Study of Pembrolizumab With or Without CC-486 in Patients With Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer

Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase II Randomized Study of Pembrolizumab With or Without Epigenetic Modulation With CC-486 in Patients With Platinum-resistant Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the optimal dose of CC-486 (oral azacitidine) in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of platinum-resistant/refractory Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC).

Clinical Trial Description

This is an open-label, non-randomized, four-cohort study, in which intravenous pembrolizumab will be combined with 4 different schedules of administration of CC-486 (oral azacitidine), for the treatment of platinum-resistant/refractory (EOC). This is also a futility trial for the strategy to combine pembrolizumab and CC-486 in EOC. Eligible subjects will be treated in one of four cohorts of combined oral CC-486 and intravenous pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenous (IV) every 3 weeks in all cohorts) to evaluate the safety of each combination schedule and to have preliminary data on their efficacy. The primary objective is to establish the optimal dosing schedule for comparison with pembrolizumab alone.

Subjects will be assigned to a treatment cohort in the order they are enrolled in the study. In all subjects, tumor tissue will be obtained via image-guided core biopsy at study entry and 6 weeks after commencing treatment with CC-486. A cohort will remain open to accrual until five subjects treated on that cohort have completed two CC-486 cycles and have had the first post-baseline tumor burden assessment and both tumor biopsies performed and adequate paired tissue obtained. At least 5 evaluable subjects per cohort will be accrued over an estimated period of approximately 24 months.

Subjects will be treated in the assigned cohort until progressive disease based on Immune-Related Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (irRECIST), unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal or the Investigator concludes that it is in the subject´s best interest to discontinue. Once 5 subjects in each cohort are considered evaluable for response, toxicity and treatment responses will be analyzed for each of the four cohorts and an optimal schedule will be selected.

This study includes mandatory tumor core biopsies for biomarkers research and mandatory whole blood sampling for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation analyses. ;
