About this study

Official title: PROVE A Randomized Phase II Trial of Standard Carboplatin-based Chemotherapy With or Without Panitumumab in Platinum-sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this trial is to estimate the therapeutic efficacy of the experimental targeted regimen including the EGFR antibody panitumumab (in combination with carboplatin and either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or gemcitabine) in relation to the respective standard combination in patients with a KRAS wildtype with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. It is expected that the progression free survival rate at 12 months is improved by the targeted regimen.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS) rate after 12 months.

    PFS is defined as the time from randomisation to the time of disease progression or relapse (according to RECIST, not CA-125 only!) or death, or to the date of last tumor assessment without any such event (censored observation).

    Measured: 12 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of Tumor-Response

    according to RECIST, including measurable disease patients only, and including patients with CA-125 defined disease as well

    Measured: Duration of Therapy (Therapy is planned for 6 cycles of 3 resp. 4 weeks each, shorter or longer durations are possible)

  2. Progression-free survival

    Measured: End of Follow-up (up to 1 year)

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: End of Follow-up (up to 1 year)

  4. Maximum toxicity resp. AE grade per patient per toxicity resp. AE during therapy

    Toxicities resp. (S)AE during therapy will be documented, reported and analyzed according to NCI CTC 3.0 with special focus on skin toxicity.

    Results are given as maximum grade per patient per toxicity resp. AE during therapy.

    Measured: Duration of Therapy (Therapy is planned for 6 cycles of 3 resp. 4 weeks each, shorter or longer durations are possible)

  5. Tumor Response Rate

    according to RECIST, including measurable disease patients only, and including patients with CA-125 defined disease as well

    Measured: Duration of Therapy (Therapy is planned for 6 cycles of 3 resp. 4 weeks each, shorter or longer durations are possible)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panitumumab, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) and Carboplatin in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by WiSP Wissenschaftlicher Service Pharma GmbH at 18 sites in Germany.

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 18 inclusion and 21 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 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 18 sites in Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Nadine Albers (0351-25933-281, nadine.albers@gmiho.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (PFS) rate after 12 months. (time frame: 12 month). 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 20 Aug 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
