Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride With Atezolizumab and/​or Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Study Details | Source

  • Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
  • This phase II/III trial studies how well pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride with atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back (recurrent). Chemotherapy drugs, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body’s immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known which combination will work better in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Data collection for Secondary Outcome measures is ongoing and the approximate duration of the study will be 7 years.
  • Interventions: DRUG: Niraparib|DRUG: Placebo

Testing the Combination of Cediranib and Olaparib in Comparison to Each Drug Alone or Other Chemotherapy in Recurrent Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Study Details | Source

  • Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
  • This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well cediranib maleate and olaparib work when given together or separately, and compares them to standard chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned (recurrent) after receiving chemotherapy with drugs that contain platinum (platinum-resistant) or continued to grow while being treated with platinum-based chemotherapy drugs (platinum-refractory). Cediranib maleate and olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cediranib maleate and olaparib together may cause more damage to cancer cells when compared to either drug alone or standard chemotherapy.
  • Interventions: DRUG: Cediranib|DRUG: Cediranib Maleate|PROCEDURE: Computed Tomography|PROCEDURE: Magnetic Resonance Imaging|DRUG: Olaparib|DRUG: Paclitaxel|DRUG: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride|OTHER: Questionnaire Administration|DRUG: Topotecan|DRUG: Topotecan Hydrochloride
  • Primary Outcomes Measures: Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II and Phase III), Progression-free survival will be assessed. The primary analysis of PFS will be assessed using a proportional hazards model with patients analyzed according to the arm to which they were randomized, regardless of whether treatment is received., Time from study enrollment to the onset of progression as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST) criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years overall survival (OS) (Phase III), Overall survival will be evaluated. To allow for better understanding of time to subsequent therapy and OS, patients on experimental study drug(s) or standard chemotherapy arm will be followed after progression, with data capture to include the date of initiation of the subsequent therapy, detailed information on the type of subsequent therapy received, and time to progression on the subsequent therapy. Time from study enrollment to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years.
