Patients must be 6 weeks from carboplatin- or mitomycin C-containing therapy. Exceptions: Raloxifene will be allowed for bone health and bisphosphonate therapy will be allowed for the rare situation of bone metastasis.
- There is no limit to the number of prior regimens patients may have received for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
- Patients must have recovered from any toxicity related to prior cancer therapy to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1, except for stable peripheral neuropathy, which must have recovered to grade 2 or better, and grade 2 total white blood cell count when ANC is greater than or equal to 1500 (alopecia and hypertension exempted).
- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate barrier contraception (interaction with oral contraceptives is unknown) prior to study entry, during therapy and for 3 months after completion of therapy and must have a negative pregnancy test.
- Patients must be able to give written informed consent.
Who cannot join
- Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it unsafe for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.

About this study
Background:
- The best treatment for ovarian and related female reproductive tract cancers is not yet known for patients whose disease has not responded to or has recurred after standard treatment. The cancer treatment drug pegaspargase (ONCASPAR (Trademark)), which works differently from standard chemotherapy, has been approved to treat leukemia and has been given to a small number of patient with ovarian and other types of cancer. Because pegaspargase may reduce the development of cancer cells and blood vessel cells that contribute to cancer growth and ability to spread, treatment with pegaspargase could shrink ovarian cancer tumors and help ovarian cancer patients live longer and with fewer symptoms from their disease.
Read more
Objectives:
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pegaspargase in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer.
Eligibility:
- Women at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to at least one operation, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy.
Design:
- Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors.
- Participants will receive an infusion of pegaspargase on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle.
- Participants will have dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at the start of the study, before beginning pegaspargase, and again 6 weeks into the treatment. This test will determine if pegaspargase is affecting blood flow to the cancer site.
- Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 8 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site.
- The treatment will be repeated as long as the participant tolerates the medication and his or her cancer is either steady or improving.
Read the detailed description
Background:
- The bacterial enzyme L-asparaginase (L-ASP) catalyzes hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartate and is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Studies demonstrated in vitro cytotoxic activity against solid tumor types including ovarian cancer.
- Our laboratory demonstrated L-ASP inhibits vascular remodeling and modulates heterotypic adhesion interactions between ovarian cancer cells and endothelial cells. Results indicate L-ASP has the ability to modify the local tumor microenvironment.
- Epithelial ovarian cancer requires neovascularization for growth and metastasis. Anti-angiogenesis agents show promise in treatment of recurrent disease.
- The pegylated form of L-ASP, pegaspargase, (Sigma Tau ONCASPAR (Trademark)) is shown to deplete serum levels of asparagine and is approved for ALL. ONCASPAR is in clinical trial with gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors.
- Recommended dose of pegaspargase in ALL is 2,500 IU/m^2 every two weeks intramuscular (IM)/intravenous (IV). IM dosing of 2,000 IU/m^2 every two weeks has been studied in a phase I protocol with various solid tumors.
- Demonstration of safety and anti-angiogenic activity will lead to combination studies.
Primary Objectives:
- To preliminarily evaluate the anti-tumor activity of pegaspargase, 2,000 IU/ m^2 every two weeks intravenous (IV) (or intramuscular (IM)) and explore associations with toxicity and clinical outcome.
- To evaluate the safety of pegaspargase in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian, fallopian tube, and/or primary peritoneal cancer.
Secondary Objectives:
- To explore changes in circulating angiogenic cytokines after treatment with pegaspargase.
- To measure apoptosis and proliferation in tumor (or malignant effusion) by protein array before and during therapy.
- To evaluate changes in tumor vascularity using dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Eligibility:
- Women with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer that is persistent, relapsed and/or refractory to prior therapy.
- There is no limit to number of prior treatment regimens. Patients may not have previously received L-ASP.
- Women must have disease amenable to biopsy or malignant effusions (pleural effusion or ascites) that may be serially tapped.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, 2.
- Evidence of adequate end organ function and normal coagulation parameters (prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)).
Design:
- Women will receive 2,000 IU/m^2 of pegaspargase intravenously every two weeks in 28-day cycles until disease progression, excessive toxicity, or withdrawal from study.
- Biopsy of tumor and dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed prior to starting pegaspargase (mandatory) and after 6 weeks of treatment (optional).
- Clinical outcome will be measured and correlated with biological endpoints.
- Research blood samples will be taken to assess changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-6 (IL6), and interleukin-8 (IL8).
- Blood will be collected to evaluate circulating endothelial cells.
- Patients will be seen in clinic every 4 weeks and outcome measured every other cycle.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Pegylated L-Asparaginase in people with Ovarian Neoplasms and Fallopian Tube Neoplasms, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 17 inclusion and 9 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 9 Oct 2015. 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 12 Sep 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?
6 Month Progression Free Survival (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT01313078, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 9 Oct 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
