Induction Paclitaxel Followed by Concurrent Paclitaxel and Radiation Therapy for Cutaneous Angiosarcoma

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of soft tissue sarcoma. Prior work demonstrates very poor outcomes, with most patients developing metastatic disease and less than 50% surviving greater than 5 years. In other soft tissue sarcomas, the use of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy have improved progression-free survival in patients undergoing limited, organ-sparing surgeries. Taxane chemotherapy has shown efficacy in patients with metastatic angiosarcoma, but this has not been tested in patients with localized disease. This study examines the efficacy of induction paclitaxel followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy with paclitaxel prior to curative surgical resection.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Histologically or cytologically confirmed cutaneous angiosarcoma.
  2. * Measurable disease defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 5 mm with CT scan or ≥ 5 mm by clinical exam at the time of diagnosis
  3. * Currently receiving or planning to receive weekly paclitaxel for 12 weeks at 80 mg/m\^2 weekly. The patient must be able to begin radiotherapy within the first 7 weeks of paclitaxel treatment.
  4. * At least 18 years of age.
  5. * ECOG performance status ≤ 1
  6. * Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of the study, and one month after completion of the study
  7. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document (or that of legally authorized representative, if applicable).
  1. * Patients deemed ineligible for curative therapy by the treating medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, or surgeon.
  2. * A history of other malignancy ≤ 3 years previous with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin which were treated with local resection only or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  3. * Currently receiving any investigational agents.
  4. * Current central nervous system disease or distant metastatic disease not including local-regional lymph nodes or satellite lesions. Patients with known brain metastases must be excluded from this clinical trial because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
  5. * Grade 2 or greater neuropathy
  6. * A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to paclitaxel or other agents used in the study.
  7. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia.
  8. * Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 14 days of study entry.
  9. * HIV-positive patients whose CD4+ T-cell count is \< 350 cells/mcL.
