About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Concurrent Anti-PD-L1 and SAbR for Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Fallopian Tube Cancer (With Safety lead-in)

Programmed death-1 receptor ligand (PD-L1) the ligand for PD-1 is a key therapeutic target in the reactivation of the immune response against multiple cancers. Pharmacologic inhibitors of PD-1 have also demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity and are currently under active clinical exploration. avelumab (MSB0010718C; anti-PD-L1 is a fully human anti-PD-L1 igG1 antibody that has shown promising efficacy and an acceptable safety profile in multiple tumor types.

Radiation therapy (RT) is one of the mainstream treatments of cancer therapy along with surgery and chemotherapy, yet RT is the only treatment that does not leave the patients immunocompromised (unlike chemotherapy) and keeps the dying tumor / antigen depot within the host (unlike surgery), providing an opportunity for antigen presentation. Therefore, RT is a rational choice to combine with immunotherapy for cancer treatment.

Screening/Baseline Procedures Assessments performed exclusively to determine eligibility for this study will be done only after obtaining informed consent. Assessments performed for clinical indications (not exclusively to determine study eligibility) may be used for baseline values even if the studies were done before informed consent was obtained.

  • Review subject eligibility criteria
  • Review previous and concomitant medications
  • Physical exam including vital signs, height and weight: Vital signs (temperature, pulse, respirations, blood pressure), height, weight
  • Performance status: Performance status evaluated prior to study entry according to Appendix #/letter.
  • Adverse event assessment: Baseline adverse events will be assessed. See section 6 for Adverse Event monitoring and reporting.
  • Hematology CBC and diff ( within 2 weeks of registration)
  • T 4 levels, TSH and CMP as below: Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) to include: albumin, alkaline phosphatase, ALT/SGPT, AST/SGOT, BUN, creatinine, electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate), glucose, and total bilirubin. (within 2 weeks of registration)- Pregnancy test (for females of child bearing potential)( within 2 weeks of registration)
  • Tumor assessment:Baseline imaging by CT scan of chest , abdomen, and pelvis.

Procedures During Treatment

  • Prior to Each Treatment Cycle
  • Physical exam, vital signs
  • Hematology
  • Serum chemistries
  • Every 8 weeks after start till end of treatment Serum TSH, pregnancy test and CT chest abdomen and pelvis 30 days after treatment termination
  • Physical exam, vital signs
  • Hematology
  • Serum chemistries
  • additional Immune co-relate lab testing: Prior to cycle 1, cycle 3, cycle 5, cycle 7 and 2 weeks post last cycle.

Follow-up Procedures

  • For patients who are still receiving Avelumab: Subject will be followed every eight weeks (+/- 2 weeks) starting from the beginning of treatment for the first year, then every 12 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) till 2 years after last dose of drug The following procedures will be performed at each follow up:
  • Physical exam, PS, vital signs, medication review, AE assessment
  • Blood collection per time table and for labs
  • Radiographic imaging: Tumor assessments will be completed by the investigator using the RECIST criteria as above.
  • CT chest, abdomen and pelvis with IV contrast, if allowable by renal function
  • After that, survival information will be collected every 6 months until patient death.
  • For patients who have been discontinued from Avelumab : Subject will be followed 30 days from last dose (±7 days, or may be on date of discontinuation ±7 days if the date of discontinuation is more than 37 days after last dose) and then 3-4 months from last dose.

The following procedures will be performed at the first two visits:

  • Physical exam, PS, vital signs, medication review, AE assessment
  • Subsequent anti-cancer treatment/s
  • For first visit only, or may repeat if study drug related toxicity persists: CBC w/ differential, LFTs, BUN, creatinine, fasting glucose, and TSH

After that, survival information will be collected every 6 months until patient death.

What is being measured

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

  1. To Assess Overall Clinical Response Rates Per RECIST Criteria.

    Analysis of (with safety lead-in) trial of combined Avelumab (MSB0010718C) anti-PD-L1checkpoint blockade with SAbR for Recurrent Ovarian and peritoneal ,fallopian tube cancer (ROPT) is to assess overall clinical response rates per RECIST criteria .

    Measured: 1 year,4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Patients were started on alternative therapy and were not followed after starting alternative therapy.

    Study was stopped because drug was found to be ineffective by the pharmaceutical company

    Measured: 1 year, 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Avelumab in people with Recurrent Epithelial Cancer of Ovary and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2020. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Nov 2020). 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?

To Assess Overall Clinical Response Rates Per RECIST Criteria. (time frame: 1 year,4 months). 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 12 Nov 2020.
