LDFWART With Docetaxel in Patients With Platinum-Resistant Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma

August 9, 2016 updated by: Aaron Wolfson, University of Miami

A Phase I Study Using Low-Dose Fractionated Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy (LDFWART) As A Docetaxel Chemo-Potentiator for Patients With Platinum-Resistant Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma

The ultimate clinical aim of this proposed phase I trial is to evaluate the toxicity and determine the recommended phase II dose of combining the effect of LDFWART following administration of docetaxel for 6 cycles in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Interventional

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.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to the chest, whole abdomen, or lower extremities above the knees.
  • 2. Patients who have received prior radiation therapy to the head, neck, or lower extremities below the knees if greater than 3 years prior to study entry.
  • 3. Evidence of extra-abdominal extension of disease (such as groin nodes, lung, supraclavicular nodes, and pleural fluid).
  • 4. Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment) or chemotherapy for at least 3 weeks preceding the start of study treatment.
  • 5. Patients who have been diagnosed with another prior malignant tumor within 3 years of study entry, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • 6. Patients with prior history of a severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel (polysorbate 80-Cremophor).
  • 7. Patients with current history of uncontrolled hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy, or active infection.
  • 8. Presence of any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator deems the patient unable to participate.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: LDFWART + Docetaxel
This study has 6 treatment cycles given at 3 weeks intervals ± 3 days. A cycle is defined as 1 treatment of morning Docetaxel and afternoon Low Dose Fractionated Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy (LDFWART). The first day of the first treatment is designated "study day 1".
Radiation: Low Dose Fractionated Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy
A single fraction of LDFWART will be given 6-8 hours after the start of morning administration of Docetaxel for 6 cycles (the time of the start Docetaxel will be counted as the frame of reference for when the LDFWART can be given).
Other Names:
  • LDFWART
Drug: Docetaxel
Chemotherapy will consist of 6 cycles of Docetaxel. Each cycle will follow standard of care and will be scheduled every 3 weeks ± 3 days. Chemotherapy should be administered in the morning to allow 6-8 hours before Radiation Therapy. On Day 1 of each cycle, chemotherapy will consist of Docetaxel 60 mg/m² infused intravenously over 30-60 minutes (with premedication of dexamethasone 10 mg given IV 30-60 minutes prior to docetaxel administration).
Other Names:
  • Taxotere
