Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a phase II, multi-centre, open label study in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The treatment being tested is Pamiparib, with daily dosing.

All patients enrolled to the study will receive treatment with pamiparib. Patients will be selected for entry into the study based on the molecular signature of their cancer.

Description:

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynaecologic cancer in Western women. Although initially responsive to therapy, drug resistance commonly evolves.

Novel mechanisms of drug resistance in ovarian cancer have been identified and include genetic mutations that result in the activation of a drug efflux pump and secondary mutations in BRCA1/2 genes that restore the cancer cell's ability to repair treatment related DNA damage. It is hypothesized that patients with BRCA1/2 mutant high grade serous ovarian cancer or carcinosarcoma who have progressed on recent therapy and have an activated efflux pump without a secondary BRCA1/1 mutation will be selectively sensitive to a new PARPi, Pamiparib, which does not get effluxed out of cancer cells.

The primary objective of this trial is to assess the clinical benefit rate at > 4 months in 2 cohorts of patients (cohort 1: post substrate-PARP inhibitor and cohort 2: post chemotherapy) defined as response or absence of progression. Secondary objectives are to determine the median progression free and overall survival of patients treated with Pamiparib and the impact on symptom burden and benefit.

Secondary	Best overall response according to CA-125	defined as best response from commencement of treatment determined by GCIG CA-125 criteria	Assessed for up to 3 years after the last patient enrolled has commenced treatment.
Secondary	Patient reported symptom burden	Using the Measure of Ovarian Cancer Symptoms and Treatment Concerns (MOST) v2 patient reported outcome measure (PROM); The scale measures disease or therapy related symptoms and symptom burden and well-being; Scale ranges: Subscales are reported in five different categories with the subscale score ranges below; Abdominal symptoms, higher values reflecting worst possible symptoms; Disease or treatment-related symptoms, higher values reflecting worst possible symptoms; Chemotherapy-related symptoms, higher values reflecting worst possible symptoms; Psychological symptoms, higher values reflecting worst possible symptoms; Well-being, higher values reflecting best possible symptoms; Each of the 5 subscales can be scored and analysed separately (item by item) or by taking the average of the component items.	At the time of consent to screening, at every cycle to 16 weeks, then every 4 cycles, and again at the time of progression. Assessed for up to 3 years after the last patient enrolled has commenced treatment.
Secondary	Patient reported results of the 40 item State-trait anxiety inventory for adults (STAI-ADTM)	The scale measures state level anxiety (S-Anxiety or current levels) and trait anxiety levels (T-anxiety or how someone generally feels); Scale ranges: STA Form Y-1 includes 20 items/questions, with a total score range of 20-80, and STA Form Y-2 includes 20 items/questions, with a total score range of 20-80. Each scored item/question is then given a weighted score of 1 to 4 with a rating of 4 indicative of a high level of anxiety for 10 x S-Anxiety items and 11 x T-Anxiety items. A high rating indicates the absences of anxiety for the remaining 10 S-Anxiety items and 9 T-Anxiety items. The scoring weights for the anxiety-present items are the same as the chosen numbers on the form and the scoring weight for the anxiety-absent items are reversed.; For each form separately, weighted scores are then totalled and averaged. Groups of respondents will be identified (including most anxious, least anxious, and middle) based on top, bottom, and middle percentiles.	This will be assessed 3 times - at the time of pre-screening consent, immediately prior to clinician consult with notification of pre-screening results, and immediately following notification of pre-screening results.
