About this study

Official title: Comparison of Quality of Life in Patients With Platinum-sensitive Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Cancer When Treated With Treatment With Trabectedin/PLD or Standard Platinum-based Therapy

Effect of biweekly schedule of PLD on dose-limiting toxicity of PPE and patient's quality of life

Read the detailed description

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) formulation has been approved for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). Toxic skin reactions e.g. palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) were reported as being the dose-limiting toxicity and have an impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). The primary aim of this study was to optimise the toxicity profile by choosing a biweekly schedule of PLD Furthermore, QoL was investigated. Secondary objective of this study was to evaluate the response rates of this new regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of Palmar-plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE)

    The outcome will be measured by number of participants with reported skin toxicity PPE of CTC (Common Toxicity Criteria)-Grade I / II / III / IV.

    Grade I - Dysesthesia/paraesthesia tingling of hands and feet; Grade II - Discomfort in holding objects and upon walking, painless swelling and erythema; Grade III - painful erythema and swelling of palms and soles, periungual erythema and swelling; Grade IV - Desquamation, ulceration, blistering, severe pain

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method

    Measured: for up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Caelyx in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by North Eastern German Society of Gynaecological Oncology.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 16 Dec 2024. 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 16 Dec 2024). 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?

Occurrence of Palmar-plantar Erythrodysesthesia (PPE) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 18 months). 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 16 Dec 2024.
