A Study of Belinostat + Carboplatin or Paclitaxel or Both in Patients With Ovarian Cancer in Need of Relapse Treatment

July 7, 2015 updated by: Onxeo

A Phase I/II Safety, Pharmacodynamic, and Pharmacokinetic Study of Intravenously Administered PXD101 Plus Carboplatin or Paclitaxel or Both in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours

The study seeks to assess the safety, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of belinostat (PXD101) administered in combination with carboplatin or paclitaxel or both in patients with solid tumours followed by maximum tolerated dose (MTD) expansion (phase II) in ovarian and bladder cancer patients

The clinical trial is now in the MTD (phase II) portion of the study enrolling bladder cancer patients. Enrollment of ovarian patients is complete.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

MTD Expansion I(Phase II): A total of 18-32 patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or mixed mullerian tumours of ovarian origin, in need of relapse treatment will be enrolled.

MTD Expansion II (phase II): A total of 15 patients with urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma of the bladder will be enrolled.

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed consent of an IRB (Institutional Review Board) approved consent form.

  6. Acceptable liver, renal and bone marrow function including the following:

    1. Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN (upper limit of normal).
    2. AST/SGOT ([Aspartate Amino Transferase/Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase]), ALT/SGPT ([Alanine Amino Transferase/Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase]) and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 times ULN (if liver metastases are present, then ≤ 5 x ULN is allowed).

    5. Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL or > 5.6 mmol/L.

  8. A negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential. For men and women of child-producing potential, the use of effective contraceptive methods during the study is required.
  9. Serum potassium within normal range (added in protocol Global version 3.0) Additional Eligibility Criteria at the MTD Expansion only
  10. Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in need of relapse treatment. Changed with protocol Global version 3 to: Patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or mixed mullerian tumors of ovarian origin in need of relapse treatment.

    Or

  11. Patients with urothelial (transitional cell) carcinoma of the bladder who have received up to a maximum of 3 previous chemotherapy regimens in the advanced disease setting (neoadjuvant chemotherapy is not included in the total of chemotherapy regimens), applies only for patients enrolled in Part D.
  12. At least one uni-dimensional measurable lesion. Lesions must be measured by CT scan or MRI according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)(Added with protocol Global version 4).

    Eligibility Criteria for the Site Specific Amendment (Part C) - Advanced solid tumors only

  13. Patients with refractory solid tumors other than ovarian cancer.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Treatment with investigational agents within the last 4 weeks.
  2. Prior anticancer therapy within the last 3 weeks of study dosing including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy or use of other investigational agents.
