Trial Outcomes & Findings for Gossypol Acetic Acid in Treating Patients With Recurrent, Metastatic, or Primary Adrenocortical Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery (NCT NCT00848016)

NCT ID: NCT00848016

Last Updated: 2014-05-07

Results Overview

In order for a patient to be a confirmed objective responder, they must achieve a PR or CR on consecutive evaluations, at least 4 weeks apart. The proportion of patients who achieve a confirmed objective response to treatment will be estimated by the standard binomial estimator, i.e., the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions and normalization of tumor biomarkers. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimension (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

Measure
Treatment (R-(-)-Gossypol Acetic Acid)

Patients receive 20mg oral R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The Proportion of Patients Who Achieve a Confirmed Objective Response to Treatment, Either Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) as Defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria
0 percentage of participants
No confidence interval was estimated due to a lack of response.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From registration to date of last follow-up or death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years

The overall survival time is defined as the time from registration to date of last follow-up or death due to any cause. Estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

Measure
Treatment (R-(-)-Gossypol Acetic Acid)
n=29 Participants
Patients receive 20mg oral R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid once daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Overall Survival
8.5 months
Interval 5.0 to 9.8

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From registration to progression or death, whichever occurs first, up to 2 years.

The progression-free survival is defined as the time from registration to the date of progression or death, whichever comes first. The distributions of progression-free survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
