Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced ovarian epithelial cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of First-Line Therapy of Ovarian Cancer With Sequential Regimens: Cisplatin-Prolonged Oral Topotecan (C-PORT) Followed by Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (PC)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have advanced ovarian epithelial cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the toxicity and tolerance of sequential therapy with prolonged
  • Determine the response rate and time to progression in this patient
  • Determine the relative pharmacokinetics of IV and prolonged oral administration of topotecan in the same patients and compare the pharmacodynamics of topo-1 inhibition when given by IV or oral route.

OUTLINE:

  • Regimen A: Patients receive cisplatin IV over 60-90 minutes on day 1 of each course. Topotecan IV is administered continuously on days 1-14 of course 1. Oral topotecan is administered twice daily on days 1-14 for courses 2, 3, and 4. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 4 courses.
  • Regimen B: After completion of regimen A, patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients (15 per arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin, cisplatin and paclitaxel in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 10 sites 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 9 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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 phase mean?

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 9 Nov 2012.
