Cabazitaxel in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer After Failure of Standard Therapy. (CaTo-ROC)

October 6, 2020 updated by: Vejle Hospital

Cabazitaxel in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer After Failure of Standard Therapy - A Phase II Trial

Many ovarian cancer patients have been offered different standard cytostatics and gradually develop chemo-resistance. However, a considerable fraction of these patients are still in good general health and have a strong wish for further treatment.

Cabazitaxel (Jevtana®) is a new taxane with effect in breast and prostatic cancer. In both tumors it has shown effect in patients refractory to docetaxel. Therefore, it could be anticipated that cabazitaxel may also have an effect in chemo-resistant ovarian cancer.

The aim of the study is to investigate whether cabazitaxel could be a reasonable treatment option in patients with chemo-resistant and refractory ovarian cancer with regard to effect and toxicity.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Platinum resistant ovarian cancer with at least two previous cytostatic regimens or platinum-refractory disease defined as progression while receiving the last line of platinum based therapy or within 4 weeks of last platinum dose
  • Progression on previous treatment.
  • Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1 or evaluable by GCIG CA-125 criteria
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Performance status 0-2.
  • Adequate bone marrow function, liver function, and renal function (within 7 days prior to inclusion):

    • Neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1.5 * 10^9/l
    • Platelet count ≥ 100 * 10^9/l

    • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.0 * ULN
    • Serum transaminase ≤ 2.5 * ULN
    • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 ULN (at creatinine above 1.5 x ULN measured GFR must be at least 50 ml / min)
  • Remaining life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of severe hypersensitivity reaction (≥grade 3) to taxol.
  • History of severe hypersensitivity reaction (≥grade 3) to polysorbate 80 containing drugs.

  • Other experimental therapy or participation in another clinical trial within 28 days prior to treatment initiation.
  • History of any chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that is not medically controlled or in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risks associated with study drug administration. (e.g. diabetes, cardiac diseases, hypertension, renal, thyroid or liver disease).
