Avatar-Directed Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

NCT02312245

Description:

This phase II trial studies how well Avatar-directed chemotherapy works in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that does not respond to platinum anti-cancer drugs. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, gemcitabine hydrochloride, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, topotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Using an Avatar, a living tumor sample with similar genetic characteristics to the original tumor, may help determine which chemotherapy is most effective.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the response rate of Avatar-directed salvage chemotherapy in patients with
      platinum-resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the progression-free survival of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian,
      primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers receiving Avatar-directed salvage chemotherapy.

      II. To determine the overall survival of patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, primary
      peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers receiving Avatar-directed salvage chemotherapy.

      III. To determine the adverse events for patients with platinum-resistant ovarian, primary
      peritoneal and fallopian tube cancers receiving Avatar-directed salvage chemotherapy.

      IV. To determine the correlation between patient response and response in their Avatar.

      V. To enrich the Avatar response signature in response to Avatar-directed therapy using
      patient outcomes.

      VI. To compare the response rates between patients who did or did not receive bevacizumab
      treatment.

      OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 treatment arms as directed by Avatar results.

      ARM A: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 1-96 hours on days 1, 8, and 15.
      Patients may also receive bevacizumab IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat
      every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

      ARM B: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15.
      Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM C: Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 60 minutes on
      day 1. Patients may also receive bevacizumab IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15. Courses
      repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM D: Patients receive topotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 every 21 days
      or days 1, 8, and 15 every 28 days. Patients may also receive bevacizumab IV over 90 minutes
      on day 1 every 21 days or days 1 and 15 every 28 days. Courses repeat every 21 or 28 days in
      the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months for 3 years.

Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:Female
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Proportion of patients with a confirmed tumor response, defined as complete response or partial response estimated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 criteria
Time Frame:24 weeks
Safety Issue:
Description:Estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the exact Binomial method. The primary analysis will pool across all patients, and tumor response rate by treatment arm will also be looked at in an exploratory fashion.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Incidence of adverse events (AE)
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Maximum grade for each type of AE will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine AE patterns.
Measure:Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame:Time from registration to death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Measure:Progression free survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Time from registration to the first of either disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.
Measure:Response rates
Time Frame:Up to 3 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The Chi-square or Fisher's Exact test will be used to compare the response rates between patients who did or did not receive bevacizumab treatment. The response rates will also be reported by treatment type (bevacizumab or no bevacizumab).
