About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial of Conventional Paclitaxel and Carboplatin Versus Dose Dense Weekly Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Stage II-IV Mullerian Carcinoma

The purpose of the study is to compare progression-free survival of conventional paclitaxel and carboplatin vs weekly paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to residual disease 1 cm or less vs more than 1cm, stage II vs III vs IV, and histology (clear cell or mucinous vs. serous or others). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 for 6-9 cycles.

Arm II: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour days 1, 8, and 15 and carboplatin IV over 60 minutes on day 1 for 6-9 cycles.

In both arms, cycles repeat 6 cycles every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additional 3 cycles are given if clinical partial or complete response after 6 cycles.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total 600 patients (300 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 3 years. Assuming median progression-free survivals of 16 months and 21 months and a recruitment period of 3 years this can be achieved by recruiting 600 patients designed to have 80 % detect to a difference between the two arms at the two-sided 5% level of statistical significance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Suvaival

    From the registration date, the earliest observed event from any of the following events 1. Death from any cause death date 2. The date of the first diagnostic imaging examination that confirmed exacerbation and recurrence.

    Clinical exacerbation diagnosis date if not based on diagnostic imaging 3. If none of the above events are observed, the most recent outpatient consultation date / in hospital

    Measured: During the protocol treatment then 18 months from the last day of the protocol treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    The period from the registration date to the date of death due to any cause. In the case of survivors, the final surviving confirmation date will be censored.

    In the case of untraceable cases, the last surviving confirmation date before tracking becomes impossible will be censored.

    Measured: During the protocol treatment then 18 months from the last day of the protocol treatment

  2. QOL

    QOL assessed by FACT-Taxane(Version 4A)

    Measured: During the protocol treatment then 18 months

  3. Adverse Event

    Adverse Event assessed by CTC(Version 2.0 Japanese version)

    Measured: During the protocol treatment then 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Paclitaxel+Carboplatin in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Cancer, run by Japanese Gynecologic 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 6 inclusion and 5 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 17 Feb 2020. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Progression Free Suvaival (time frame: During the protocol treatment then 18 months from the last day of the protocol treatment). 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 NCT00226915, which also lists 29 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 17 Feb 2020.
