Oxaliplatin, Gemcitabine and Bevacizumab in Women With Recurrent Mullerian Carcinoma

June 18, 2014 updated by: Neil S. Horowitz, MD, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

A Phase II Evaluation of Oxaliplatin, Gemcitabine and Bevacizumab in Women With Recurrent Mullerian Carcinoma

The main purpose of this study is to begin to collect information and try to learn whether or not the combination of oxaliplatin, gemcitabine and bevacizumab works in treating women with recurrent mullerian carcinoma. We will also collect more information about the safety and side effects of this combination of drugs. Gemcitabine and oxaliplatin are chemotherapy drugs that kill cancer cells. Bevacizumab is a new anti-cancer drug that works to slow or stop cell growth in cancerous tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

  • The study treatment is divided into periods called cycles. Each cycle is 28 days long. Participants will be given the study drugs intravenously on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle.
  • Gemcitabine will be given first, over a period of 30 minutes. Then oxaliplatin over a period of 2 hours. Finally, bevacizumab will be given over a period of 30 to 90 minutes. Participants will continue study treatment as long as their tumor is not growing and they are not experiencing unacceptable side effects. If the tumor goes away completely, the participant will have 2 more cycle of study treatment.
  • Blood will be drawn for routine testing every week during study treatment to check for side effects. Before day 1 and 15 of each cycle the following tests and procedures will be performed: a medical history; complete physical exam; vital signs; blood tests; and urine tests. Before day 1 of every other cycle, the following additional procedures will be performed: A CT scan, x-ray or ultrasound of your abdomen and pelvis; an x-ray of the chest (if required by the study doctor); blood tests; and urine samples.
  • If the participant's tumor goes away, they will be asked to return to the clinic for follow-up visits every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years. At each follow-up visit the following tests and procedures will be performed: medical history; complete physical examination; CT scan, x-ray or ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis; x-ray of the chest; and other tests if the doctor feels they are needed.
  • There is an optional sub-study that six subjects will be asked to take a part in that will give the study doctors important information about the way the body uses and breaks down the study drugs. This sub-study will involve special surgical procedures and scans that will be done during cycle 1 of the study treatment.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
