A Phase II Evaluation of Dasatinib (Sprycel®, NSC #732517) in the Treatment of Persistent or Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well dasatinib works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Recurrent Fallopian Tube Carcinoma; Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma; Recurrent Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis; Drug: Dasatinib

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months and the proportion of patients who have objective tumor response (complete or partial) in patients with persistent or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v3.0.

II. To determine the duration of progression-free survival and overall survival.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Objectives in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue before treatment with dasatinib.

II. Explore the association between the expression and phosphorylation of biomarkers involved in Src signaling pathways and measures of clinical outcome as well as disease status.

III. Bank residual FFPE tumor tissue for the development and characterization of predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers or the validation of thereapeutic targets.

IV. Objectives in blood drawn before and/or during treatment with dasatinib. V. Isolate, enumerate and characterize circulating tumor cells (CTC) as well as circulating endothelial cells (CEC)/circulating endothelial precursors (CEP).

VI. Prepare a buffy-coat specimen from residual blood remaining after isolation of CTC and CEC/CEP.

VII. Explore whether CTC and CEC/CEP counts or characteristics are associated with measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

VIII. Explore whether the expression and phosphorylation of biomarkers involved in Src signaling pathways in CTC and CEC/CEP are associated with measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

IX. Explore the associations between germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in drug metabolism, resistance and DNA repair and measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

X. Bank residual DNA and buffy-coat specimens for the development and characterization of predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers or the validation of therapeutic targets.

XI. Objectives in plasma prepared from blood drawn before and/or during treatment with dasatinib.

XII. Explore the association between angiogenic markers and cytokines including VEGF and measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

XIII. Explore the association between measures of cell-free DNA and measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

XIV. Bank residual plasma for the development and characterization of predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers or the validation of therapeutic targets.

• Patients cannot take St. John's Wort or drink grapefruit juice while on study treatment (discontinue St. John's Wort at least five days before starting dasatinib)
• Patients receiving IV bisphosphonates agree that IV bisphosphonates will be withheld for the first 8 weeks of dasatinib therapy due to risk of hypocalcemia, and may be restarted only if any hypocalcemia has been corrected

• Patients who have a history of cardiac disease:

  • Uncontrolled angina, congestive heart failure (CHF) or myocardial infarction (MI) within six months prior to study entry;
  • Diagnosed congenital long QT syndrome;
  • Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia [VT], ventricular fibrillation [VF], or Torsades de pointes)

• The concomitant use of H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with dasatinib is not recommended (e.g., famotidine, omeprazole); the use of antacids should be considered in place of H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors in patients receiving dasatinib therapy; if antacid therapy is needed, the antacid dose should be administered two hours before or after the dose of dasatinib
• Therapeutic anticoagulation is not contraindicated, but for those patients on therapeutic anticoagulation, alteration in coagulation parameters is expected following initiation of dasatinib. For patients on therapeutic anticoagulation, coagulation parameters should be assessed weekly for the first cycle following initiation of dasatinib, weekly for the first cycle following a dose reduction, and weekly for a minimum of two weeks after stopping dasatinib.

Warfarin is permitted for prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis

• Note: Low molecular weight heparin is permitted provided the patient's PT/INR is =< 1.5; for patients on anticoagulation, coagulation parameters should be assessed weekly for the first cycle following initiation of dasatinib, weekly for the first cycle following a dose reduction, and weekly for a minimum of two weeks after stopping dasatinib

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-free Survival at 6 Months	Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since study entry, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or the appearance of one or more new lesions. CT scan or MRI is used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; every three months thereafter; and at any time if clinically indicated based on symptoms or physical signs suggestive of progressive disease or rising serum tumor marker levels. Responses must be confirmed by repeat imaging 4 weeks following documentation of response.	Scans to assess progression were done every other cycle for the first 6 months; every three months thereafter; and any time if clinically indicated based on symptoms or physical signs suggestive of progressive disease.
Tumor Response	Complete and Partial Tumor Response by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0). Per RECIST v1.0 for target lesions and assessed by MRIor CT scan: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of all target measurable lesions taking as reference the baseline sum of LD. CT scan or MRI is used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; every three months thereafter; and at any time if clinically indicated based on symptoms or physical signs suggestive of progressive disease or rising serum tumor marker levels.
