About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety & Efficacy of EP0057 in Combination With Olaparib in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Patients Who Have: Cohort 1 - Platinum Resistant Disease; Cohort 2 - Had at Least 1 Prior Line of Therapy Which Must Include at Least 1 Line of Platinum-based Chemotherapy Followed by PARP Inhibitor Maintenance

EP0057-201 is a Phase 2A/B adaptive design study. Phase 2A will test EP0057 in combination with Olaparib and Phase 2B, the randomised part of the study, will test EP0057 in combination with Olaparib against SOC chemotherapy. When EP0057 is combined with Olaparib, it is envisaged that the combination should improve therapeutic responses in the recurrent ovarian cancer disease setting.

EP0057 is an investigational nanoparticle-drug conjugate administered intravenously. The rationale for developing EP0057 is to enable selective entry of EP0057 into tumour tissue and as a result create preferential accumulation of EP0057, and therefore of the payload Camptothecin, to translate into maximum tumour cell killing.

Read the detailed description

EP0057-201 is an adaptive Phase 2A/B study in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Phase 2A

Phase 2A will be comprised of 2 single-arm treatment cohorts:

Cohort 1 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib in patients with advanced platinum resistant ovarian cancer (see inclusion criteria for definition of platinum resistant) who have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy which must be platinum-based chemotherapy (n~=30)

Cohort 2 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy which must include at least 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy followed by a PARP inhibitor as maintenance treatment as their last treatment regimen (n~=30)

It is anticipated that up to approximately 60 patients (approximately 30 patients per cohort) will be enrolled into Phase 2A. Both treatment cohorts will open in parallel and patients will be enrolled into each cohort concurrently.

At the end of Phase 2A, the Safety Review Committee will guide the decision to initiate 1 or both cohorts in Phase 2B, or terminate further recruitment into the study.

Phase 2B

Phase 2B will be comprised of 2 treatment cohorts, each randomised versus SOC. One or both cohorts may be opened concurrently to recruitment:

Cohort 1 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib compared with SOC chemotherapy (TBC) in patients with advanced platinum resistant ovarian cancer who have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy which must be platinum-based chemotherapy (n=~132)

Cohort 2 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib compared with SOC chemotherapy (TBC) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy which must include at least 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy followed by a PARP inhibitor as maintenance treatment as their last therapy (n=~192)

It is anticipated that ~324 patients will be enrolled into Phase 2B. Both treatment cohorts may open in parallel and patients may be enrolled into each cohort concurrently.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EP0057 and Olaparib tablets in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Ellipses Pharma at 21 sites in 3 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 28 inclusion and 32 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 2 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Hungary. 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?

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 Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Approximately 18 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Aug 2023.
