About this study

Official title: Halting Early Advancement of Residual Disease by Treatment With Bevacizumab and Atezolizumab in Ovarian Cancer

This study is being done to look at the combination of the drugs atezolizumab and bevacizumab as a maintenance treatment (treatment given after the main treatment to keep the cancer from coming back or worsening) following standard therapy in patients with high grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with a mutation (change) in a gene called TP53. Genes are molecules in the body that are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and control how the body's cells behave.

Read the detailed description

Atezolizumab and bevacizumab are a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. Antibodies are proteins that are naturally found in the blood stream that fight infections. A monoclonal antibody is a special kind of antibody that is created in a laboratory that seeks out specific proteins in the body that may be involved in cancers to stop tumor growth.

When tumor cells start to die, broken down pieces of the tumor's DNA gets released into the blood stream, called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Looking at ctDNA may be useful in determining whether the cancer is responding to treatment.

The purpose of this research study is to see whether looking at tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream can help to determine which patients may respond to atezolizumab and bevacizumab and whether this drug combination is useful, when given as a maintenance treatment for patients with TP53 mutant ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • AtezolizumabDrug

    Also called TECENTRIQ

    Atezolizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin (IgG1) monoclonal antibody that targets programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) on tumor-infiltrating immune cells (ICs) or tumor cells (TCs) and prevents interaction with the programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor and B7.1 (CD80), both of which function as inhibitory receptors expressed on T cells and other immune cells.

  • BevacizumabDrug

    Also called AVASTIN

    Bevacizumab is a recombinant humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds VEGF, a secreted factor that stimulates angiogenesis. Bevacizumab prevents the interaction of VEGF with its receptors and neutralizes the biological activity of VEGF.

Study groups in NCT04510584
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Atezolizumab and BevacizumabExperimentalA cycle will be every 3 weeks. Atezolizumab will be given intravenously (by vein) at a dose of 1200 mg once every cycle. Bevacizumab will be given intravenously at a dose of 15 mg/kg once every cycle. Up to 17 cycles of study treatment may be given. Participants may be able to receive the study treatment for more than 17 cycles if the participants and the study doctor thinks that they are benefiting.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Atezolizumab and Bevacizumab in people with Ovarian Endometrioid Tumor and Fallopian Tube 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 22 inclusion and 35 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jun 2023. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of participants where increase in circulating deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) level is related to progression (time frame: 3 months). 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 6 Jun 2023.
