Brief summary

This phase II trial studies how well efatutazone dihydrochloride works in treating patients with previously treated myxoid liposarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as efatutazone dihydrochloride, 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.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the confirmed response rate for efatutazone dihydrochloride (efatutazone) in patients with advanced myxoid liposarcoma whose disease has progressed on at least one prior therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse event rates for efatutazone treated patients with advanced myxoid liposarcoma whose disease has progressed on at least one prior therapy. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the predictive value of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and retinoid X receptors (RXR) tumor expression from archived patient tumor samples. II. To assess the predictive value of the expression of PPARgamma-regulated markers of adipocytes differentiation. III. To assess the predictive value of the expression of PPARgamma-regulated cell cycle proteins. IV. To assess the effects of efatutazone treatment on serum adiponectin levels. OUTLINE: Patients receive efatutazone dihydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) continuously. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Confirmed Overall Response Rate Per the RECIST 1.1 CriteriaUp to 24 weeks (8 cycles)The response rate (percentage) is the percent of patients whose best response was Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Percentage of successes will be estimated by 100 times the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients.

Pre-assignment details

A protocol amendment (Update #02) removed the option for patients to be randomized to Placebo; the study went from being a randomized study to a single arm study. The discrepancy in the number of patients who 'Started' the study and the Protocol Enrollment number is due to there being 2 patients randomized to Placebo prior to Update #02.
