About this study

Official title: A Proof of Concept Clinical Trial of the Combination Cediranib-Olaparib at the Time of Disease Progression on Olaparib in Ovarian Cancer

This is a phase 2 study (the second phase in testing a new drug or drug combination) to see how useful adding investigational drug cediranib to olaparib after disease progression on olaparib alone in patients with ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

Cediranib works by blocking (inhibiting) several specific proteins in cancer cells called the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptors. These proteins are important in the formation of blood vessels to the tumor. It is believed that many tumors survive because the blood vessels on the tumors bring oxygen and nutrients to the cancer cells which enable them to grow. If the formation of the blood vessels is blocked, the tumor cells may die.

Olaparib works by blocking protein called poly [adenosine diphosphate-ribose] polymerase (PARP). PARP is an important protein which tries to fix damaged deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, molecules that contain important instructions for the development of cells). Many cancers are though develop from damaged DNA. By blocking PARP from fixing damaged DNA, the tumor cells may die.

Adding cediranib to olaparib, and therefore blocking several different mechanisms for cancer growth, may stop tumor growth.

What participants receive

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

  • OlaparibDrug

    Also called AZD2281, KU-0059436

  • CediranibDrug

    Also called AZD2171, Recentin™

    Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is a potent inhibitor of all three VEGF receptors (VEGFR-1, -2 and -3)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Mutation status of genes compared to response to treatment

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Number of occurences per side effect and severity

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Assess patient reported outcomes during treatment

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olaparib and Cediranib in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 12 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 12 Jun 2018. 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 Canada. 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?

Percentage of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment (time frame: 2 years). 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 12 Jun 2018.
