Delayed Initiation of Olaparib Maintenance Therapy in Platinum Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

NCT04377087

Description:

The purpose of this study is to test if delaying the start of the olaparib until there is a rise in a tumor marker called CA-125 will result in a longer time until the next or different treatment for the patient's cancer. The study will also evaluate how delaying the start of maintenance therapy will affect symptoms; physical functioning; quality of life; and impact on finances.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test if delaying the start of the olaparib until there is a rise in a tumor marker called CA-125 will result in a longer time until the next or different treatment for the patient's cancer. The study will also evaluate how delaying the start of maintenance therapy will affect symptoms; physical functioning; quality of life; and impact on finances.

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase II trial will investigate if waiting until the time of chemical recurrence,
      denoted by rising CA125, to start a PARP inhibitor will lead to an improved time to next
      therapy with improved quality of life and at a lower financial toxicity.

      PARP-I have shown efficacy as both monotherapy and as maintenance therapy. This trial will
      explore whether patients with recurrent ovarian cancer could derive the same efficacy benefit
      from a delayed start of a PARP-I compared to immediate maintenance therapy. Delayed start
      would have the benefit of sparing the physical, psychological, and financial toxicity
      associated with prolonged treatment. This approach would be particularly relevant in a
      population of platinum-sensitive patients who can have prolonged treatment-free intervals.

      With widespread use of PARP-I, regardless of timing, understanding, and overcoming PARP-I
      resistance is becoming a major clinical need.

      Enrollment will start within 8 weeks of completion of platinum-based treatment. Monitored
      with CA 125 levels every 28 days. Olaparib will be started when CA 125 rises by two-fold of
      their nadir value. Olaparib will be dosed at 300 mg orally twice a day, 28 days of treatment
      will be a cycle. Follow-up will consist of CA125 drawn every 28 days and CT scans obtained at
      doubling of CA- 125 and then every 12 weeks* to assess for recurrence or progression.
      Clinician- and patient-reported adverse events recorded every 28 days. Cancer-related worry
      and distress assessed every 28 days. Measures of quality of life and physical function, and
      financial toxicity assessed every 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Time to Next Therapy

Per RECIST 1.1, Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Safety Issue:
Description:The rate of Serious Adverse Events per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 that are possibly, probably or definitely related to study treatment.
Measure:Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 42 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The proportion of patients with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.
