Study on Combining Cediranib and Olaparib with Chemotherapy for Recurrent Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT02502266

This clinical trial is testing whether a combination of the drugs Cediranib and Olaparib, given together or separately, is more effective than standard chemotherapy in treating ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned after platinum-based chemotherapy.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The purpose of this study is to find out if using Cediranib and Olaparib together or separately can better control ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. These drugs may work by blocking certain enzymes needed for cancer cell growth. The study will compare these treatments to standard chemotherapy to see which is more effective in stopping cancer growth.

Description

This study is divided into two phases: Phase II and Phase III.

In Phase II, researchers will evaluate how well Cediranib and Olaparib work together or separately compared to standard chemotherapy in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant or refractory ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The main goal is to see if these treatments can help patients live longer without the cancer getting worse.

In Phase III, the study will further assess the effectiveness of Cediranib and Olaparib, focusing on overall survival and progression-free survival compared to standard chemotherapy.

The study will also look at the safety of these treatments, the response rate of the cancer to the treatments, and the quality of life of the patients. Researchers will explore how certain genetic markers and blood tests might predict how well patients respond to the treatments.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination of Cediranib and Olaparib, Cediranib alone, Olaparib alone, or standard chemotherapy. They will undergo regular scans and tests to monitor their health and the cancer's response to the treatment. After completing the study treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every few months for up to three years.
