Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelle and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Open-label, Multicenter, Phase I/II Trial to Evaluate Efficacy Safety of the Combination Therapy of Genexol-PM and Carboplatin as a Firstline Treatment in Subjects With Advanced Ovarian Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelle and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelle and carboplatin and to see how well they work as first-line therapy in treating patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelle and carboplatin as first-line therapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. (Phase I)
  • Evaluate the efficacy of this regimen, in terms of CA-125 response rate after 6 courses of therapy. (Phase II)

Secondary

  • Assess, preliminarily, the antitumor activity of this regimen, in terms of objective response rate (complete response and partial response), time to tumor progression, and progression-free survival, in these patients. (Phase I)
  • Evaluate the safety profiles of this regimen in these patients. (Phase I)
  • Determine the objective response rate, as measured by RECIST criteria, in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
  • Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
  • Determine the overall response in patients treated with this regimen. (Phase II)
  • Evaluate the safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients. (Phase II)

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose (Phase I)

  2. Efficacy, in terms of CA-125 response rate after 6 courses of therapy (Phase II)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Preliminary antitumor activity, in terms of objective response rate (complete response and partial response), time to tumor progression, and progression-free survival (Phase I)

  2. Safety profiles (Phase I)

  3. Objective response rate as measured by RECIST criteria (Phase II)

  4. Overall survival (Phase II)

  5. Overall response (Phase II)

  6. Safety and toxicity (Phase II)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing carboplatin and paclitaxel-loaded polymeric micelle in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 4 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in South Korea. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose (Phase I). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Aug 2013.
