About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Followed by Interval Cytoreductive Surgery for Stage III/IV Ovarian, Tubal and Peritoneal Cancers: JCOG0206

A feasibility study of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) and postoperative chemotherapy for stage III/IV mullerian carcinomas such as ovarian, tubal and peritoneal carcinomas.

Read the detailed description

The purposes are to assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment starting with NAC and to know whether we can accurately diagnose these advanced carcinomas by imaging studies, cytologic findings and tumor markers without staging laparotomy or laparoscopy. Fifty-six patients with advanced mullerian carcinomas will be recruited to the study. After confirmation of diagnosis by laparoscopic inspection and biopsies, patients undergo 4 cycles of chemotherapy as NAC followed by ICS and additional 4 cycles of postsurgical chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is proportion of clinical complete remission after accomplishment of the protocol treatment and the major secondary endpoint is positive predictive value of diagnosis before laparoscopy regarding tumor origin, histology and stage. Based on the result of this study, we will conduct a phase III study to compare the treatment starting with NAC and primary cytoreductive surgery followed by postsurgical chemotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Paclitaxel and Carboplatin)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. proportion of clinical complete remission

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. positive predictive value (PPV) of prelaparoscopic diagnosis concerning the origin and histology

  2. proportion of the patients diagnosed as müllerian carcinoma by laparoscopic inspection and histopathology of biopsy specimen among those diagnosed by prelaparoscopic findings

  3. PPV of prelaparoscopic diagnosis concerning clinical stage; proportion of the patients diagnosed as stage III or IV by laparoscopic inspection among those diagnosed by prelaparoscopic findings

  4. PPV of overall prelaparoscopic diagnosis; proportion of the patients diagnosed as stage III or IV müllerian carcinoma by laparoscopic inspection and histopathology of biopsy specimen among those diagnosed by prelaparoscopic findings

  5. response rate to NAC among patients whose clinical diagnosis is confirmed by laparoscopy

  6. proportion of patients who received interval cytoreductive surgery (ICS) among patients whose clinical diagnosis is confirmed by laparoscopy

  7. progression-free survival among patients whose clinical diagnosis is confirmed by laparoscopy

  8. operative morbidity among all enrolled patients

  9. adverse events among all enrolled patients, and

  10. overall survival among all enrolled patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Paclitaxel and Carboplatin) in people with Ovarian Neoplasms and Fallopian Tube Neoplasms, run by Japan Clinical Oncology Group at 1 site in Japan.

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 10 inclusion and 11 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 31 Aug 2016. 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 Japan. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

proportion of clinical complete remission. 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 NCT00112086, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Aug 2016.
