Overview

Tivozanib in Recurrent, Platinum-Resistant Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Status:
Completed
Trial end date:
2021-05-11
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
Female
Summary
This phase II trial studies how well tivozanib works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Tivozanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Phase:

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- • Patients must have recurrent or persistent, platinum resistant epithelial ovarian,
fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma; platinum-resistant disease is defined
as a recurrence within 6 months of completing adjuvant, platinum-based chemotherapy

- Patients must have measurable disease or non-measurable (detectable) disease:

- Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately
measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each
lesion must be greater than or equal to 10 mm when measured by computed
tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or by clinical exam; or
greater than or equal to 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes
must be greater than or equal to 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or
MRI

- Non-measurable (detectable) disease in a patient is defined in this protocol
as one who does not have measurable disease based on Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria but does have a cancer antigen
125 (CA-125) greater than or equal to two times the upper normal limit
within the last 60 days (confirmatory at baseline) and at least one of the
following conditions:

- Ascites and/or pleural effusion attributed to tumor

- Hypermetabolic lesions on positron emission tomography (PET) scan

- Patients with measurable disease must have at least one "target lesion" to be
used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST

- Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance
status of 0, 1, or 2

- Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy:

- Patients should be free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the
exception of uncomplicated urinary tract infection [UTI])

- Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including
chemotherapy, biological/targeted (non-cytotoxic) agents and immunologic
agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration

- At least 4 weeks must have elapsed since the patient underwent any major
surgery (e.g., major: laparotomy, laparoscopy, thoracotomy, video assisted
thorascopic surgery (VATS); there is no restriction on minor procedures
(e.g., minor: central venous access catheter placement, ureteral stent
placement or exchange, paracentesis, thoracentesis)

- Patients must have had one prior taxane and platinum-based chemotherapeutic
regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or
another organo platinum compound; this initial treatment may have included
intraperitoneal therapy, consolidation, non-cytotoxic (biologic/targeted agents,
such as bevacizumab) or extended therapy administered after surgical or
non-surgical assessment; there is no maximum number of prior regimens;

- patients may not have had any prior systemic therapy (including interleukin-2,
interferon-alpha, chemotherapy, bevacizumab, investigational or licensed drug
that targets vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] or VEGF receptors/pathway
or are mammalian target of rapamycin [mTOR] inhibitors) for treatment of
recurrent ovarian cancer

- Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization
permitting the release of personal health information

- Patients must meet pre-entry requirements

- A female is eligible to participate if she is of non-childbearing potential or as
documentation of a negative pregnancy test prior to the start of the study
treatment; sexually active pre-menopausal female subjects must agree to use
adequate, highly effective contraceptive measures, while on study and for 45 days
after the last dose of last study drug; effective birth control includes (a)
intrauterine device (IUD) plus one barrier method; (b) oral, implantable or
injectable contraceptives plus one barrier method; or (c) 2 barrier methods;
effective barrier methods are male or female condoms, diaphragms, and spermicides
(creams or gels that contain a chemical to kill sperm)
