About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Letrozole and Everolimus in Relapsed Hormone Receptor Positive Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinomas

This pilot, phase II trial studies how well everolimus and letrozole work in treating patients with hormone receptor positive ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer that has come back. Everolimus and letrozole may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Demonstrate that the combination of letrozole and everolimus leads to a higher percentage of patients who are free of progression at 12 weeks (PFS 12) as compared with that observed in a previously reported phase 2 trial of letrozole alone for relapsed ovarian carcinomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Cancer antigen (CA)-125 response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the confirmed response rate, and adverse events.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Identify molecular biomarkers associated with a response to treatment with letrozole and everolimus in patients with relapsed ovarian carcinomas.

II. Develop and determine if response rates to letrozole and everolimus in patient derived xenograft (PDX) avatars correlate to responses noted in the patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive everolimus orally (PO) once daily (QD) and letrozole PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients Alive and Progression Free Survival at 12 Weeks

    The percentage of PFS12 successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the exact binomial method. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), Disease progression in evaluable patients will be defined as one or more of the following:

    • Any new disease and/or clear progression of evaluable disease; OR
    • 2 fold elevation in CA-125 from its lowest level (either initial level or nadir, whichever is lowest, since study enrollment) combined with CA-125 elevation confirmed by re-assay at any time.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Percentage of Participants With CA-125 Response

    CA-125 response: The key secondary endpoint of the study will be a CA-125 response, defined as a 50% or greater reduction in baseline CA-125. The null hypothesis will be set at CA-125 response rate of 8.3%, based on the response of single agent letrozole, as reported by Bowman et al (7). The treatment of letrozole and everolimus will be considered promising, based on CA-125, if the observed CA-125 response rate is 30% or more.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Confirmed Response Rate, Estimated Using RECIST 1.1 Criteria

    A confirmed tumor response is defined to be either a complete response or partial response noted as the objective status on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4 weeks apart. A complete response (CR) in evaluable patients will be defined as:

    • Disappearance of any sign of (evaluable) disease, AND
    • Normalization of CA-125; if CA-125 normalizes, it should be confirmed at any time.

    A partial response (PR) in evaluable patients will be defined as:

    • Decrement in CA-125 by >50%, and
    • Improvement in any additional evaluable disease (if present) as assessed by the enrolling physician.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events

    The number of patients with adverse events.The maximum grade for each type of adverse event (AE) will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine AE patterns. These tables are reported in the adverse events section of this report.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post-treatment

  4. Overall Suravival(OS)

    OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: Time from registration to death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), Disease progression in evaluable patients will be defined as one or more of the following:

    Any new disease and/or clear progression of evaluable disease; OR 2 fold elevation in CA-125 from its lowest level (either initial level or nadir, whichever is lowest, since study enrollment) combined with CA-125 elevation confirmed by re-assay at any time.

    Measured: Time from registration to the first of either disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Everolimus, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Letrozole in people with Ovarian Endometrioid Adenocarcinoma and Ovarian Seromucinous Carcinoma, run by Mayo Clinic at 2 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 15 inclusion and 25 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 23 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Mar 2020). 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?

Percentage of Patients Alive and Progression Free Survival at 12 Weeks (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT02283658.

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 23 Oct 2020.
