Official TitleA Randomized, Multicenter, Phase III Trial of Trabectedin (Yondelis) Versus Doxorubicin-based Chemotherapy as First-Line Therapy in Patients With Translocation-Related Sarcomas (TRS)
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of trabetedin compared to
standard doxorubicin-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced
Translocation-Related Sarcomas (a type of cancer).
Detailed Description
This is a randomized (patients will be assigned to treatment by chance), multicenter, Phase
III trial to evaluate the effectiveness of trabectedin versus standard doxorubicin-based
chemotherapy (DXCT) as first-line treatment of patients with advanced Translocation-Related
Sarcomas (TRS) (a type of cancer), by comparing progression-free survival (PFS) in the two
treatment arms (Treatment Arm A: Trabectedin; Treatment Arm B: Doxorubicin as a single agent
or in combination with ifosfamide). Trabectedin 1.5 mg/m2 given intravenously (i.v.) over
24-hours; or doxorubicin 75 mg/m2 i.v. every 3 weeks, or doxorubicin 60 mg/m2 i.v.followed
by ifosfamide in the range of 6 to 9 g/m2 every 3 weeks with proper hydration and ifosfamide
chemoprotectant drugs.
