Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: DOXIL + trabectedin
Combination arm - Trabectedin + DOXIL: DOXIL 30 mg/m2 intravenous (IV) infusion over 90 minutes + trabectedin 1.1 mg/m2 IV infusion over 3 hours every 3 weeks. patients will be premedicated with 20 mg dexamethasone or its equivalent IV infusion over 30 minutes prior to the DOXIL infusion.
|
Drug: Trabectedin
Type=exact number, unit=mg/m2, number=1.1, form=solution, route=IV. Trabectedin will be administered over 3 hours every 3 weeks.
Other Name: Yondelis Drug: DOXIL Type=exact number, unit=mg/m2, number=30, 50, form=solution, route=IV. DOXIL will be administered over 90 minutes every 4 weeks when administered alone (monotherapy) and every 3 weeks when administered with trabectedin.
Other Name: CAELYX Drug: Dexamethasone Type=exact number, unit=mg, number=20, form=solution, route=IV. Dexamethasone or its equivalent will be administered over 30 minutes prior to the DOXIL infusion. |
Active Comparator: DOXIL
Monotherapy arm - DOXIL: 50 mg/m2 IV infusion over 90 minutes every 4 weeks.
|
Drug: DOXIL
Type=exact number, unit=mg/m2, number=30, 50, form=solution, route=IV. DOXIL will be administered over 90 minutes every 4 weeks when administered alone (monotherapy) and every 3 weeks when administered with trabectedin.

- Progression-Free Survival (PFS): Independent Radiologist Review [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death, as assessed for approximately 3 years ]PFS is defined as the time between randomization and disease progression or death.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization until the date of death, as assessed for approximately 3 years ]Overall survival was defined as the time between the randomization and death
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Independent Radiologist Review [ Time Frame: From the date of randomization until the date of disease progression or death, as assessed for approximately 3 years ]Percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as best overall response. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR)= greater than or equal to 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
- Duration of Response: Independent Radiologist Review [ Time Frame: From the date of first documentation of response to the date of disease progression or death due to progressive disease, as assessed for approximately 3 years ]Duration of response was defined only for participants who had complete response or partial response as best overall response. Duration of response was calculated from the date of first documentation of response (not the confirmation) to the date of disease progression or death due to progressive disease.
- Median Area Under Curve (AUC) of Trabectedin. [ Time Frame: Day 1 (Predose; 1.5 hour after start of infusion; 5 minutes, 2 hour and 6 to 20 hour after end of infusion); Day 8 (168 hour after end of infusion); and Day 15 (336 hour after end of infusion) at Cycles 1 and 2 ]Median simulated area under the curve (AUC) of a 21 day trabectedin profile of participants (of this study) administering trabectedin and doxil, calculated using the trapezoidal rule method. Simulations were based on a dataset created of 1000 participants using the posthoc parameter estimations, derived from the population pharmacokinetic analysis dataset of Trabectedin (Participants=831, with resampling). Plasma concentration-time profiles were simulated up to 504 hour post-dosing using a rich sampling.
- Median Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Trabectedin. [ Time Frame: Day 1 (Predose; 1.5 hour after start of infusion; 5 minutes, 2 hour and 6 to 20 hour after end of infusion); Day 8 (168 hour after end of infusion); and Day 15 (336 hour after end of infusion) at Cycles 1 and 2 ]Median simulated maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) at 3 hour of a 21 day trabectedin profile of participants (of this study) administering trabectedin and doxil. The assessment of Cmax was based on a dataset created of 1000 participants using the posthoc parameter estimations, derived from the population pharmacokinetic analysis dataset of Trabectedin (participants=831, with resampling). Plasma concentration-time profiles were simulated up to 504 hour post-dosing using a rich sampling.
