Dalantercept in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer

Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase II Evaluation of Dalantercept (NSC #757172), a Novel Soluble Recombinant Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 1 (ALK-1) Inhibitor Receptor-Fusion Protein, in the Treatment of Persistent or Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well dalantercept works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer that has returned. Dalantercept may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Dalantercept may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months and the proportion of patients who have objective tumor response (complete or partial) in patients with persistent or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, treated with dalantercept.

II. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events associated with treatment with dalantercept as assessed by the Active Version of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the duration of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To measure the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-B), activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1), cluster of differentiation 105 (CD105), and other markers via immunohistochemistry (IHC) and determine if there is correlation between expression and clinical response to treatment.

II. To determine the correlation between ALK1 gene expression, other markers, and clinical response to treatment.

III. To determine the correlation between concentration of VEGF, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)9, BMP10, and ALK1 in pre-cycle 1 plasma using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and clinical response to treatment.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dalantercept subcutaneously (SC) on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years. ;
