About this study

Official title: A Randomised Placebo-controlled Trial of Saracatinib (AZD0530) Plus Weekly Paclitaxel in Platinum Resistant Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the addition of the Src inhibitor saracatinib (AZD0530) to weekly paclitaxel improves efficacy, compared with paclitaxel plus placebo, in patients with relapsed platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The trial will also determine toxicity and ascertain whether the combination of paclitaxel plus saracatinib should proceed to a phase III trial.

Read the detailed description

A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II trial will be conducted. The overall aim of the trial is to investigate whether the addition of saracatinib to weekly paclitaxel improves efficacy, as measured by progression free survival, compared with paclitaxel plus placebo. The trial will also determine toxicity and ascertain whether the combination of paclitaxel plus saracatinib should proceed to a phase III trial.

The toxicity data from Study NCT00610714 (D8180C00015) suggests that a small number of patients could experience febrile neutropaenia during their first chemotherapy cycle. To combat this, saracatinib (175 mg OD)/matched placebo will begin 1 week prior to commencement of chemotherapy, and be given continuously until progression.

All patients will receive cycles of weekly paclitaxel chemotherapy. One cycle will consist of weekly paclitaxel (80 mg/m2) for 6 weeks followed by 2 weeks rest. If there is evidence of on-going response after 4 cycles, 3 further cycles of saracatinib/placebo plus weekly paclitaxel will be given, unless there is dose-limiting toxicity or the patient requests to discontinue treatment. If best response is stable disease after 4 cycles, treatment should be discontinued but may continue at the discretion of the Investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6 Month Progression-free Survival Rate (PFS) (Based on Combined Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 +/- Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) CA125 Criteria)

    Where a patient's disease is not measurable by RECIST v1.1, response may be based on GCIG CA125 criteria plus symptoms.

    The 6 month progression-free survival rate will be calculated by the trial statistician during the final analysis.

    Measured: Using RECIST v1.1 at baseline; at Week 7 or 8 of each chemotherapy cycle; and 3 monthly during follow up. CA125 response will be assessed at baseline, weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each chemotherapy cycle, and at every follow up visit.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: First saracatinib/placebo dose until death, assessed up to 36 months

  2. Objective Response Rate Based on Investigator Assessment Based on RECIST v1.1 +/- GCIG CA125 Criteria

    Where a patient's disease is not measurable by RECIST v1.1, response may be based on GCIG CA125 criteria plus symptoms.

    Measured: Using RECIST v1.1 at baseline; at Week 7 or 8 of each chemotherapy cycle; and 3 monthly during follow up. CA125 response will be assessed at baseline, weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each chemotherapy cycle, and at every follow up visit.

  3. Median Duration of Response

    Where a patient's disease is not measurable by RECIST v1.1, response may be based on GCIG CA125 criteria plus symptoms.

    Duration of Response will be calculated by the trial statistician during the final analysis.

    Measured: Using RECIST v1.1 at baseline; at Week 7 or 8 of each chemotherapy cycle; and 3 monthly during follow up. CA125 response will be assessed at baseline, weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each chemotherapy cycle, and at every follow up visit.

  4. Quality of Life: Trial Outcome Index (TOI) Based on FACT-O

    The TOI value for each patient is derived at each timepoint by calculating the sum of 3 subscales: Physical Well-Being (PWB), Functional Well-Being (FWB), Additional Concerns. Each subscale score is derived from questions with 4 answers (0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). In each subscale reversals are performed and the individual question scores added together. This value is then multiplied by the number of questions within the subscale, and divided by the number of questions answered to derive a subscale score. The higher each subscale score, the better the QoL.

    PWB 7 questions, lower values=better QoL.

    FWB 7 questions, higher values=better QoL.

    Additional concerns 11 questions (higher values in 6 questions=better QoL; higher values in 5 questions=worse QoL)

    The TOI is reported for each arm based on the average TOI score of each patient calculated across the outcome measure time frame. The higher the TOI, the better the QoL.

    Measured: Patients will fill in FACT-O questionnaires at the following timepoints: baseline; Weeks 1, 3 and 6 of every chemotherapy cycle; at every follow up visit

  5. Median Time To Progression Based on RECIST v1.1 and GCIG CA125 Criteria

    Where a patient's disease is not measurable by RECIST v1.1, response may be based on GCIG CA125 criteria plus symptoms.

    Time To Progression will be calculated by the trial statistician during the final analysis.

    Measured: Using RECIST v1.1 at baseline; at Week 7 or 8 of each chemotherapy cycle; and 3 monthly during follow up. CA125 response will be assessed at baseline, weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each chemotherapy cycle, and at every follow up visit.

  6. Median PFS

    Measured: From first saracatinib/placebo dose to first documented progression and/or death, assessed up to 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Paclitaxel and Saracatinib in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by University College, London at 12 sites in United Kingdom.

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 6 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 5 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 5 May 2015). 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?

6 Month Progression-free Survival Rate (PFS) (Based on Combined Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1 +/- Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) CA125 Criteria) (time frame: Using RECIST v1.1 at baseline; at Week 7 or 8 of each chemotherapy cycle; and 3 monthly during follow up. CA125 response will be assessed at baseline, weeks 1, 3 and 6 of each chemotherapy cycle, and at every follow up visit.). 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 NCT01196741, 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 5 May 2015.
