About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Single Dose, Open-Label Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of OTL38 Injection (OTL38) for Intra-operative Imaging of Folate Receptor Positive Ovarian Cancer

This is a phase 3, randomized, multi-center, single dose, open label, pivotal study in patients diagnosed with, or with high clinical suspicion of, ovarian cancer scheduled to undergo primary surgical cytoreduction, interval debulking, or recurrent ovarian cancer surgery.

Read the detailed description

The Phase 3 study is to confirm the efficacy of OTL38 in combination with fluorescent light to detect additional Folate Receptor-positive (FR+) ovarian cancer lesions not detected by palpation and visualization under normal light in patients with FR+ ovarian cancer scheduled to undergo primary surgical cytoreduction, interval debulking, or recurrent ovarian cancer surgery

Conditions
Ovarian Cancer
Being tested
OTL38, near infrared camera imaging system, laparotomy
Medical subject headings
Ovarian Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • OTL38Drug

    Also called OTL38 for Injection

    0.025 mg/kg of OTL38 in 250ml dextrose 5% in water (D5W) infused intravenously over 60 minutes

  • near infrared camera imaging systemDevice

    Also called Near IR imaging

    Infrared imaging used to excite OTL38 for fluorescence

  • laparotomyProcedure or surgery

    primary surgical cytoreduction, interval debulking, or recurrent ovarian cancer surgery

Study groups in NCT03180307
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
no fluorescent imagingSham comparatorPatient injected with OTL38, but does not undergo fluorescent imaging
Receives: Drug: OTL38; Procedure: laparotomy
near infrared imaging armExperimentalPatient injected with OTL38 and undergoes near infrared imaging
Receives: Drug: OTL38; Device: near infrared camera imaging system; Procedure: laparotomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy Patient Level

    Percentage of patients with at least one evaluable FR+ ovarian cancer lesion confirmed by central pathology (Standard of truth) that was detected using the combination of OTL38 and fluorescent light but not under normal light or palpation (Full Analysis Set)

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Patient False Positive Rate

    False Positive Rate at the patient level (FPRp) will be a major secondary efficacy endpoint and is defined as the percentage of women who underwent both normal light and fluorescent light (Intent-to-Image Set)

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing OTL38, near infrared camera imaging system and laparotomy in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by On Target Laboratories, LLC at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 4 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Feb 2022). 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?

Efficacy Patient Level (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT03180307, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Feb 2022.
