About this study

Official title: A Study of the Local and Systemic Effects of Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Previously-Untreated, Invasive Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

This research trial studies biomarkers in patients with previously untreated invasive ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Studying samples of tumor tissue, peritoneal cavity fluid, and blood from patients receiving chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal) may help doctors learn more about the effects of intraperitoneal chemotherapy on cells. It may also help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the feasibility of obtaining peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and peripheral blood in patients receiving intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy for ovarian cancer at multiple institutions.

II. Assess the recovery and viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and immune cell subsets in peritoneal fluid and washings.

III. Assess the amount of peritoneal fluid that can be obtained pre-treatment and at specified time points during the course of IP chemotherapy.

IV. Quantify the type and number of cells in peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood recovered from women before and during treatment with platinum and taxane based IP chemotherapy.

  1. Determine the levels of immunomodulatory cytokines in peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood recovered from women before and during treatment with platinum and taxane based IP chemotherapy.

VI. Generate exploratory information on the impact of platinum and taxane based IP chemotherapy on immunomodulatory cytokines and tumor-associated alterations in cell phenotypes of peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood.

VII. To determine the feasibility of obtaining peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and peripheral blood in patients receiving intravenous (IV) chemotherapy for ovarian cancer at multiple institutions (limited to patients that receive an IP catheter at the time of surgery and the catheter is left in by the investigator, but are subsequently treated with IV chemotherapy).

VIII. Assess the amount of peritoneal fluid that can be obtained pre-treatment and at specified time points during the course of IV chemotherapy.

IX. Assess the recovery and viability of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and immune cell subsets in peritoneal fluid and washings.

  1. Quantify the type and number of immune cells in peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood recovered from women before and during treatment with platinum and taxane based IV chemotherapy.

XI. Determine levels of immunomodulatory cytokines in peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood recovered from women before and during treatment with platinum and taxane-based IV chemotherapy.

XII. Generate exploratory information on the impact of platinum and taxane based IV chemotherapy on immunomodulatory cytokines tumor-associated alterations in cell phenotypes of peritoneal fluid, peritoneal washings, and blood.

XIII. Explore whether there is a relationship between immune cell populations measured in peripheral blood, peritoneal fluid, and peritoneal washings AND immune cell subsets measured by immunohistochemistry in archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to a group based on which arm of treatment they are randomized to receive on Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG)-0252.

GROUP A (IP CATHETER REMOVED): Archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor (collected during previous surgery), peritoneal fluid, peritoneal wash, and blood (for cell, plasma, and serum isolation) samples are collected before course one and blood (for cell, plasma, and serum isolations) is collected before courses two and three for translational research.

GROUP B (IP CATHETER IN PLACE): Archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor (collected during previous surgery), peritoneal fluid, peritoneal wash, and blood (for cell, plasma, and serum isolation) samples are collected before course one and peritoneal fluid, peritoneal wash, and blood (for cell, plasma, and serum isolations) before courses two and three for translational research.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of peritoneal fluid obtained during each attempted extraction of peritoneal fluid or washing

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Presence of immune cells measured by immunohistochemistry in archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue

    The staining intensities of immune cells detected in immunohistochemically stained paraffin tissue will be described using descriptive statistics such as the median, 1st and 3rd quartiles of staining intensities. Spearman's correlation coefficient will be used to assess associations between these intensities and the cell counts obtained from pre-treatment peripheral blood and peritoneal fluids. Boxplots or scattergrams will be used to display these data.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Quantity of each type of immune cells identified in the peritoneal fluid or washings specimens

    A Wilcoxon signed rank test will be used to evaluate the null hypothesis that the expectation of the pretreatment cell counts is equal to the expectation of the post-treatment cell count. Descriptive statistics such as the mean, variance, median, 1st and 3rd quartiles as well as the spearman correlation between pre- and post- treatment cell counts will be reported for each cell type. Boxplots or scattergrams will be used to display the results. The mean, variance and quartiles of the amount of fluid recovered from pre-treatment and post-treatment samples will also be reported.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Quantity of each type of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood

    The number and type of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood will be described using descriptive statistics such as the median, 1st and 3rd quartiles. Spearman's correlation coefficient will be used to assess associations between pre- and post- treatment values. Boxplots or scattergrams will be used to display these data. A Wilcoxon signed rank test, that involves the patients' pre- and post- treatment measurements, will be used to evaluate the null hypothesis that these cell counts are unchanged by treatment.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fallopian Tube Carcinoma and Ovarian Carcinoma, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 9 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 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 22 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Amount of peritoneal fluid obtained during each attempted extraction of peritoneal fluid or washing (time frame: Up to 1 year). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 May 2018.
