Phase II Study of NGR-hTNF in Combination With Doxorubicin in Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer (NGR018)

September 25, 2018 updated by: AGC Biologics S.p.A.

NGR018: Randomized Phase II Study of NGR-hTNF Plus an Anthracycline Versus an Anthracycline Alone in Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer

The primary objective of this randomized phase II trial is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients randomized to NGR-hTNF plus an anthracycline versus patients randomized to an anthracycline alone

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Considering the safety/toxicity profile of NGR-hTNF characterized by mild-to-moderate constitutional symptoms, the reversibility of these adverse events generally occurring only during the infusion time; the absence of overlapping toxicities with chemotherapeutic agents; the safety and preliminary antitumor activity observed in previous trial with doxorubicin; and the objective response rate (RR) registered in a phase II trial in previously treated ovarian cancer patients seems justified to evaluate in a randomized phase II trial the efficacy of NGR-hTNF against a doxorubicin-based option in advanced ovarian cancer patients progressing or recurrent after a standard platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy.

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.
