobarbital, enzalutamide, phenytoin, rifampicin, rifabutin, rifapentine, carbamazepine, nevirapine and St John's Wort) or moderate CYP3A inducers (e.g. bosentan, efavirenz, modafinil).
