About this study

Official title: Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy and T-Cell Suppression Followed By Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells and IL-2 in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, Primary Peritoneal Cancer and Advanced Metastatic Breast Cancer (MT2009-30)

This is a single center phase II trial designed to optimize a clinical platform of lymphodepleting chemotherapy and T-cell suppression to promote the persistence, function, and expansion of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells in patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal cancer and advanced metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

The donor NK cells are infused on day 0, after a non-myeloablative preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine plus a cyclosporine A (CsA) based immunosuppressive therapy. Subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) is started the evening of the NK infusion and continued three times a week for 6 doses total.

Up to 4 sequential immunosuppressive platforms will be tested (Arms 1 and 2 are currently closed) to identify a platform where patients have the potential for successful NK cell expansion (defined as an absolute circulating donor derived NK cell count of > 100 cells/μl 14 days after NK cell infusion). Once a clinical platform is determined, the platform will be expanded to a total of 18 patients. The primary goal of this extended phase is to obtain preliminary efficacy information.

Follow-up for disease response is for 1 year from the NK cell infusion, with the possibility of re-treatment for patients who experience at least a clinical benefit who progress after 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Response includes Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), and Stable Disease (SD) as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v.1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI. Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease.

    Measured: Month 3

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Time from study entry until progressive disease or data collection cutoff.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Number of Participants With Progressive Disease at One Year

    Measured: 1 Year

  3. Overall Survival

    Number of participants alive at 1 year.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Cyclosporine in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 20 inclusion and 2 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 28 Dec 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 24 Feb 2017). 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?

Response Rate (time frame: Month 3). 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 28 Dec 2017.
