Adjuvant Doxorubicin and Trabectedin for the Treatment of Patients with Uterine Leiomyosarcoma
This phase II trial tests how well adjuvant doxorubicin and trabectedin works in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Chemotherapy drugs, such as trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving doxorubicin and trabectedin may work better in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma.
Inclusion Criteria
- Patients must have histologically confirmed uterine leiomyosarcoma
- Patients must have localized tumors, AJCC stages 1b to 3 according to the AJCC uterine sarcoma staging system (high risk of relapse population)
- Patients must have had complete surgical resection of tumor within 3 months prior to initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy, complete surgical resection includes at least a total hysterectomy
- Patients must have no evidence of residual disease, as proven by CT chest-abdomen-pelvic within 28 days before randomization (exclude potential metastatic patients)
- Patients must have no history of pelvic radiation (hematologic tolerance of chemotherapy is impaired by pelvic radiation)
- No prior chemotherapy for the treatment of the uterine leiomyosarcoma
- Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of doxorubicin in combination with trabectedin in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status >= 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%,)
- Absolute neutrophil count >= 1,000/mcL
- Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin =< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (except patients with Gilbert's syndrome, who must have total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])alanine aminotransferase ALT(serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) =< institutional ULN
- estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (using 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration [CKD-EPI]) >= 40mL/min/1.73m^2
- Albumin > 28 g/L
- Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) =< 2 institutional ULN
- No cardiac dysfunction as proven by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) > 50%
- For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (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
- If patients have a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected , then they must be on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months. Patients without a history of HIV are eligible for trial
- Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to doxorubicin or trabectedin or other agents used in study
- Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness per clinical judgment of the study principal investigator (PI) and/or treating physician
- Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage 1b, 2 and 3 uterine leiomyosarcoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy by standard-of-care doxorubicin and trabectedin for 6 cycles.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess overall survival (OS) in patients with AJCC stage 1b, 2 and 3 uterine leiomyosarcoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy by standard-of-care doxorubicin and trabectedin for 6 cycles.
II. To characterize treatment-related toxicity according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), in patients with AJCC stage 1b, 2 and 3 uterine leiomyosarcoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy by standard-of-care doxorubicin and trabectedin for 6 cycles.
III. To evaluate quality of life (QoL) outcomes using patient-reported measures in patients with AJCC stage 1b, 2 and 3 uterine leiomyosarcoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy by standard-of-care doxorubicin and trabectedin for 6 cycles.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To analyze circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) dynamics as a predictor of treatment response and recurrence risk, in patients with AJCC stage 1b, 2 and 3 uterine leiomyosarcoma receiving adjuvant chemotherapy by standard-of-care doxorubicin and trabectedin for 6 cycles.
II. To estimate the incidence of germline genetic alterations in patients with localized uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS).
III. To assess the feasibility of delivering protocol-specified adjuvant chemotherapy (doxorubicin-trabectedin) using a decentralized clinical trial model.
IV. To assess patient satisfaction and acceptability of decentralized trial participation based on Study Participant Feedback Questionnaire (SPFQ).
V. To compare protocol adherence, data completeness, and safety monitoring fidelity between centralized and decentralized participants.
VI. To explore the impact of decentralization on patient access, representativeness, and trial retention.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive doxorubicin intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes and trabectedin IV over 3 hours on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multi-gated acqusition scan (MUGA) and may undergo positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging throughout the study. Patients may optionally undergo blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, every 4 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 1 year.
