What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1 or Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) Changes

    Response by tumor measurement occurred if there was documented and confirmed CR or PR determined by 2 consecutive investigator assessments that were at least 28 days apart. Response was assessed by either the RECIST v 1.1 or by CA-125 changes, based on measurable or non-measurable disease at baseline. Per RECIST v 1.1 (for measurable disease), CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter. Per CA-125 changes (for non-measurable disease), CR: decrease in the CA-125 to within the normal limits and less than (<) 40 international units per milliliter (IU/mL) and no clinical or radiological evidence of disease, PR: a greater than (>) 50 percent (%) decrease in CA-125 values from baseline, and no clinical or radiological evidence of new lesions.

    Measured: Screening and prior to infusion at Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 17 and at follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death (Progression Free Survival [PFS])

    PFS was defined as the time from the first day of study drug treatment to the time of documented disease progression or death, whichever came first. Participants who were lost to follow-up or who had not progressed at the time of study completion or early termination were censored at the date of last tumor assessment. The percentage of participants experiencing disease progression or death was calculated as the number of participants with event divided by the number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Screening and prior to infusion at Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 17 and at follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab)

  2. Median Time of PFS

    PFS was defined as the time from the first day of study drug treatment to the time of documented disease progression or death, whichever came first. Participants who were lost to follow-up or who had not progressed at the time of study completion or early termination were censored at the date of last tumor assessment.

    Measured: Screening and prior to infusion at Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 17 and at follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab)

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of response was defined as the time from the initial CR or PR to the time of disease progression.

    Measured: Screening and prior to infusion at Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 17 and at follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab)

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Died

    The percentage of participants experiencing death was calculated as the number of participants with event divided by the number of participants analyzed, multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2, Day 1 of Cycles 3-17, follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab) and then every 3 months until death or loss to follow-up (up to 5 years)

  5. Overall Survival

    Survival was the interval of time from date of first dose of study medication to date of death at any time. Participants who had not died were censored at the date of last contact when they were known to be alive.

    Measured: Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycles 1 and 2, Day 1 of Cycles 3-17, follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab) and then every 3 months until death or loss to follow-up (up to 5 years)

  6. Kaplan Meier Estimate of Percentage of Participants Who Were Free of Disease Progression at 3, 6, and 12 Months

    Per RECIST v 1.1, disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions, and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: 3, 6, and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pertuzumab (rhuMAb 2C4) in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Genentech, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. 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 Mar 2017. 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 23 Jun 2015). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1 or Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) Changes (time frame: Screening and prior to infusion at Cycles 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, and 17 and at follow-up (30 days after the last dose of pertuzumab)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 8 Mar 2017.
