About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Randomized, Phase Ib/II Study of E7080 in Combination With Carboplatin + Gemcitabine Versus Carboplatin + Gemcitabine Alone as Second Line Therapy in Patients With Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer by CA125.

The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase II dose of lenvatinib administered in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine (Phase IB) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of E7080 administered in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine compared to carboplatin and gemcitabine alone (Phase II) in participants with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

This open-label, multicenter, randomized study was to consist of a Phase 1b portion: a safety run-in period with 3 doses of lenvatinib administered in combination with carboplatin + gemcitabine; and a Phase II portion: a randomized 2-arm period. Approximately 100 participants with ovarian cancer were to be enrolled in the study (10 to 20 participants in the Phase 1b portion and 80 participants in the Phase II portion). Participants were to participate in either the Phase 1b or the Phase II portion. Participants were to receive study treatment (lenvatinib plus carboplatin + gemcitabine or carboplatin + gemcitabine) for six 21-day cycles (18 weeks). Participants who receive E7080 and experience evidence of clinical benefit (CR, PR, or SD) may continue single agent E7080 beyond 18 weeks, until the occurrence of progressive disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or withdrawal by investigator, whichever occurs first.

Initially, an ascending dose schedule starting at lenvatinib 16 mg once daily on Day 1 to Day 21 was chosen for the Phase 1b portion to determine the MTD of lenvatinib administered once daily in combination with carboplatin + gemcitabine; however, due to hematologic toxicity observed in the first cohort, the lenvatinib administration schedule was changed to Days 2 to 21 in Protocol Amendment 2. Continued hematologic toxicity prompted a third protocol amendment, designed to evaluate a lower range of doses starting at lenvatinib 8 mg once daily in Protocol Amendment 3.

After three protocol amendments, recruitment into the Phase 1b portion of the study was very limited, with only one evaluable participant enrolled during the last 5 months of recruitment. Due to the limited enrollment despite significant diligence to boost enrollment and the complex study design required to manage hematologic toxicity, the study was terminated before the initiation of Phase II.

Safety was assessed by the monitoring and recording of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs); vital signs; Gynecological Oncology Group performance status; clinical laboratory evaluations; physical examinations; and 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs).

What participants receive

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

  • LenvatinibDrug

    lenvatinib (as 1mg, 4mg, and 10mg tablets) was administered orally, once daily continuously for each 21-day treatment cycle.

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Carboplatin was to be administered on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle at a dose AUC 4 over 30 minutes.

  • GemcitabineDrug

    Gemcitabine was to be administered on Day 1 and Day 8 of every 21-day cycle at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 over 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLTs were defined as clinically significant adverse events occurring less than or equal to 21 days after commencing study treatment and considered to be possibly or probably related to study treatment by the Investigator. If 1 DLT occurred at any dose level, the cohort was to be expanded to include a maximum of six evaluable subjects. If 2 DLTs occurred at any dose level, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was to be either defined as the preceding dose, or an intermediate dose. To evaluate an intermediate dose, an additional dose cohort could be added to more accurately define the MTD.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (21 days)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Biomarker CA125-based Overall Response Rate (B-ORR), Within Treatment Group

    Due to the limited enrollment despite significant diligence to boost enrollment and the complex study design required to manage hematologic toxicity, the study was terminated before the initiation of Phase 2. Hence the analysis was not conducted.

    Measured: Day 1 of every cycle, at end of treatment visit and every 2 months during follow-up period for patients who complete study without progressive disease.

  2. Biomarker-based Proportion of Biomarker-Progression-Free Survival (B-PFS) at Week 12, Within Treatment Group

    Due to the limited enrollment despite significant diligence to boost enrollment and the complex study design required to manage hematologic toxicity, the study was terminated before the initiation of Phase 2. Hence the analysis was not conducted.

    Measured: Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Lenvatinib, Carboplatin and Gemcitabine in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Eisai Inc. 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 21 inclusion and 23 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 22 Jun 2023. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Dec 2016). 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?

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Cycle 1 (21 days)). 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 22 Jun 2023.
