Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of two drugs, cediranib and sunitinib, on patients with a rare cancer called alveolar soft part sarcoma. The trial will see if either of the drugs help to shrink the tumors, and if so, which drug works better.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 16 or older with a specific type of cancer called metastatic Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma (ASPS). They should have measurable disease progression and normal organ/marrow function. Those who've had certain treatments like VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors can't join, but prior bevacizumab treatment is okay.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests two oral drugs, Cediranib and Sunitinib, which inhibit blood vessel growth in tumors. Participants will randomly receive one drug first and then switch to the other if their cancer progresses. The main goals are to see how well these drugs shrink the tumors and how long patients stay free from disease worsening.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include high blood pressure, fatigue, diarrhea, hand-foot syndrome (redness/pain/swelling of hands/feet), mouth sores, low white blood cell counts increasing infection risk, bleeding issues due to low platelets count, and possibly heart problems.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures

Answered by AI

What potential side effects should be taken into account when considering the utilization of Cediranib?

"Our team at Power has given Cediranib a rating of 2, as clinical trials have provided evidence that it is safe, yet efficacy remains unproven."

Answered by AI

How many participants have been enrolled for this trial at its maximum capacity?

"Unfortunately, recruitment for this trial has concluded. It was first listed on July 18th 2011 and edited lastly on November 19th 2022.
