About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial on Trabectedin (ET-743) vs Clinician's Choice Chemotherapy in Recurrent Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancers of BRCA Mutated or BRCAness Phenotype Patients

This is an open-label, prospective, multicenter, randomized Phase III, clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of trabectedin in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carrier and BRCAness phenotype advanced ovarian cancer patients in comparison to physician' choice chemotherapy.

Arm A: Trabectedin 1.3 mg/mq d1 q 21 in 3 hours (central line) Arm B: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin 40 mg/mq q 28 or Topotecan 4 mg/mq dd 1,8,15 q 28 or Gemcitabine 1000 mg/mq dd 1, 8, 15 q 28 Weekly Paclitaxel 80 mg/mq gg 1, 8, 15 q 28 Carboplatin AUC 5-6 q 21 or 28

Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to treatment arms. During the randomization process, patients will be stratified by

  • Platinum sensitivity
  • Measurable disease
  • Number of previous chemotherapy lines > vs < 3
  • BRCA mutational status
Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the following treatments: Arm A: Trabectedin 1.3 mg/m2 d1 q 21 in 3 hours (central line) Arm B: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin 40 mg/mq q 28 or Topotecan 4 mg/ m2 dd 1,8,15 q 28 or Gemcitabine 1000 mg/mq dd 1, 8, 15 q 28 Weekly Paclitaxel 80 mg/ m2 dd 1, 8, 15 q 28 Carboplatin AUC 5-6 q 21 or 28 Randomization will be stratified based on platinum-free interval (PFI) (PFI ≥ 0 and ≤ 6 months vs. PFI > 6 months), presence / absence of measurable disease/number of previous chemotherapy lines, germline BRCA mutational status vs BRCAness phenotype.

Platinum-free interval (PFI) is defined as the time from the last dose of the platinum containing regimen until the first date progression.

Subjects will continue to receive chemotherapy treatment until disease progression (clinical progression meant as global deterioration in health status attributable to the disease requiring a change in therapy without objective evidence of progression is considered progression of disease), intolerability, patient refusal, investigator decision or death from any cause.

Subjects will be evaluated every 12 weeks ± 1 week by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) for objective radiographic response and radiographic disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    The primary objective is to compare the Trabectedin versus physician' choice chemotherapy in terms of overall survival (OS).

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival [the diagnosis of progression will be assessed by radiological criteria; CA 125 increases alone (GCIG criteria of progression) will not be considered as progression of disease without a radiological confirmation of progression].

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Duration of Response

    Duration of response

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Adverse events

    Incidence of adverse events, according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) version 4.0.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Trabectedin, Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin and Topotecan in people with Ovarian Neoplasms, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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 13 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 25 Aug 2021. 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 Italy. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02903004, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 25 Aug 2021.
