About this study

Official title: A Multicentre Phase II Randomised Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Adaptive Therapy (AT) With Carboplatin, Based on Changes in CA125, in Patients With Relapsed Platinum-sensitive High Grade Serous or High Grade Endometrioid Ovarian Cancer

ACTOv will compare standard 3-weekly carboplatin (AUC5), to carboplatin delivered according to an AT regimen. The AT regimen will modify carboplatin dose according to changes in the clinical-standard serum biomarker CA125 as a proxy measure of total tumour burden and an individual patient's response to the most recent chemotherapy treatment. AT could prolong sensitivity to carboplatin and extend tumour control, while simultaneously reducing chemotherapy dose and drug-induced toxicity. Carboplatin is a low cost and low toxicity drug that has an enduring and central role in ovarian cancer treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified Progression Free Survival (mPFS)

    Measured from the date of randomisation to the date of objective progression (investigator assessed using RECIST v1.1) but comparing CT scans to the baseline CT rather than the radiological nadir), clinical progression or death from any cause (in the absence of progression)

    Measured: From the date of randomisation until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 4 years.

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Acceptability (1/2)

    the number of eligible patients approached who accept randomisation and continue to receive treatment

    Measured: From the date of randomisation to the first dose of treatment (within 28 days from randomisation)received by patient. Measured as the number of patients approached who accept randomisation.

  2. Acceptability (2/2)

    the proportion of eligible patients approached who accept randomisation and continue to receive treatment

    Measured: From the date of randomisation to the first dose of treatment (within 28 days from randomisation)received by patient. Measured as the percent of patients approached who accept randomisation.

  3. Deliverability (1/2)

    the number of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm

    Measured: Measured as the number of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm (maximum of 6 cycles in control arm and 12 in experimental arm, approx.. 18 weeks and 36 weeks respectively). Treatment delays, reductions and omissions

  4. Deliverability (2/2)

    the proportion of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm

    Measured: Measured as the number of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm (maximum of 6 cycles in control arm and 12 in experimental arm, approx.. 18 weeks and 36 weeks respectively). Treatment delays, reductions and omissions

  5. Compliance

    total cumulative carboplatin dose will be calculated for each patient over time on treatment, and described by trial arm

    Measured: Total cumulative carboplatin dose will be calculated for each patient over time on treatment (max. of 6 cycles in control arm and 12 cycles in experimental arm, approximately 18 weeks and 36 weeks respectively

  6. Adverse events (1/2)

    adverse events will be categorised using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5. The number of patients who suffer a grade 3 or 4 toxicity at any time, and the maximum grade of toxicity for each adverse event term, will be described by trial arm

    Measured: Adverse events will be reported between informed consent and 30 calendar days post last IMP (i.e. max. of 6 cycles in control arm and 12 cycles in experimental arm, approximately 30 days after 18 weeks or 36 weeks respectively)

  7. Adverse events (2/2)

    adverse events will be categorised using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5. The percentage of patients who suffer a grade 3 or 4 toxicity at any time, and the maximum grade of toxicity for each adverse event term, will be described by trial arm

    Measured: Adverse events will be reported between informed consent and 30 calendar days post last IMP (i.e. max. of 6 cycles in control arm and 12 cycles in experimental arm, approximately 30 days after 18 weeks or 36 weeks respectively)

  8. Quality of life (1/2) - EORTC questionnaire (assessing the quality of life of patients with ovarian cancer)

  9. Quality of life (2/2) - EQ-5D ((mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, a single summary index and a visual analogue scale)

    measured using European Quality of life questionnaire five dimensions (EQ-5D (descriptive profile of health state)) in scale of 5 (1 is no problem and 5 is extreme problem)

    Measured: At baseline, during treatment and follow up until the first documented progression or date of death (estimate 6 or 12 months but can be up to 4 years)

  10. Fear of progression

    measured using Fear of progression questionnaire (FOP-Q SF) in scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is never and 5 is very often

    Measured: At baseline, during treatment and follow up until the first documented progression or date of death (estimate 6 or 12 months but can be up to 4 years)

    of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time-to-next treatment (measured from randomisation)

    Measured: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time-to-next treatment (measured from randomisation).

  13. Further treatment (2/3)

    of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time treatment received (measured from randomisation)

    Measured: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time treatment received (measured from randomisation)

  14. Further treatment (3/3)

    of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time response to this treatment (measured from randomisation)

    Measured: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time response to this treatment (measured from randomisation)

  15. Overall survival

    measured from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause. Patients who are event-free will be censored at the date last seen

    Measured: Measured from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause, censored at the date last seen (estimate 2 years but can be up to 4 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Carboplatin in people with Ovarian Cancer and Relapsed Ovarian Cancer, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ACTOv Trial Coordinator (02076794466, ctc.actov@ucl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Modified Progression Free Survival (mPFS) (time frame: From the date of randomisation until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 4 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 NCT05080556, 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 12 Apr 2024.
