Study Summary

This trial is testing three different combination chemotherapy regimens to treat endometrial cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced (stage III/IV) or recurrent endometrial cancer. Eligible participants may have had hormonal therapy but must not have received chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiation outside of specific criteria. They should have a certain level of blood cells and organ function, no serious wounds or bleeding risks, controlled seizures if present, stable heart conditions without recent severe events, and no known allergies to certain biologic drugs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares three treatment combinations: Paclitaxel with Carboplatin and Bevacizumab; Paclitaxel with Carboplatin and Temsirolimus; Ixabepilone with Carboplatin and Bevacizumab. It aims to find out which regimen is most effective in stopping tumor growth by killing the cells or preventing them from dividing.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs used, increased risk of infection due to lowered blood cell counts, potential bleeding issues related to Bevacizumab use, nerve damage that could cause pain or numbness (neuropathy), as well as general symptoms like fatigue and digestive problems.

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm III (ixabepilone, carboplatin, bevacizumab)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 1 hour, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Arm II (paclitaxel, carboplatin, temsirolimus)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and temsirolimus IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Arm I (paclitaxel, carboplatin, bevacizumab)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there a heightened risk associated with Bevacizumab?

"While Phase 2 trials don't have the same level of efficacy data as Phase 3, this medication did show some signs of safety in earlier testing. Bevacizumab received a score of 2."

Answered by AI

Is this research being conducted in numerous hospitals in the city?

"So far, this study has 100 enrollees from locations such as University of Missouri - Ellis Fischel in Columbia, Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic-Sheboygan in Sheboygan, and Michiana Hematology Oncology PC-Elkhart in Elkhart. There are also another 100 enrollees spread out across different medical centres."

Answered by AI

What are Bevacizumab's most common applications in medical treatment?

"Bevacizumab is generally used as a first line of treatment. This medication can also be effective in treating other conditions such as metastatic bladder cancer, stiff shoulder, and advanced testicular cancer."

Answered by AI

Are we still looking for participants in this experiment?

"This particular trial is not enrolling patients at the moment. The study was first made public on September 14th, 2009 and updated for the last time on September 23rd, 2022. If you are interested in alternative trials, there are 2093 endometrial neoplasms studies and 1672 Bevacizumab clinical trials that are still admitting participants."

Answered by AI

Can you tell me about any other times Bevacizumab has been used in clinical trials?

"In 1997, Bevacizumab was first trialed at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since then, there have been 3344 completed trials with 1672 more presently underway. Many of these active clinical trials are based in Columbia, Missouri."

Answered by AI

How many willing participants are needed for this research project?

"This specific trial is not enrolling patients at the moment, however, there are 2093 studies for endometrial neoplasms and 1672 trials involving Bevacizumab that are. The original posting for this trial was on September 14th, 2009 with the most recent update being from September 23rd, 2022."
