About this study

Official title: Phase II Evaluation Of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy, Interval Debulking Followed By Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy In Women With Stage III And IV Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer Or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

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 or combining chemotherapy with surgery may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and surgery in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer treated with neoadjuvant paclitaxel and carboplatin followed by surgery and adjuvant paclitaxel and carboplatin.
  • Estimate the percentage of these patients whose disease is successfully cytoreduced to less than 1 cm in diameter following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Evaluate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Explore the relationship between tumor p53 expression, proliferation rate as measured by proliferating cell nuclear antigen and apoptotic rate, and human tumor cloning assay results at time of debulking surgery with progression-free survival and overall survival in these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive neoadjuvant therapy comprising paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 35 days of receiving the third course of chemotherapy, patients with at least a 50% reduction in CA 125 undergo debulking surgery. Within 35 days of undergoing surgery, patients with a tumor reduction to below 1 cm receive adjuvant therapy comprising paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin intraperitoneally (IP) on day 1 and paclitaxel IP on day 8. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 55 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of registration until the date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive were censored at the date of last contact. Patients were followed every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for years 2 and 3, and then annually for years 4 and 5.

    Measured: assessed every 3 months for 1st year, then every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for years 4 and 5

  2. Progression-Free Survival

    Progression was defined as a CA-125 value that is both twice the nadir since registration and greater than 70 units/ml, and is confirmed by a second determination at least 7 days apart, or appearance of any new lesion/site. Symptomatic deterioration was defined as a global deterioration of health status requiring removal from protocol treatment. Progression-Free Survival was defined as the time from the date of registration to the date of progression, symptomatic deterioration, or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive and progression-free were censored at last contact date.

    Measured: Monthly during protocol treatment, then every 3 months up to the end of Year 1, then every 6 months for the next two years, then annually up to Year 5.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing carboplatin, paclitaxel and debulking surgery in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

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 8 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (time frame: assessed every 3 months for 1st year, then every 6 months for 2 years, then annually for years 4 and 5). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00008138, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2016.
