Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of Avastin and Docetaxel in the treatment of women with platinum sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer within 12 months of platinum chemotherapy.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Enrollment: 45
• Est. completion date: October 2012
• Est. primary completion date: October 2012
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Female
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed informed consent

• Pathologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, peritoneal serous cancer, or fallopian tube cancer

• Patient's disease recurrence or progression occurs between 0 to 12 months (1 to 365 days) from prior platinum-containing chemotherapy regimen. Patients, however, may not receive study drug until at least 28 days from prior chemotherapy.

• The patient may have received up to three prior chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of this malignancy. Patients who may have received prior treatment with paclitaxel and/or a platinum compound will be allowed. Rechallenge with the same platinum based regimen is considered 1 prior regimen. Patients who have been treated with consolidation treatment are allowed and the consolidation will not be considered a separate regimen. Hormonal therapy (i.e. progesterones, estrogens, anti-estrogens, aromatase inhibitors) will not be considered a prior chemotherapy regimen.

• Measurable or evaluable disease either by the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or cancer antigen (CA)125 criteria [Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI), Vol. 96, No. 6, March 17, 2004, Vergote JNCI 2000]

• At least 4 weeks since major surgery, with full recovery

• At least 3 weeks since radiotherapy, with full recovery. The measurable disease must be completely outside of the radiation port.

• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status </= 2

• Hematologic (minimal values): Absolute neutrophil count >/= 1,500/mm^3, Hemoglobin >/= 8.0 g/dL (transfusions allowed), Platelet count >/= 100,000/mm^3

• Hepatic: Total Bilirubin </= upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase must be within the range allowing for eligibility. In determining eligibility the more abnormal of the 2 values (AST or ALT) should be used.

• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test.

• Patients of childbearing potential must be willing to consent to using effective contraception while on treatment and for 3 months following the completion of treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

Prior treatment with Docetaxel or Avastin

• Concurrent immunotherapy or hormonal therapy for the specific purpose of treatment for the ovarian cancer. Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to enrollment in order for the patient to be eligible to participate in this trial. Continuation of hormonal replacement therapy is allowed.

• Peripheral neuropathy >/= grade 2

• History of a severe hypersensitivity reaction to Docetaxel, Avastin, or to other drugs formulated with polysorbate (Tween) 80.

• Current, recent (within 4 weeks of the first infusion of this study), or planned participation in an experimental drug study of Avastin

• Blood pressure of >150/100 mmHg Unstable angina

• New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure

• History of myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1

• History of stroke within 6 months prior to Day 1

• Clinically significant peripheral vascular disease

• Evidence of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy

• Presence of central nervous system or brain metastases

• Major surgical procedure, open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to Day 0, anticipation of need for major surgical procedure during the course of the study

• Minor surgical procedures such as fine needle aspirations or core biopsies within 7 days prior to Day 0

• Pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or lactating

• Urine protein: creatinine ratio >/= 1.0 at screening

• History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to Day 0

• Serious, non-healing wound, active ulcer, or untreated bone fracture

• Evidence of malignancy in the last 5 years, other than nonmelanoma cutaneous carcinomas

• History of hemoptysis (bright red blood of 1/2 teaspoon or more) within last 3 months

• Patients believed to possibly be at higher than average risk of perforation will be excluded from study. This includes symptoms or findings of partial or complete bowel obstruction, history of fistula, patients requiring parenteral nutrition and hydration, and those with history of prior perforation due to tumor or perforation within last 6 months from other causes.

• Inability to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures.

• Patients who are not on a stable dose of anticoagulation therapy. Patients who are on a stable anticoagulation regimen, including coumadin or low molecular-weight heparin, will not be excluded.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Six Month Progression Free Survival (PFS)	Percentage of participants with PFS at six months. PFS: Period from study entry until disease progression, death due to disease progression, or date of last contact.; Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, progression of non-target lesions, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.	6 months per participant	No
Secondary	Median Progression Free Survival	PFS: Period from study entry until disease progression, death due to disease progression, or date of last contact.; Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, progression of non-target lesions, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.	Up to 5 years	No
Secondary	Overall Response Rate (RR)	Overall Response: Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR). To determine the response rate (RR) of the investigational treatment regimen. Response and progression were evaluated in the study by using the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) method or modified Rustin Criteria for CA-125 measurements.	Up to 5 years	No
Secondary	Occurrence of Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity	Number of participants with Grade 3 or 4 Toxicity based on 278 treatment cycles. Toxicity was graded per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0.	Up to 4 years	Yes
Secondary	Overall Survival (OS)	Overall Survival (OS): defined as observed length of life from entry onto the protocol to death, or for living patients, date of last contact (regardless of whether or not this contact is on a subsequent protocol). Survival (PFS and OS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method with standard errors based on Greenwood's formula.	Up to 5 years	No
