About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Fenretinide/LXS Oral Powder (NSC 374551) Plus Ketoconazole in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.

Read the detailed description

In this study, an initial Phase I component of six patients will be conducted to monitor for potential toxicities as this wil be the initial adult experience of fenretinide (4-HPR) given together with ketoconazole

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fenretinide/LXS + KetoconazoleDrug

    Also called 4-HPR, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide, Nizoral, Feoris

    Starting dose is: Fenretinide/LXS 800 mg 4-HPR/m2/day and Ketoconazole 400 mg/day

Study groups in NCT01535157
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Fenretinide/LXS + KetoconozaleExperimentalOne course is defined as 7 days of Fenretinide/LXS + Ketoconazole followed by 14 days of rest. A course is repeated every 21 days if no evidence of disease progression for six courses.
Receives: Drug: Fenretinide/LXS + Ketoconazole

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 2: Progression Free Survival

    The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: From date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)

  2. Phase 2: Overall Survival

    The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: From enrollment up to first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered treatment)

  3. Phase 1: To determine the systemic toxicity profile of 4-HPR/LXS oral powder + ketoconazole

    Toxicity information recorded will include the type, severity, time of onset, time of resolution, and the probable association with the study regimen.

    Measured: From time of first dose to the last (average 6 months)

  4. Phase 2: Event Free Survival

    The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: From enrollment up to the first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered on treatment)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetics -

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) steady state plasma concentrations; drug levels in plasma

    Measured: up to 48 months after the last subject enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fenretinide/LXS + Ketoconazole in people with Ovarian Cancer and Cancer of Ovary, run by South Plains Oncology Consortium at 3 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 9 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was stopped early (reason given: drug combination not providing any efficacy. Will use this data in opening new trial). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (time frame: From date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)). 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 27 Aug 2020.
