About this study

Official title: EP-100, a Novel LHRH Receptor-Targeted, Membrane-Disrupting Peptide, Plus Paclitaxel Versus Paclitaxel Alone for Refractory or Recurrent Ovarian Cancer: A Phase II, Randomized, Multicenter Trial

Primary Objectives: o Run-in Phase: Determine a dose of EP-100 at which the initial benefit/risk of paclitaxel combined with EP-100 can be studied. o Randomized Phase: Compare the anti-tumor effects of EP-100 combined with weekly paclitaxel versus paclitaxel alone in patients with ovarian cancer. Secondary Objectives: o Randomized Phase: Quantify any significant changes in the safety profile of weekly paclitaxel alone compared to the doublet combination of paclitaxel with EP-100. o Determine an initial benefit/risk profile for this new drug combination.

Read the detailed description

Total duration of the study for each participant is 9 to 10 months, consisting of a 1 month screening period, a 6 to 7 months treatment period, and a 30 day follow-up. All patients with stable disease or who have achieved partial or complete response and for whom dosing has been safe and reasonably well-tolerated may continue additional treatment cycles on the same regimen. Any patient whose imaging assessment shows disease progression after receiving at least two cycles of single agent weekly paclitaxel on ARM 1 may then be offered treatment with the combination of EP-100 plus paclitaxel in the same dose regimen as ARM 2.

Being tested
EP-100, Paclitaxel

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing EP-100 and Paclitaxel in people with Ovarian Cancer Recurrent, run by Esperance Pharmaceuticals Inc at 15 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 4 inclusion and 17 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 10 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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?

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?

Number of patients with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) at different doses (time frame: Up to 30 weeks). 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?
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 10 Jun 2014.
