About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Intravenous Ontak to Treat Epithelial Ovarian Cancer FIGO Stage III or Stage IV, or Extraovarian Peritoneal Carcinoma, of Fallopian Tube Carcinoma Failing or Ineligible for First-Line Therapy

This study tests whether denileukin diftitox will deplete regulatory T cells, boost tumor-specific immunity and treat epithelial ovarian cancer in patients who have failed, or who are ineligible for front line therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-randomized, single-arm, Phase II trial. Selected patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancers who have no reasonable chance of cure using standard regimens, or who will not receive such regimens (due to contraindication or intolerance) are eligible. Patients will be treated with Ontak at 12 µg/kg monthly as long as they meet response criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ontak in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and Extraovarian Peritoneal Cancer, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 27 Mar 2018. 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 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 19 Oct 2012). 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?

Number of Participants Demonstrating Clinical Response (time frame: 2 years). 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 27 Mar 2018.
