About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study on Decitabine Plus Carboplatin Versus Physician's Choice Chemotherapy in Recurrent, Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer.

Multicenter Phase II study on Decitabine-Carboplatin combination in platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients.

Patients will receive study treatment until disease progression is documented, extraordinary medical circumstances occur, intolerable toxicities occur, or the patient withdraws consent.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, prospective, multicenter, randomized Phase II, clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Decitabine-Carboplatin combination in recurrent, platinum resistant ovarian cancer patients in comparison to physician' choice chemotherapy:

Arm A: Carboplatin AUC (Area Under Curve) 5 d 8 q 28 Plus Decitabine 10 mg/mq iv d1-5 q 28

Arm B: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin 40 mg/mq q 28 or Gemcitabine 1000 mg/mq dd 1, 8, 15 q 28 or Weekly Paclitaxel 80 mg/mq gg 1, 8, 15 q 28

Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to treatment arms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    The primary objective is to compare Decitabine plus Carboplatin combination versus physician' choice chemotherapy in terms of progression free survival

    Measured: from randomization to the date of radiological/clinical progression of disease or death, assessed up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The secondary objective is to compare Decitabine plus Carboplatin combination versus physician' choice chemotherapy in terms of overall survival

    Measured: from randomization to the date of death, assessed up to 3 years

  2. Radiological response rate (in patients with measurable disease)

    Radiological response rate

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Duration of response

    Duration of response

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Cancer-Antigen 125 (CA-125) response rate per GCIG (Gynaecologic Cancer Intergroup) and change in CA-125

    Serum level of CA125 is used to monitor response to chemotherapy, relapse, and disease progression in ovarian cancer patients.

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Toxicity profile

    Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Patient Reported Outcome: Physical well-being

    will be evaluated using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-O) and FACT-O Ovarian Cancer-specific Subscale (OCS) questionnaire. The total scores of both scales will be calculated, the scores of each question at each time point and their difference from baseline will be summarized for each treatment group. At a given visit, the change and/or percent change from baseline will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using an ANCOVA test using the treatment as a categorical factor and baseline measurement for the parameter as a continuous covariate.

    The time to an event in PRO (Patient Reported Outcome) of worsening of disease symptoms will be defined as the time from randomization to a 4-point reduction in the FACT-O questionnaire. Patients without a 4-point reduction will be censored on the date of their last PRO evaluation. Patients that do not have both a baseline measurement and at least one post-baseline measurement will not be included.

    Measured: 3 years

  7. Patient Reported Outcome: Social/family well-being

    will be evaluated using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-O) and FACT-O ovarian cancer-specific subscale (OCS) questionnaire. The total scores of both scales will be calculated, the scores of each question at each time point and their difference from baseline will be summarized for each treatment group. At a given visit, the change and/or percent change from baseline will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using an ANCOVA test using the treatment as a categorical factor and baseline measurement for the parameter as a continuous covariate.

    The time to an event in PRO of worsening of disease symptoms will be defined as the time from randomization to a 4-point reduction in the FACT-O questionnaire. Patients without a 4-point reduction will be censored on the date of their last PRO evaluation. Patients that do not have both a baseline measurement and at least one post-baseline measurement will not be included.

    Measured: 3 years

  8. Patient Reported Outcome: Functional well being

    will be evaluated using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-O) and FACT-O ovarian cancer-specific subscale (OCS) questionnaire. The total scores of both scales will be calculated, the scores of each question at each time point and their difference from baseline will be summarized for each treatment group. At a given visit, the change and/or percent change from baseline will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using an ANCOVA test using the treatment as a categorical factor and baseline measurement for the parameter as a continuous covariate.

    The time to an event in PRO of worsening of disease symptoms will be defined as the time from randomization to a 4-point reduction in the FACT-O questionnaire. Patients without a 4-point reduction will be censored on the date of their last PRO evaluation. Patients that do not have both a baseline measurement and at least one post-baseline measurement will not be included.

    Measured: 3 years

  9. Patient Reported Outcome: Emotional well being

    will be evaluated using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-O) and FACT-O ovarian cancer-specific subscale (OCS) questionnaire. The total scores of both scales will be calculated, the scores of each question at each time point and their difference from baseline will be summarized for each treatment group. At a given visit, the change and/or percent change from baseline will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using an ANCOVA test using the treatment as a categorical factor and baseline measurement for the parameter as a continuous covariate.

    The time to an event in PRO of worsening of disease symptoms will be defined as the time from randomization to a 4-point reduction in the FACT-O questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Decitabine, Carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in people with Recurrent, Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer, run by Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milano 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 17 inclusion and 12 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 5 Sep 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 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 Domenica Lorusso, MD (+390223903697, domenica.lorusso@istitutotumori.mi.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: from randomization to the date of radiological/clinical progression of disease or death, assessed up to 3 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 NCT03467178, which also lists 33 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 5 Sep 2021.
