Olaparib +/- Cediranib or Chemotherapy in Patients With Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-11-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

The trial will compare the drugs olaparib and cediranib with standard chemotherapy in platinum resistant ovarian cancer. Patients will be randomised to one of three treatment groups: olaparib only, olaparib and cediranib and the control group paclitaxel. The aim is to compare efficacy of the 3 treatments and also how well each treatment is tolerated including the participants quality of life.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

10. Written (signed and dated) informed consent prior to any study specific procedures and be capable of co-operating with protocol.

11. Patients must have

• Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL and no blood transfusions in the 28 days prior to randomisation

12. Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 14 days prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L

• Platelet count > 100 x 109/L

• Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

• AST (SGOT)/ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present in which case it must be ≤ 5x ULN

• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance >50 ml/min calculated using Cockroft-Gault, Jelliffe or Wright (see Appendix 4)

• Urine dipstick for proteinuria <2+. If urine dipstick is ≥ 2+ on two occasions more than one week apart then a 24-hour urine must demonstrate ≤ 1 g of protein in 24 hours or protein/creatinine ratio < 1.5.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Received previous single agent weekly paclitaxel for relapsed disease.

2. Pregnant or breast-feeding women or women of childbearing potential unless effective methods of contraception are used during the trial and for 6 months after stopping treatment. Negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study treatment, confirmed prior to treatment on day 1. Pregnancy test will be performed monthly in women of child bearing potential.

Postmenopausal is defined as:

• Amenorrheic for 1 year or more following cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments

• LH and FSH levels in the post-menopausal range for women under 50,

• radiation-induced oophorectomy with last menses >1 year ago,

• chemotherapy-induced menopause with >1 year interval since last menses, or surgical sterilisation (bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy).

4. Radiotherapy within 2 weeks from the last dose prior to study treatment

5. Started a stable dose of bisphosphonates for bone metastases less than 4 weeks prior to treatment with study drug e.g. patient is eligible and can continue to take bisphosphonates if these were started at least 4 weeks prior to treatment with study drug.

6. Concomitant use of known CYP3A4 inhibitors such as ketoconazole, itraconazole, ritonavir, indinavir, saquinavir, telithromycin, clarithromycin and nelfinavir.

7. Concomitant use of potent inducers of CYP3A4 such as rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin and St. John Wort.

8. Persistent toxicities (>=CTCAE grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy with the exception of alopecia.

9. Resting ECG with QTc > 470msec on 2 or more time points within a 24 hour period or family history of long QT syndrome.

10. Blood transfusions within 1 month prior to study start

11. Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukaemia.

12. Patients with symptomatic, untreated, uncontrolled brain or meningeal metastases or tumour.

a. A scan to confirm the absence of brain metastases is not required. b. Patients with radiological evidence of stable brain metastases are eligible, providing that they are asymptomatic and: i. Do not require corticosteroids, or ii. Have previously been treated with corticosteroids, with clinical and radiological evidence of stabilisation at least 10 days after discontinuation of steroids iii. The patient can receive a stable dose of corticosteroids before and during the study as long as these were started at least 28 days prior to treatment.

13. Major surgery within 14 days of starting study treatment

14. Patients who have not recovered from any effects of any major surgery.

Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, unstable spinal cord compression (untreated and unstable for at least 28 days prior to study entry), superior vena cava syndrome, extensive bilateral lung disease on HRCT scan
