Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lenalidomide together with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Phase I - Primary

• To determine the maximum tolerated dose of lenalidomide when combined with fixed dose pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in women with recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Phase II - Define the best overall response induced by lenalidomide in recurrent ovarian cancer patients

Secondary

• To obtain preliminary information on toxicity, response, and time to progression (duration of response) of these patients.

• Progression free survival

Phase I OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of lenalidomide. Patients receive oral lenalidomide once daily on days 1-28 and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride intravenously (IV) on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Phase II OUTLINE: The phase II component will include patients with measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria treated at lenalidomide 10 mg days 1-28 days of a 28 day cycle (Maximum Tolerated Dose from phase I) with liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m^2 to determine efficacy and safety of the combination therapy. (Effective with April 2010 revision)

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

• All previous cancer therapy, including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and surgery, must have been discontinued at least 28 days prior to treatment in this study. Use of thalidomide, or structurally related compounds, radiation, or biologic response modifiers must be discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to treatment in this study.

• Progression free of prior malignancies for > or = 5 years with exception of currently treated basal cell, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma "in situ" of the cervix or breast.

• Females of childbearing potential (FCBP)† must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL within 10 - 14 days prior to and again within 24 hours of starting lenalidomide and must either commit to continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE SAME TIME, at least 28 days before she starts taking lenalidomide. FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. All patients must be counseled at a minimum of every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure.

• Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to ASA may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin)

• Voluntary written informed consent before performance of any study-related procedure not part of normal medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the subject at any time without prejudice to future medical care.

• A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months).

Exclusion criteria:

• Histologic diagnosis of borderline or low malignant potential epithelial carcinoma.

• Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent the patient from signing the consent form.

• Prior history of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, or arrhythmia requiring medication. History of uncontrolled hypertension. History of systolic or diastolic dysfunction. EKG evidence of ventricular hypertrophy, conduction abnormality, or serious arrhythmia.

• History of deep vein thromboembolism (DVT) within the previous 6 months, history of thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorders.

• Pregnant or breast feeding females. Lenalidomide is pregnancy category X.

• Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places the patient at unacceptable risk if she were to participate in the study or confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.

• Use of any other experimental drug or therapy within 28 days of study registration.

• Known hypersensitivity reaction > grade 2 to thalidomide or structurally related compounds

• The development of erythema nodosum if characterized by a desquamating rash while taking thalidomide or similar drugs

• Any prior use of lenalidomide or liposomal doxorubicin

• Concurrent use of other anti-cancer agents or treatments

• Known positive for HIV or infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C

Primary	Phase 1 - Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Lenalidomide When Combined With Fixed Dose Liposomal Doxorubicin in Women With Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancer	The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) reflects the highest dose of Lenalidomide when combined with fixed dose Liposomal Doxorubicin at which no more than one out of 6 participants experiences a dose limiting toxicity (DLT).	1 cycle (28 days)
Primary	Phase 1 - Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	DLT is defined as the inability to complete cycle 1 and/or begin cycle 2 within 7 days of the planned start due to a grade 4 or greater hemtologic toxicity or a grade 3 or greater non-hematologic toxicity. Grading was based on Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Version 4.	within 5 weeks of starting treatment
Primary	Phase 2 - Number of Subjects Achieving a Partial or Complete Response	Partial response is defined as: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter. To be assigned a status of partial response, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than four weeks after the criteria for response are first met.; Complete response is defined as: The disappearance of all target lesions. To be assigned a status of complete response, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than four weeks after the criteria for response are first met.	3 months after starting treatment
Secondary	Phase 2 - Number of Subjects Who Are Progression-Free and Alive	Progression is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s).	3 months after starting treatment
Secondary	Phase 2 - Number of Subjects Who Are Progression-Free and Alive	Progression is defined as: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurement, or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s).	6 months after starting treatment
