Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Treatment (ziv-aflibercept)

Arm Description

Patients receive ziv-aflibercept IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Objective Response Rate, Evaluated According to the RECIST Criteria
Incidence of Disease Stabilization, as Measured by Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (Leiomyosaroma Group)
Incidence of Disease Stabilization, as Measured by Progression-free Survival at 6 Months (Carcinosarcoma Group)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Survival (Leiomyosarcoma Group)
Survival statistics will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Standard descriptive statistics, such as the mean, median, range and proportion, will be used to summarize the patient sample and to estimate parameters of interest. 95% confidence intervals will be provided for estimates of interest where possible.
Survival (Carcinosarcoma Group)
Survival statistics will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Standard descriptive statistics, such as the mean, median, range and proportion, will be used to summarize the patient sample and to estimate parameters of interest. 95% confidence intervals will be provided for estimates of interest where possible.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial is studying how well ziv-aflibercept works in treating patients with locally advanced, unresectable or metastatic gynecologic soft tissue sarcoma. Ziv-aflibercept may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the objective response of recurrent or metastatic gynecologic soft-tissue sarcomas to VEGF-Trap (ziv-aflibercept). II. To assess the incidence of disease stabilization, as measured by 6-month progression-free survival, in patients with recurrent or metastatic gynecologic soft-tissue sarcomas treated with VEGF-Trap. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess time-to-progression and overall survival in patients with recurrent or metastatic gynecologic soft-tissue sarcoma treated with VEGF-Trap. * As of 24 October 2012, overall survival follow-up is to be discontinued for the one remaining patient on long term follow-up, who has been off protocol therapy for at least 3 years. Time to progression and median survival times have been based on the currently available data. II. To assess the toxicity associated with VEGF-Trap in patients with recurrent or metastatic gynecologic soft-tissue sarcoma. III. To characterize the population pharmacokinetics of VEGF-Trap and to explore for demographic and clinical covariates OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (uterine leiomyosarcoma vs malignant mixed mullerian tumor/carcinosarcoma). Patients receive ziv-aflibercept over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo blood collection at baseline, every 8 weeks during treatment, and 60 days after completion of study treatment for population pharmacokinetic analysis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.
