A phase II trial of weekly nab-paclitaxel for progressive and symptomatic desmoid tumors.

ABSTRACT: Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) are mesenchymal neoplasms, with potential aggressive course and relevant clinical impact. New systemic therapy modalities are needed in this symptomatic/progressive population. In this multicenter, phase II trial (NCT03275818), patients with symptomatic/progressing DF received three cycles of weekly nab-paclitaxel. Brief pain inventory short form (BPI-SF) was collected at baseline and in every visit. MRI was performed every 3 months. Primary composite endpoint was RECIST 1.1 overall response rate (ORR) and/or clinical response (improvement ≥ 2 points in BPI-SF). If 40% of patients achieved clinical/radiological response, further investigation would be warranted. Toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS), pattern of response and its correlation with clinical best r
