Trial summary

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer. It is estimated that 22,440 new cases of EOC will be diagnosed in 2017 with an estimated 14,080 EOC deaths. Several different histological subtypes of OC can be identified. Read more about this study

About this study

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancer. It is estimated that 22,440 new cases of EOC will be diagnosed in 2017 with an estimated 14,080 EOC deaths. Several different histological subtypes of OC can be identified.

Over 90% of malignant ovarian tumors are epithelial cancers (EOC), which are then classified into 5 broad histological subtypes: serous, endometrioid, mucinous, clear cell and mixed or carcinosarcomatous mullerian tumors. Almost 10 years ago, a new classification was proposed that separated ovarian cancers into type I and II tumors.

Type II tumors included high-grade serous, which frequently contain mutations in p53, NF1, BRCA1, and BRCA2 and CDK125. Serous carcinomas represent the vast majority of primary malignant ovarian tumors (75%-80%), among these high-grade serous (HGSOC) accounts for 85%-90% and for the majority of the deaths due to ovarian cancer. The 5-year survival rate for EOC is only 46% because >60% of patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Patients with advanced stage EOC are typically managed with cytoreductive surgery and perioperative platinum-based chemotherapy, either in the adjuvant setting or with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery.

Although primary advanced stage EOC is initially sensitive to this treatment paradigm, >75% will eventually recur. Patients with recurrent disease are treated with additional lines of chemotherapy that may increase survival but is ultimately not curative. Given the high relapse rate and poor prognosis of advanced stage EOC, interest is increasing in the development of new approaches to treat recurrent EOC.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess DNA-PK as a potential predictive biomarker for distinguishing patients who will benefit from CBDCA/TAX therapy from those who will respond more favorably to the CBDCA/PLD regimen, based on DNA-PK expression levels.

    Two years progression free survival will be estimated with Kaplan-Meier methods and reported as survival probability in the two treatment groups. PFS will be defined as time from the beginning of second line platinum based therapy and progression or death or end of follow-up whichever comes first

    Measured: up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluation of the Response Rate

    Response rate will be reported as numbers and percentages and evaluated based on RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Measured: up to 5 years

  2. Evaluation of Overall Survival in the different treatment regimens

    Overall Survival (OS) will be evaluated with Kaplan-Meier methods and reported separately for the two treatment groups. OS will be defined as time from the beginning of second line platinum based therapy and death or end of follow-up whichever comes first

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  3. PFS in patients treated with biomarker driven therapy and physician's choice therapy

    Difference in PFS between subgroups of patients will be evaluated with Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test

    Measured: up to 5 years

  4. OS in patients treated with biomarker driven therapy and physician's choice therapy

    Difference in OS between subgroups of patients will be evaluated with Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer, run by Centro di Riferimento Oncologico - Aviano at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 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 8 Apr 2025. 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 Italy. 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.

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?

To assess DNA-PK as a potential predictive biomarker for distinguishing patients who will benefit from CBDCA/TAX therapy from those who will respond more favorably to the CBDCA/PLD regimen, based on DNA-PK expression levels. (time frame: up to 5 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 8 Apr 2025.
