Combination Chemotherapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Cancer
A Phase 1/2 study testing mitoxantrone hydrochloride, thiotepa and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phase I/II Study of High Dose Topotecan, Mitoxantrone and Thiotepa (TMT) Followed by Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Patients With Recurrent Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian cancer that has not recurred or that has not responded to previous chemotherapy.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and the dose limiting toxicities of topotecan, mitoxantrone, and thiotepa given in combination followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with recurrent or refractory platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. II. Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of these patients after this therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of topotecan. All patients have peripheral stem cells collected. Patients then receive topotecan according to an escalating dose schedule, and mitoxantrone and thiotepa on a fixed dose schedule. Patients receive topotecan by continuous infusion for 24 hours on days 1-3, mitoxantrone intravenously over 1 hour on days 1-3, and thiotepa intravenously over 4 hours on days 1-3, followed 48 hours later by infusion of their peripheral stem cells. Patients may receive a second course of chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Dose escalation of topotecan continues in cohorts of 3-6 patients each until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed every week for the first month, then every month for 6 months, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing mitoxantrone hydrochloride, thiotepa and topotecan hydrochloride in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Georgetown University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2011.
