Docetaxel, Trabectedin, and G-CSF or Pegfilgrastim in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Persistent Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

June 21, 2018 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

A Phase II Evaluation of Docetaxel (NSC #628503) Plus Trabectedin (Yondelis®), R279741, IND # 101018) With Growth Factor Support in the Third-Line Treatment of Recurrent or Persistent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF and pegfilgrastim, may help the immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. Giving combination chemotherapy together with G-CSF or pegfilgrastim may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving docetaxel and trabectedin together with G-CSF or pegfilgrastim works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To estimate the antitumor activity of docetaxel plus trabectedin in patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer primarily through the frequency of objective tumor responses.
  • To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of docetaxel plus trabectedin in this cohort of patients.

Secondary

  • To estimate the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with docetaxel and trabectedin.

OUTLINE: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and trabectedin IV over 3 hours on day 1. Patients also receive pegfilgrastim subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 OR filgrastim (G-CSF) IV over 15-30 minutes or SC once daily beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Tumor Response
Time Frame: every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months thereafter (up to 5 years)

Response is measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v 1.0):

Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no evidence of new lesions documented by two disease assessments at least 4 weeks apart.

Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD.

Disease Progression is at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as references the smallest sum LD or the appearance of new lesions within 8 weeks of study entry.

Stable Disease is any condition not meeting the above criteria.

Indeterminate is defined as having no repeat tumor assessments following initiation of study therapy6

every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months thereafter (up to 5 years)

Time Frame: Prior to each cycle and 30 days after the last cycle (average of 5 months)
Prior to each cycle and 30 days after the last cycle (average of 5 months)
