Official Title
A Randomized Phase 2/3 Study of Olaparib Plus Temozolomide Versus Investigator's Choice for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Uterine Leiomyosarcoma After Progression on Prior Chemotherapy
Brief Title
Testing Olaparib and Temozolomide Versus the Usual Treatment for Uterine Leiomyosarcoma After Chemotherapy Has Stopped Working
Protocol ID
NCT05432791
Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Brief Summary
This phase II/III trial compares the effect of the combination treatment with olaparib
and temozolomide to trabectedin or pazopanib (two of the most common chemotherapy drugs
used as usual approach) in patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma that may have spread from
where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body
(advanced) after initial chemotherapy has stopped working. The usual approach is defined
as care most people get for advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma. 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.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the progression free survival (PFS) of olaparib plus temozolomide (Arm 1)
as compared to investigator's choice (trabectedin or pazopanib hydrochloride [pazopanib])
(Arm 2) for the treatment of patients with advanced uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) who
have received two or more prior lines of therapy as determined by investigator (local
site) assessment. (Phase 2) II. To compare the overall survival (OS) of olaparib plus
temozolomide (Arm 1) as compared to investigator's choice (trabectedin or pazopanib) (Arm
2) for the treatment of patients with advanced uLMS who have received two or more prior
lines of therapy. (Phase 3)
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of each treatment by determining adverse
events using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 and
patient-reported toxicity using Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO)-CTCAE version 1 in and
across each treatment arm. (Phase 2/3) II. To evaluate the objective response rate (ORR),
duration of response (DOR) and disease control rate (DCR) in and across each treatment
arm as determined by investigator assessment. (Phase 2/3)
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM 1: Patients receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7 of each
cycle and olaparib PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-7 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21
days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo
computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or bone scans
throughout the trial. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples throughout the
trial.
ARM 2: Patients receive trabectedin intravenously (IV) continuously over 24 hours on day
1 of each cycle or pazopanib PO QD on days 1-21 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21
days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT
scan or MRI and/or bone scans throughout the trial. Patients also undergo transthoracic
echocardiography (TTE) or multi-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) on study and as clinically
indicated, as well as collection of blood samples throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients without disease progression are followed
every 6 weeks until disease progression. After disease progression, patients are followed
every 3 months for the first 2 years, then every 6 months thereafter until 5 years
post-randomization or death, whichever comes first.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed leiomyosarcoma of uterine origin, as established by the
site institutional practice for pathology confirmation for research studies when
enrolling the patient on study. Central pathology review will not occur.
- 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 criteria to be eligible for the
study.
- 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
- Age >= 18 years.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status =< 2.
- 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 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 BOTH of the agents included on the
investigator's choice arm: trabectedin AND pazopanib. If the patient has had prior
treatment with one of these agents, they are eligible; however, 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 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.
- Patients may 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.
- 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).
- 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. If BP is in range on the first measurement, no further measurements are
needed.
- Patients must demonstrate a QTcF (Fredericia formula) =< 470 msec on an
electrocardiography (EKG) performed during screening. This criterion applies only to
patients who will receive pazopanib if randomized to Arm 2. Repeat EKG testing
during the screening period is allowed.
- 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 may not have a history of active or unresolved: perforation, abscess or
fistula within 28 days prior to registration (either clinically or
radiographically).
- 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.
- 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 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 must be able to swallow oral medications.
- 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). The required washout period prior to starting study treatment is 5 weeks
for enzalutamide or phenobarbital and 3 weeks for other agents.
- In order to complete the mandatory patient-completed measure, participants must be
able to speak and/or read English and Spanish. Non-English or non-Spanish readers
may still participate in the study but are not required to complete the PRO-CTCAE
side effect surveys.
- 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.
