About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 1 Trial Evaluating the Safety of Weekly Paclitaxel With Oncothermia and Weekly cisPlatin With Oncothermia in Patients With Recurrent or Persistent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

The investigators aimed to evaluate the safety of weekly paclitaxel with oncothermia and weekly cisplatin with oncothermia in patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma. This trial is a randomized phase 1 trial. The investigators planned to perform it for 1 year. In this trial, a total of 12 patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma are randomly assigned to either a paclitaxel or cisplatin group in ratio of 1 to 1. Paclitaxel group are treated with weekly paclitaxel and oncothermia. Cisplatin group are treated with weekly cisplatin and oncothermia. In each group, limiting toxicity is evaluated after treating 3 patients for 4-cycles. Primary endpoint is occurrence of limiting toxicity. Secondary endpoints are response rate, progression-free survival, overall-survival, quality of life, pain, fatigue and compliance rate.

Read the detailed description

This trial is a randomized phase 1 trial. We planned to perform it for 1 year. Subjects of study are patients diagnosed as recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma. The number of subjects of study is 12 patients (If patients cannot be assessed, they can be replaced with new patients). All subjects who were randomly assigned, are treated with weekly paclitaxel or weekly cisplatin. In paclitaxel group, patients are treated with weekly paclitaxel 70mg/m2 (IV) on day 1, 8, and 15 at an intervals of 4 weeks. In cisplatin group, patients are treated with weekly cisplatin 40mg/m2 (IV) on day 1, 8, and 15 at an intervals of 4 weeks. Thermotherapy is performed by applying oncothermia (EHY 2000) probe on the part of body where tumor is located and delivering energy. It is performed on day 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, 21, and 24 (8 times in total every cycle). Oncothermia can be performed a day earlier than scheduled day or a day later than scheduled day. It takes 60 minutes to treat a site for oncothermia. Energy is gradually increased from 60W to 140W. With tumors at multiple sites, oncothermia is performed several times changing sites that apply probe and type of probes. Oncothermia is performed for 60 minutes per each application. Patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma are randomly assigned to either a paclitaxel or cisplatin group in ratio of 1 to 1. Paclitaxel group are treated with weekly paclitaxel and oncothermia. Cisplatin group are treated with weekly cisplatin and oncothermia. In each group, limiting toxicity is evaluated after treating 3 patients for 4-cycles. In group that limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or less than 1 patient, limiting toxicity is evaluated after treating 3 additional patients for 4-cycles. When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or less than one of six assessable patients, it is considered that the specific therapy is safe enough to be used in phase 2 trial. Primary endpoint is occurrence of limiting toxicity. Secondary endpoints are response rate, progression-free survival, overall-survival, quality of life, toxicity, pain, fatigue and compliance rate. Patients visit twice a week until 4-cycles are completed or progression of disease is confirmed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of limiting toxicity

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed.

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. response rate

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed.

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  2. progression-free survival

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed.

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  3. overall-survival

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed.

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  4. quality of life, assessed with the Korean version of WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF).

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed. Quality of life would be assessed with the Korean version of WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF).

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  5. pain, assessed with the Korean version of the brief pain inventory (BPI).

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed. Pain would be assessed with the Korean version of the brief pain inventory (BPI).

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  6. fatigue, assessed with the Korean version of the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI).

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed. Fatigue would be assessed with the Korean version of the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI).

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

  7. compliance rate

    When limiting toxicity occur in the rate equal to or more than two of six assessable patients, study would be closed. Compliance rate would be assessed with the number of patients that are dropped out from current clinical trial based on other reasons instead of disease. It would be recorded as compliance rate = the number of patients that are dropped out due to other reasons/the number of total patients · 100 (%)

    Measured: 8 cycles up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing weekly paclitaxel, weekly cisplatin and oncothermia in people with Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma and Fallopian Tube Carcinoma, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 Jul 2024. 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 South Korea. 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 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.

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?

Occurrence of limiting toxicity (time frame: 8 cycles up to 1 year). 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 NCT02344095, 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 12 Jul 2024.
