Fallopian Tube CancerPhase 2NCT00114166
Topotecan in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing topotecan hydrochloride in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 78 sites in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving topotecan in different dosing schedules may kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Randomized Phase II Evaluation of Topotecan (NSC #609699) Administered Daily x 5 Every 3 Weeks vs Weekly Topotecan in the Treatment of Recurrent Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving topotecan in different dosing schedules may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well topotecan works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the antitumor activity of topotecan, in terms of frequency and duration of tumor response, in patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
- Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
Secondary
- Determine the duration of progression-free survival and overall survival in patients treated with these regimens.
- Determine the effects of prognostic variables (i.e., initial performance status, age, and mucinous or clear cell histology) in patients treated with these regimens.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 38-110 patients (19-55 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 15-30 months.
- Being tested
- topotecan hydrochloride
- Keywords
- recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cavity cancer
- Medical subject headings
- Fallopian Tube Neoplasms, Ovarian Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
topotecan hydrochlorideDrug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Topotecan 1.25 mg/m2 IV days 1-5 of a 21 day cycle | Active comparator | Topotecan 1.25 mg/m2 IV days 1-5 of a 21 day cycle until disease progression or adverse effects prohibit further therapy Receives: Drug: topotecan hydrochloride |
| Topotecan 4.0 mg/m2 IV day 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle | Active comparator | Topotecan 4.0 mg/m2 IV day 1, 8 and 15 of a 28 day cycle until disease progression or adverse effects prohibit further therapy Receives: Drug: topotecan hydrochloride |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Tumor Response
Response is measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v 1.0):
Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no evidence of new lesions documented by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart.
Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD.
Disease Progression is at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD or the appearance of new lesions within 8 weeks of study entry.
Stable Disease is any condition not meeting the above criteria.
Indeterminate is defined as having no repeat tumor assessments following initiation of study therapy for reasons unrelated to symptoms or signs of disease.
Measured: Every other cycle for the first 6 months, then every 3 months x2, then every 6 months until disease progression or study withdrawal
Number of Participants With Adverse Effects (Grade 3 or Higher) as Assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 2.0
Measured: Assessed every cycle while on treatment, 30 days after the last cycle of treatment, and up to 5 years in follow-up
Secondary outcomes (1)
Reason Off Study Therapy
Measured: study entry through end of study treatment, up to 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing topotecan hydrochloride in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 78 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?
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 24 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 78 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Objective Tumor Response (time frame: Every other cycle for the first 6 months, then every 3 months x2, then every 6 months until disease progression or study withdrawal). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00114166, 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 24 Jul 2018.
