What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gleevec/PaclitaxelDrug

    Also called Gleevec:Imatinib Mesylate, Paclitaxel: Taxol

    One treatment cycle:

    Gleevec: 300 mg twice a day orally for 4 consecutive days, then off for 3 days, every 7 days for 28 days.

    Paclitaxel: 80 mg/m^2/week intravenously, 3 weeks on, one week off, every 28 days.

    After 3 treatment cycles, decision made to continue or not with the combination based on tolerance and lack of progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. the Best Overall Clinical Response

    This is defined as the percentage of participants who had either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) as the best overall response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) for measurable disease or CA-125 criteria for non-measurable disease. The response is evaluated at 12 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free-tolerance

    This is defined as the percentage of participants who continued on treatment with no progression at 12 weeks since the start of treatment.A patient will be considered to have progression-free-tolerance if she does not drop out due to toxicity and does not have disease progression or die by the completion of 12 weeks on treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Progression-free-survival at 12 Months

    This defined as the percentage of participants who had progression free survival at 12 months from the beginning of the treatment.

    Measured: up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gleevec/Paclitaxel in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health 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 7 inclusion and 13 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 19 Nov 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 26 Sep 2011). 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?

the Best Overall Clinical Response (time frame: 12 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 19 Nov 2012.
