Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a multi-centre, randomised Phase 3, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to determine the efficacy and safety of oral AP23573 (MK-8669) versus oral placebo in patients with metastatic sarcoma. Eligible patients include those with metastatic soft-tissue or bone sarcoma who have achieved a complete response, partial response or stable disease following 1st, 2nd or 3rd line chemotherapy for metastatic sarcoma. The trial is designed to test the hypothesis that a clinically significant improvement in progression-free survival will be induced in patients treated with AP23573 compared to placebo. It is anticipated that approximately 650 patients, age from 13 years will participate in this trial. AP23573 will be administered once daily as oral tablets for 5 consecutive days followed by a 2-day dosing holiday each week at a dose of 40 mg per day. Patients randomised to the placebo arm will receive matched tablets consisting of excipients without active drug

Patients must have achieved an ongoing complete response, partial response or stable disease following prior therapy as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) guidelines. The disease status at study entry will be confirmed through an independent radiographic review during the screening period (prior to randomisation). Only eligible patients will be randomized. Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either AP23573 or placebo by oral administration. Treatment will continue until progressive disease by RECIST guidelines is documented or other discontinuation criteria are met. Patients will be stratified by geographical region, histological category (soft-tissue or bone sarcoma), and prior treatment (1st line or 2nd/3rd line). Disease assessments will be performed every 8 weeks and assessed in accordance with the RECIST guidelines. Patients will be followed for overall survival for at least 24 months and up to 60 months following randomisation.
