Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression - Free Survival (PFS)
The PFS was assessed as median number of days from the date of randomization until the first documented sign of disease progression (increase in disease; radiographic, clinical, or both) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.
Every 6 weeks from randomization during the first 9 months and thereafter, every 9 weeks up to 20 months
Secondary Outcomes (4)
6-month Progression - Free Survival
6 months
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response
Every 6 weeks during first 9 months of the study and thereafter every 9 weeks up to 20 months
Overall Survival
Baseline up to End of Study (an average of 4 years)
Duration of Response (DOR)
Up to 20 months
Study Arms (2)
Trabectedin
EXPERIMENTALTrabectedin 1.5 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) will be given as 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression.
Doxorubicin plus Ifosfamide
ACTIVE COMPARATORDoxorubicin (as a monotherapy) 75 mg per m\^2 will be given intravenously every 3 weeks or Doxorubicin 60 mg per m\^2 will be given intravenously every 3 weeks followed by ifosfamide 6 to 9 gram (g)/m\^2 every 3 weeks until disease progression.
Interventions
Trabectedin 1.5 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) will be given as 24-hour continuous intravenous infusion every 3 weeks until disease progression.
Doxorubicin 60 or 75 mg/m\^2 will be given intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression.
Ifosfamide 6 to 9 g/m\^2 will be given intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pathological diagnosis of translocation-related sarcomas (TRS) including the following subtypes: alveolar soft part sarcoma, angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, clear cell sarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (prior hormone therapy allowed), low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, myxoid chondrosarcoma, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL) and synovial sarcoma
- Participants must have unresectable locally advanced or metastatic progressive disease prior to enrolment
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS) score of 0-2
- Adequate cardiac function, defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) within normal limits according to institutional standards, as shown by echocardiography or scintigraphy multiple-gated acquisition scan \[MUGA\]
- Measurable disease as defined by the radiological (computed tomography \[CT\] scan and magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v.1.0) guidelines
You may not qualify if:
- Known hypersensitivity to any components of the intravenous formulation of trabectedin or the comparators
- Prior chemotherapy treatment or irradiation of the lesion if only one target lesion is available
- Brain metastases and/or leptomeningeal metastases, even if treated
- Pregnant or lactating women or men and women of reproductive potential who are not using effective contraceptive methods
- History of another neoplastic disease (except basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ adequately treated) unless in remission for five years or more
