What is being measured

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

  1. Twelve-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate in Participants

    Tumor assessments were performed by Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to evaluate disease progression based on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Disease progression was recorded as any one of the following:

    • appearance of a new lesion
    • symptomatic deterioration
    • progression of target or nontarget lesions
    • death

    Participants who did not die or show show disease progression achieved PFS. PFS rate is the percent of participants who achieved PFS.

    Measured: up to 12 months following treatment initiation

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Twenty Four-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate in Participants

    Tumor assessments were performed by Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to evaluate disease progression based on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    Disease progression was recorded as any one of the following:

    • appearance of a new lesion
    • symptomatic deterioration
    • progression of target or nontarget lesions
    • death

    Participants who did not die or show show disease progression achieved PFS. PFS rate is the percent of participants who achieved PFS.

    Measured: up to 24 months following treatment initiation

  2. Median Time to Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time to PFS was the interval from the date of registration to the earliest date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.

    Time of PFS was censored

    • on the last available tumor assessment date for participants leaving the study prior to disease progression or death; and also for participants requiring off-study medication or additional debulking surgery (where assessment date used was the one prior to off-study medication or surgery),
    • at Day 1, for living participants with no post-baseline tumor assessments.

    Median PFS was estimated from a Kaplan-Meier curve.

    Measured: up to approximately 1300 days following treatment initiation

  3. Tumor Response Rate Based on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Tumors were assessed by CT and MRI. Tumor response was evaluated by GOG RECIST in which:

    • Complete response (CR) was the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions, with no evidence of new lesions
    • Partial response (PR) was at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all measurable target lesions

    Participants with a response (CR or PR) were to have the initial response confirmed by tumor imaging in 4-6 weeks.

    Measured: up to 12 months following treatment initiation

  4. Twelve-month Recurrence-free Survival (RFS) Rate in Participants With Non Measurable Disease at Baseline

    Participants with Recurrence-free survival (RFS) were participants with a non-measurable disease at baseline, who had not achieved disease progression nor had died.

    Disease progression included the following:

    • the appearance of a new lesion
    • symptomatic deterioration
    • progression of non-target lesions
    • a predefined serum CA 125 increase.

    RFS rate was the percent of participants in the non-measurable disease subgroup who achieved RFS.

    Measured: up to 12 months following treatment initiation

  5. Median Time to Recurrence-free Survival (RFS) in Participants With Non-measurable Disease at Baseline

    The time to RFS was programmatically defined as the interval from the date of registration to the earliest date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.

    Participants were

    • censored on the last available CA 125 biomarker blood draw date if
    • left the study prior to disease progression or death
    • they received off-study anti-tumor medication
    • underwent debulking surgery
    • censored at Day 1 if they were alive had no post baseline CA 125 biomarker blood draw.

    Measured: up to approximately 1500 days following treatment initiation

  6. CA-125 Response Rate

    A CA-125 response was considered at least a 50% reduction in the level of the biomarker, CA-125, from a pretreatment level, which was confirmed and maintained for at least 28 days.

    The overall CA-125 biomarker response rate was defined as the number of participants in the measurable disease subgroup who met the above criteria at least once within the study treatment period +21 days, divided by the number of evaluable participants in the disease subgroup.

    Measured: up to 12 months after treatment initiation

  7. Overall Survival Rate

    Survival was the observed length of life from entry into the study to death or the date of last contact.

    The overall survival rate (percentage of participants showing survival) at 12 and 24-months is reported here.

    Measured: up to up to approximately 1700 days after treatment initiation

  8. Median Overall Survival Time

    Survival was the observed length of life from entry into the study to death or the date of last contact.

    The median overall survival time was estimated using Kaplan-Meier Curve.

    Measured: up to approximately 1700 days after treatment initiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab (Avastin®), Docetaxel (Taxotere®) and Oxaliplatin (Eloxatin®) in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Sanofi 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 13 inclusion and 19 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 23 Aug 2012. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Aug 2012). 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?

Twelve-month Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate in Participants (time frame: up to 12 months following treatment initiation). 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 23 Aug 2012.
