Safety Study of Farletuzumab, Carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) to Treat Platinum-sensitive Ovarian Cancer

July 15, 2014 updated by: Morphotek

A Phase I Safety Study of Farletuzumab (MORAb-003), Carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) in Subjects With Platinum-sensitive Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combination therapy with farletuzumab (MORAb-003), carboplatin, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is safe.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Farletuzumab (MORAb-003) is a monoclonal antibody that has the potential to be an effective agent against epithelial ovarian cancer (including primary fallopian tube and peritoneal adenocarcinoma) in combination with other drugs. Farletuzumab works by a different mechanism from other cancer therapeutics and has been shown to be well tolerated. This study allows the opportunity to determine if the combination therapy of farletuzumab, carboplatin, and PLD

  1. is safe, or
  2. to assess the potential drug-drug interaction, and
  3. to prolong response to chemotherapy.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer
  • Must have measurable disease by CT or MRI scan
  • Must have relapsed as defined by CA-125 or radiologically within 6 months or more of completion of first- or second-line platinum chemotherapy

  • Subjects who have received other therapy to treat their ovarian cancer since last relapse
  • Known central nervous system tumor involvement
  • Evidence of other active invasive malignancy
  • Clinically significant heart disease
  • Known allergic reaction to a prior monoclonal antibody therapy or have any documented HAHA
  • Previous treatment with MORAb 003 (farletuzumab)
  • Previous treatment with anthracyclines
  • Clinical contraindications to use PLD

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Farletuzumab
2.5 mg/kg once weekly administered i.v. during the Combination treatment period and 7.5 mg/kg Q3W administered i.v. during the Maintenance period
All subjects will receive approximately 6 cycles with carboplatin (AUC5-6) i.v. and PLD (30 mg/m2) i.v. on Day 1 of every 4-week Combination treatment cycle. In addition, subjects will also receive weekly farletuzumab at 2.5 mg/kg administered i.v. Following completion of the Combination treatment period (carboplatin/PLD/farletuzumab therapy),maintenance treatment with single agent farletuzumab will be administered once Q3W at 7.5 mg/kg until disease progression as defined by GCIG CA-125 (i.e., CA-125 is less than or equal to 2 × (ULN) documented on 2 occasions) or modified RECIST v.1.0 using CT or MRI.
Other Names:
  • Carboplatin
  • PLD
  • Farletuzumab (MORAb-003)
