Adavosertib Before Surgery in Treating Patients With Advanced High Grade Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

NCT02659241

Description:

This pilot early phase I trial studies how adavosertib affects the tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of patients undergoing surgery for high grade (fast growing or aggressive) ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Certain characteristics in the DNA of these patients may affect how well they respond to treatment. Learning how adavosertib affects DNA in tumor cells may help doctors plan effective treatment.

Purpose

This pilot early phase I trial studies how adavosertib affects the tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of patients undergoing surgery for high grade (fast growing or aggressive) ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Certain characteristics in the DNA of these patients may affect how well they respond to treatment. Learning how adavosertib affects DNA in tumor cells may help doctors plan effective treatment.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To explore baseline levels and effects of adavosertib (AZD1775) on DNA copy number,
      mutation, and level of ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein expression (together described as
      "molecular results") in tumor protein p53 (p53)-related pathways before and after treatment
      in women with primary advanced high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary
      peritoneal cancer.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To correlate molecular results to clinical endpoints including response and survival.

      II. To correlate molecular results to pathologic endpoints including tumor volume and
      apoptosis.

      III. To compare DNA copy number and level of RNA and protein expression in p53-related
      pathways in tissue from patients treated with AZD1775 to those untreated with AZD1775 in the
      preoperative period.

      IV. To determine the toxicity of AZD1775 given preoperatively, with a focus on postoperative
      wound healing.

      V. To determine the feasibility of treating preoperatively with AZD1775.

      OUTLINE:

      Patients receive adavosertib orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-5. Patients then undergo
      standard of care laparoscopy. Patients may also receive adavosertib PO QD on days 8-12,
      15-19, and 22-26 for up to 28 days based on surgery schedule.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3
      months thereafter.

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

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Change in level of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) copy number in p53-related pathways
Time Frame:Baseline up to 28 days
Safety Issue:
Description:Descriptive statistics and graphical methods will be used to summarize the change in DNA copy number from pre-treatment to post-treatment with adavosertib. These changes for untreated patients will also be summarized. A paired t-test will be used to test that mean changes from pre-treatment to post-treatment are different from 0 if the changes are found to be normally distributed. Otherwise, median changes from pre-treatment to post-treatment will be tested with a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. A 2-sample t-test will be used to compare mean changes between treated and untreated patients if the changes are normally distributed. Otherwise, median changes will be compared between treated and untreated patients with a Wilcoxon rank sum test.
