About this study

Official title: A Phase I Safety Study of Farletuzumab (MORAb-003), Carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) in Subjects With Platinum-sensitive Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combination therapy with farletuzumab (MORAb-003), carboplatin, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is safe.

Read the detailed description

Farletuzumab (MORAb-003) is a monoclonal antibody that has the potential to be an effective agent against epithelial ovarian cancer (including primary fallopian tube and peritoneal adenocarcinoma) in combination with other drugs. Farletuzumab works by a different mechanism from other cancer therapeutics and has been shown to be well tolerated. This study allows the opportunity to determine if the combination therapy of farletuzumab, carboplatin, and PLD

  1. is safe, or
  2. to assess the potential drug-drug interaction, and
  3. to prolong response to chemotherapy.
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Farletuzumab, Carboplatin, and PLDDrug

    Also called Farletuzumab (MORAb-003), Carboplatin, PLD

    All subjects will receive approximately 6 cycles with carboplatin (AUC5-6) i.v. and PLD (30 mg/m2) i.v. on Day 1 of every 4-week Combination treatment cycle. In addition, subjects will also receive weekly farletuzumab at 2.5 mg/kg administered i.v. Following completion of the Combination treatment period (carboplatin/PLD/farletuzumab therapy),maintenance treatment with single agent farletuzumab will be administered once Q3W at 7.5 mg/kg until disease progression as defined by GCIG CA-125 (i.e., CA-125 is less than or equal to 2 × (ULN) documented on 2 occasions) or modified RECIST v.1.0 using CT or MRI.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety of the combination of farletuzumab, carboplatin, and PLD in subjects with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer.

    Measured: At all study visits.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess the effect of farletuzumab in combination with carboplatin and PLD on best objective response rate, time to response, and duration of response by RECIST criteria.

    Measured: Every 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Farletuzumab, Carboplatin, and PLD in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, run by Morphotek at 5 sites 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 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.

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?

To assess the safety of the combination of farletuzumab, carboplatin, and PLD in subjects with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. (time frame: At all study visits.). 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 17 Jul 2014.
