Brief summary

This phase II trial studies how well eribulin mesylate works in treating patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the activity of eribulin (eribulin mesylate) in the management of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer (progression-free survival \[PFS\]. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the toxicity profile of eribulin in patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. II. To estimate the survival of patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer treated with eribulin. III. To evaluate potential correlative studies as predictive or prognostic makers in this patient population (glucose-regulated protein 78 \[GRP78\] levels in tissue and blood, tumor protein p53 \[p53\] expression, apoptosis with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling \[TUNEL\] assay, apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 \[Bcl-2\] and Bcl2-associated X protein \[Bax\] using immunohistochemistry \[IHC\], proliferation with Ki-67 IHC, and expression levels of microtubule-associated variables, including tau protein, total alpha- and beta-tubulin, and classes II-IV beta-tubulin isotopes with IHC. OUTLINE: Patients receive eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) bolus over 2-5 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free SurvivalFrom the first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 6 monthsProgression-free survival measures the length of time a patient with cancer does not experience disease progression or death. It is defined as the time from first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not progressed or died, progression-free survival is censored at the time of last follow-up.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)At study drug administration until 30 days following the last dose. Assessed up to 2 years.Safety evaluation according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.3 was used to grade all SAEs. Grade 3+ hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities are reported.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Best Overall Response (BOR)Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until occurrence of progressive disease, assessed up to 4 years.BOR is defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence, evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions compared to the baseline; Stable Disease = Neither enough shrinkage for PR nor enough growth for PD; Progressive Disease = at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions from the smallest measurement recorded, with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Overall Survival (OS)From first day of treatment to time of death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 yearsOverall survival is defined as the time from first day of treatment to time of death due to any cause. If a patient is still alive, survival time is censored at the time of last follow-up.

Progression-free survival measures the length of time a patient with cancer does not experience disease progression or death. It is defined as the time from first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not progressed or died, progression-free survival is censored at the time of last follow-up.

Time frame: From the first day of treatment to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed at 6 months
