About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Sunitinib in Recurrent and Refractory Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of sunitinib on participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Sunitinib is a newly discovered drug that may stop cancer cells from growing by blocking the blood supply to the tumor.

Read the detailed description

This study used a two-stage design to evaluate efficacy of sunitinib based on overall response (OR) defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). The null and alternative OR rate were 5% and 20%. If one or more patients enrolled in the stage one cohort (n=17 patients) achieved PR or better than accrual would proceed to stage two (n=18 patients). There was 42% probability of stopping the trial at stage one if the true OR rate was 5%. With 35 patients, this design had 85% power to detect the 15% difference in OR rates assuming 2-sided type I error rate of 0.05.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Best response on treatment was based on RECIST 1.0 criteria with overall response defined as achieving partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions, CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. To be assigned a status of CR or PR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no fewer than 4 weeks after the response criteria are first met. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

    Measured: Clinical assessments were performed weekly for first 4 weeks and every 2 wks in subsequent cycles. Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, before each odd cycle and at end of trt.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. 16-Week Progression-Free Survival

    16-week progression-free survival is the probability of patients remaining alive and progression-free at 16-weeks from study entry estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Patients alive and progression-free at last follow-up are censored. Progressive disease (PD) based on RECIST 1.0 is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. PD for the evaluation of non-target lesions is the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or equivocal progression of non-target lesions.

    Measured: Clinical assessments were performed weekly for first 4 weeks and every 2 weeks in subsequent cycles. Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, before each odd cycle and at end of treatment.

  2. Progression-Free Survival

    Progression-free survival estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods is defined as the time from registration to the earlier of death or disease progression. Patients alive without disease progression are censored at the date of last disease evaluation. Progressive disease (PD) based on RECIST 1.0 is at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Equivocal progression of non-target lesions also qualifies as PD.

    Measured: Clinical assessments were performed weekly for first 4 weeks and every 2 weeks in subsequent cycles. Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, before each odd cycle and at end of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 16 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 24 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 2 Dec 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?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: Clinical assessments were performed weekly for first 4 weeks and every 2 wks in subsequent cycles. Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, before each odd cycle and at end of trt.). 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 24 Aug 2018.
