About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Pazopanib and Weekly Topotecan in Patients With Platinum-resistant or Intermediate-sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

This clinical trial shall clarify the efficacy and safety of pazopanib in combination with weekly topotecan in patients with platinum-resistant or intermediate platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian and peritoneal carcinoma

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective single-arm, open-label, multicenter phase I/II trial. The phase I-trial is a dose-escalation trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pazopanib in combination with weekly topotecan. The phase II-trial is a single arm open-label trial to further assess the safety and the efficacy of this combination of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing pazopanib in combination with weekly topotecan in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by JSehouli at 1 site in Germany.

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 11 inclusion and 28 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2016. 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 Germany. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jalid Sehouli, Prof. Dr. (+49 (0) 30 450 ext. 564002, jalid.sehouli@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase I: Assessment of dose-limiting toxicity in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pazopanib in combination with weekly topotecan (time frame: after 4 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01600573, 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 11 Oct 2016.
