Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 to 90 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects must have cytologically or histologically confirmed ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.. In addition, subjects must have a tumor that is at least 1 cm in a single dimension and is radiographically apparent on CT, PET-CT or MRI (i.e., RECIST version 1.1 measurable disease).
  • Subjects must have platinum resistant disease (i.e., which is defined as disease progression in less than 6 months after receiving a minimum of 4 cycles of a platinum containing regimen).
  • Subjects with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: Serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma N.O.S.
  • Age >21 years
  • ECOG performance status <3

Who cannot join

  • Subjects receiving any other investigational medicinal product or anti-cancer therapy.
  • Prior therapy with weekly paclitaxel for recurrent disease (administration of weekly paclitaxel as part of an upfront treatment strategy is acceptable as long as the patient had not progressed while receiving weekly paclitaxel or recurred within 4 months of receiving weekly paclitaxel)
  • Non-epithelial ovarian carcinoma, including malignant mixed Mullerian tumors.
  • For the Phase 1b portion of the study, more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens and for the Phase 2 portion of the study more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens. Maintenance therapy following induction chemotherapy does not count as a separate regimen. In addition, hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor) does not count as a separate regimen.
  • Prior radiotherapy to the pelvis or abdomen
  • Subjects receiving heparin, warfarin, or other similar anticoagulants. Note: Subjects may be receiving lowdose aspirin and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents.

About this study

Official title: SIERRA: A Phase 1b/2 Study of Demcizumab Plus Paclitaxel in Subjects With Platinum Resistant Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer

This is a Phase 1b/2 study of paclitaxel plus demcizumab in subjects with platinum resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

Read the detailed description

Phase 1b portion was completed; Phase 2 portion was not initiated.

Subjects must not have received prior weekly paclitaxel or more than 3 prior chemotherapy regimens in the Phase 1b portion of the study and more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens in the Phase 2 portion of the study. Prior to enrollment, subjects will undergo screening to determine study eligibility. In the Phase 1b portion of study, 3 subjects will be treated at each dose level if no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) are observed. If 1 of 3 subjects experiences a DLT, that dose level will be expanded to 6 subjects.

If 2 or more subjects experience a DLT, no further subjects will be dosed at that level and 3 additional subjects will be added to the preceding dose cohort unless 6 subjects have already been treated at that dose level. Subjects will be assessed for DLTs from Days 0-28. Dose escalation for newly enrolled subjects, if appropriate, will occur after all subjects in a cohort have completed their Day 28 DLT assessment. After the final patient in the Phase 1b portion of the trial has completed their Day 28 DLT assessment, 50 subjects will be enrolled in the Phase 2 portion of the study and treated with demcizumab at the highest dose level that had < 2 DLTs in the 6 subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • DemcizumabDrug

    Also called OMP-21M18

    administered intravenously

  • TaxolDrug

    administered intravenously

Study groups in NCT01952249
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DemcizumabExperimentalDemcizumab will be administered prior to paclitaxel by intravenous (IV) infusion.
Receives: Drug: Demcizumab; Drug: Taxol
TaxolExperimentaldemcizumab combined with weekly paclitaxel
Receives: Drug: Demcizumab; Drug: Taxol

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1b: Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of demcizumab when combined with weekly paclitaxel in subjects with platinum resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be determined in patients treated with demcizumab in combination with weekly paclitaxel

    Measured: Subjects will be treated and observed for DLT through the end of the first cycle (Days 0-28)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of demcizumab when given in combination with weekly paclitaxel

    Apparent half life, AUC, clearance, volume of distribution

    Measured: Plasma sample for Pharmacokinetics (PK) analysis to be obtained prior to the demcizumab infusion on Days 0, 14, 56 and 70 and at the end of the demcizumab infusion (prior to paclitaxel infusion) on Days 0 and 56.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Demcizumab and Taxol in people with Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma, run by OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 3 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 6 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 9 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 was stopped early (reason given: Phase 2 portion not initiated, no longer pursuing ovarian cancer indication). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase 1b: Dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of demcizumab when combined with weekly paclitaxel in subjects with platinum resistant ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer (time frame: Subjects will be treated and observed for DLT through the end of the first cycle (Days 0-28)). 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 9 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
