Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall survival
up to 5 years

The primary outcome measure that will be measured for all trial patients is survival time. This is defined in whole days as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause; for those who have not been reported as dead at the time of analysis, the survival time will be censored at the date of last follow-up.

Secondary Endpoints

Disease specific survival time
up to 5 years
Number of patients experience a grade 3 or 4 toxicity
up to 5 years
Disease-free survival time
up to 5 years

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm A - Standard Surgery (ILND)ACTIVE_COMPARATORPart of randomisation 1. The total treatment duration (Inguinal Lymph Node Dissection (ILND)) is estimated to be over 1 day for those patients allocated to Arm A - standard surgery.
Arm B - neoadjuvant chemotherapyEXPERIMENTALPart of randomisation 1. Patients will receive up to 4 cycles of Paclitaxel, Ifosfamide, and Cisplatin (TIP). Administration on an outpatient basis: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, day 1, Ifosfamide 900 mg/m2, days 2-5, Cisplatin 15 mg/m2, days 1-5 Administration on an inpatient basis: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, day 1, Ifosfamide 1200 mg/m2, days 1-3, Cisplatin 25 mg/m2, days 1-3
Arm C - neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapyEXPERIMENTALPart of randomisation 1. Radiotherapy dose is 45Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks using 6-10 MV photons to all regions. Concurrent cisplatin 40mg/m2 will be given weekly, subject to GFR\>45mls/min.
Arm P - prophylactic PLNDEXPERIMENTALPart of randomisation 2. Prophylactic pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) - The total treatment duration is estimated to be over 1 day. Patients who have NOT received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy will receive adjuvant chemoradiotherapy: Cisplatin 40mg/m2 will be given weekly, subject to GFR\>45mls/min. Groin: One or both groins may be boosted up to 54Gy in 25 fractions. An IMRT boost of up to 57 Gy can be given to recurrent or residual macroscopic tumour Pelvis: the dose is limited to 45Gy unless IMRT is available. An IMRT boost of up to 54Gy in 25 fractions is applied to: 1. Any macroscopic tumour or pathological lymph nodes 2. Electively to external iliac nodes in patient with high disease burden Patients who have had neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy will have prophylactic PLND alone.
Arm Q - Surveillance no prophylactic PLNDNO_INTERVENTIONno prophylactic PLND Part of randomisation 2. For patients who have NOT received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy: Groin: One or both groins may be boosted up to 54Gy in 25 fractions. An IMRT boost of up to 57 Gy can be given to recurrent or residual macroscopic tumour Pelvis: the dose is limited to 45Gy unless IMRT is available. An IMRT boost of up to 54Gy in 25 fractions is applied to: Any macroscopic tumour or pathological lymph nodes Electively to external iliac nodes in patient with high disease burden
Arm A: TIPOTHERPatients will receive treatment for 4 cycles administered every 21 days. Cycles 1-4 (1 cycle = 21 days) * paclitaxel 250 mg/m\^2 IV over 24 hours on Day 1 including premedication as defined in the protocol (eg, dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and H2 blocker) * ifosfamide 1500 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 2-5 with mesna protection as defined in the protocol * cisplatin 25 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 2-5 * pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneous on Day 6 or 7 or G-CSF as defined in the protocol on Days 6-18 Patients may commence with each Arm A cycle provided they meet the criteria as defined in the protocol.
Arm B: TI-CEOTHERPatients will receive treatment for a total of 5 cycles. Cycles 1-2 (1 cycle = 14 days) * paclitaxel 200 mg/m\^2 IV over 3 hours on Day 1 including premedication as defined in the protocol (eg, dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and H2 blocker) * ifosfamide 2000 mg/m\^2 IV daily on Days 1-3 with mesna protection as defined in the protocol * G-CSF 10 µg/kg subcutaneously on Days 3-15 (cycle 1) and Days 3-14 (cycle 2) or pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneous on Day 4 or 6 (cycle 1) and Day 4 or 5 (cycle 2) * leukapheresis every 14 days, if there is an inadequate number of CD34+ cells/kg collected in cycle 1 Cycles 3-5 (1 cycle = 21 days) * carboplatin daily on Days 1-3 * etoposide 400 mg/m\^2 daily on Days 1-3 * stem cell reinfusion on day 5 * pegylated G-CSF 6 mg subcutaneously or G-CSF at approximately 5 µg/kg daily on Days 5-15 Patients may commence with each Arm B cycle provided they meet the criteria as defined in the protocol.

Frequently asked questions about Ifosfamide

What is Ifosfamide used for?

Ifosfamide is an investigational small molecule being studied in oncology for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, usual type, and germ cell tumors. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA.

Who makes Ifosfamide?

Ifosfamide is being developed by United Therapeutics Corporation, which trades under the ticker UTHR. The company is conducting Phase 3 trials for this investigational oncology drug.

What phase is Ifosfamide in?

Ifosfamide is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not received FDA approval and is still being studied in clinical trials for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis and germ cell tumors.

What clinical trials is Ifosfamide in?

Ifosfamide is being studied in two Phase 3 trials. NCT02305654 is recruiting 200 male patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis in the US and UK. NCT02375204 is active but not recruiting 420 male patients with germ cell tumors across multiple countries.

How does Ifosfamide work?

Ifosfamide is a small molecule oncology drug. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available information, so its mechanism of action is not detailed here.
