Trial summary

Over the last few years several novel agents have been defined which are active in the treatment of relapsed epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Many of these new agents seemed to have mechanisms of action that are different from Carboplatin and taxol. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of ModifiedTriple Doublet Therapy in the Treatment of Women With Newly Diagnosed Carcinoma of Müllerian Origin

Over the last few years several novel agents have been defined which are active in the treatment of relapsed epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Many of these new agents seemed to have mechanisms of action that are different from Carboplatin and taxol. This trial looks to evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of three sequential chemotherapy doublets in the treatment of women with newly diagnosed ovarian, primary peritoneal or tubal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To evaluate a novel regimen in ovarian carcinoma with an aim of demonstrating a higher than 50% laparotomy defined response rate. This rate is defined as the proportion of patients achieving either a pathologic complete response or a microscopic positive second look at the conclusion of therapy.

Primary study goals:

  • To determine the efficacy of a triple doublet regimen in carefully defined cohorts of patients as defined by the surgical defined response rate

Secondary study goals:

  • To evaluate incidence of tubulin mutations in primary and secondary surgical specimens.
  • To evaluate changes in IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, and FGF, at primary diagnosis, during and at the conclusion of therapy.
  • To describe initial IL-6, IL-8, and FGF levels in patients who ultimately achieve pathologic remission vs those with gross residual disease.

Patients will recieve 3 cycles of carboplatin and gemcitabine followed by 3 cycles of taxol and carboplatin and then three cycles of adriamycin and topotecan. All patients with a clinically complete response will then undergo second look operation to determine pathologically defined response.

What is being measured

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

  1. · To determine the efficacy of the triple doublet regimen as defined by second look laparotomy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. · To evaluate incidence of tubulin mutations in primary and secondary surgical specimens.

  2. · To evaluate changes in IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, and FGF at primary diagnosis, during and at the conclusion of therapy.

  3. · To describe initial IL-6 levels in patients who ultimately achieve pathologic remission vs those with gross residual disease at the time of SLO.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy, multiple agents in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 0 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 3 Jan 2008. 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 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?

· To determine the efficacy of the triple doublet regimen as defined by second look laparotomy. 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 3 Jan 2008.
