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 tumorcarcinosarcoma 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
