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

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating the effectiveness of a new combination treatment, olaparib and temozolomide, for patients with advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma—this is a rare type of cancer that can spread beyond the uterus. The trial aims to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment, which includes medications like trabectedin and pazopanib, especially after previous chemotherapy has not been successful. Olaparib helps prevent cancer cells from repairing their damaged DNA, while temozolomide slows down the growth of these cells.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of uterine leiomyosarcoma that cannot be surgically removed. They should have already tried two other treatments for their cancer, one of which must have been an anthracycline (a type of chemotherapy). Patients will need to have certain health measurements within acceptable ranges, and must be able to swallow pills. Throughout the trial, participants will receive regular check-ups and assessments to monitor their response to the new treatment. It's also important to know that women who can become pregnant must have a negative pregnancy test before joining the study, as the medications being tested may affect pregnancy.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:

• • Metastatic or locally advanced and surgically unresectable disease, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
• • Patients must have at least one lesion that is measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 to be eligible for the study.

• • Patients must have had prior progression on, or intolerance to, at least two prior lines of systemic therapy for advanced uLMS, one of which was an anthracycline (anthracycline monotherapy or combination). Adjuvant chemotherapy will qualify as a prior line of treatment. Endocrine treatment will not qualify as a prior line of treatment.
• • Patients must have recovered to baseline or =< grade 1 per CTCAE version 5.0 from toxicity related to any prior treatment, unless adverse events are clinically nonsignificant and/or stable on supportive therapy, with the exception of fatigue (which must be =< grade 2), alopecia and/or endocrinopathies related to prior immunotherapy which are controlled with hormone replacement.
• • Patients must have completed all prior anti-cancer treatment, including radiation, =< 28 days prior to registration.
• • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500/mm^3 (within =< 28 days prior to registration)
• • Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3 (within =< 28 days prior to registration).
• • Creatinine =< 1.5 * upper limit of normal (ULN) (within =< 28 days prior to registration).
• • If creatinine > 1.5 * ULN, then creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be > 50 mL/min, per Cockcroft-Gault method.
• • Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL (within =< 28 days prior to registration).
• • No transfusions =< 14 days before cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1).
• • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x ULN (within =< 28 days prior to registration).
• • If documented Gilbert's: =< 2.0 x ULN.
• • Aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) =< 3 x ULN (within =< 28 days prior to registration).
• • 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.

• • 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.
