About this study

Official title: Avastin Plus Chemotherapy vs. Avastin Plus Chemotherapy Chosen by Cancer Stem Cell Chemosensitivity Testing in the Management of Patients With Recurrent Platinum-Resistant or -Sensitive Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

The purpose of this randomized clinical study is to confirm the utility of chemosensitivity (ChemoID) tumor testing on cancer stem cells as a predictor of clinical response in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, regardless of platinum sensitivity.

Population studied will be female participants experiencing a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd recurrence of any stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial to determine if recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) patients treated with Bevacizumab plus drugs predicted by the ChemoID assay will have better outcomes than patients treated with standard-of-care control therapy (Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy chosen by the Physician).

Upon obtaining informed consent, all eligible participants affected by 1st, 2nd, or 3rd relapse of EOC regardless of platinum sensitivity (both platinum sensitive and resistant) will have a tumor biopsy or a cancer-positive fluid collection sample to undergo ChemoID drug response testing with multiple FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents.

Eligible participants will be randomized to a standard treatment arm with control treatment (Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy chosen by the Physician from the provided list), or to a study arm of Bevacizumab plus FDA-approved drugs selected by the ChemoID drug response assay.

A stratified randomization approach for treatment arm assignment will be used with strata based on relapse number, platinum sensitivity, and study site to ensure balance within these cells.

What participants receive

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

  • ChemoID assayDiagnostic test

    The ChemoID test is a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited drug response assay performed by a hospital clinical pathology laboratory that uses patient's live tumor cells to indicate which chemotherapy agent (or combinations) will kill not only bulk of tumor cells, but importantly the cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are known to cause cancer to recur. During the assay, cancer stem cells and bulk tumor cells from an individual patient are exposed to FDA-approved chemotherapy drugs.

    The test measures the cytotoxic effect of actual doses of standard-of-care chemotherapies. The ChemoID drug response assay reports a prioritized list of effective and ineffective chemotherapies. The test is designed to target cancer stem cells to mitigate tumor relapse.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    Also called List of cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs

    Chemotherapies chosen by Physician or ChemoID assay are in the same list of FDA approved drugs to treat recurrent ovarian cancer.

    Chemotherapy list:

    • Liposomal Doxorubicin;
    • Docetaxel;
    • Paclitaxel;
    • Carboplatin;

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ChemoID assay and Chemotherapy in people with Recurrent Ovarian Cancer, run by Cordgenics, LLC 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 20 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2025. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: 36 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 Feb 2025.
