Fenretinide/LXS Oral Powder Plus Ketoconazole in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

August 25, 2020 updated by: South Plains Oncology Consortium

Phase I/II Trial of Fenretinide/LXS Oral Powder (NSC 374551) Plus Ketoconazole in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this study, an initial Phase I component of six patients will be conducted to monitor for potential toxicities as this wil be the initial adult experience of fenretinide (4-HPR) given together with ketoconazole

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase 2: Progression Free Survival
Time Frame: From date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
From date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)
Phase 2: Overall Survival
Time Frame: From enrollment up to first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered treatment)
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
From enrollment up to first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered treatment)
Phase 1: To determine the systemic toxicity profile of 4-HPR/LXS oral powder + ketoconazole
Time Frame: From time of first dose to the last (average 6 months)
Toxicity information recorded will include the type, severity, time of onset, time of resolution, and the probable association with the study regimen.
From time of first dose to the last (average 6 months)
Phase 2: Event Free Survival
Time Frame: From enrollment up to the first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered on treatment)
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
From enrollment up to the first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered on treatment)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
Pharmacokinetics -
