Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving docetaxel together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Weekly Docetaxel and Capecitabine for Persistent or Recurrent Platinum Resistant Epithelial Carcinoma of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube or Peritoneum

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving docetaxel together with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel together with capecitabine works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cavity cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the response rate in patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cavity cancer treated with docetaxel and capecitabine.

Secondary

  • Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the quality of life during treatment of these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for ≥ 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, on day 1 of each course, and then at completion of study treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 2-3 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Tumor Response

    The number of partial and complete responders among all evaluable patients as defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guidelines

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Progression

    Progression is defined as a 20% increase in tumor size of all the target lesions along the longest diameter

    Measured: Evaluated every 8 weeks during treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Toxicity

    summary of grade 3 (per Common Toxicity Criteria) or higher toxicities which generally is described as a severe adverse reaction or symptom.

    Measured: Days 1, 8, 15, 21 of each course and treatment end (28 days after last dose or start of new therapy)

  3. Quality of Life

    comparison of treatment end to pre entry and day 1 of each treatment cycle.

    Measured: Pre-entry, day 1, treatment end

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine and docetaxel in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 45 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2017. 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 18 May 2009). 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?

Objective Tumor Response (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 30 Aug 2017.
