Using Genetic Profile to Determine the Treatment for Patients With Ovarian Cancer Who Previously Received a PARP-inhibitor

Re-VOLVE: A Phase II Clinical Trial in Women With Ovarian Cancer Progressing Post-PARP Inhibitor With Treatment Adapted to Real-time Assessment of Evolving Genomic Resistance

The purpose of this research study is to see how useful it is to look at biomarkers in the blood and tumor tissue of participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have previously received treatment with a drug called a PARP inhibitor, and using the results to determine the best treatment for these participants. Biomarkers are molecules such as genes (molecules that contain instructions for the development and function of cells in the body) and proteins that may be used to see how well a body responds to certain treatments.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Ovarian Cancer; Fallopian Tube Cancer; Primary Peritoneal Cancer; High Grade Serous Cancer; High Grade Endometrioid Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Niraparib; Drug: Bevacizumab; Drug: Dostarlimab; Drug: Paclitaxel

Detailed Description

Participants who join the study will first have samples of their blood and tumor tissue collected for biomarker testing. The testing will involve a method called "sequencing". This test will look for changes in the genes of your tumor. The results of the testing will be what is called the participant's molecular profile.

All participants will first receive bevacizumab and niraparib for 3 cycles. A cycle will be 21-days in length.

Once the participant's molecular profile has been determined, the study doctor will discuss the results with the participants and they may be referred to a genetic counsellor.

Participants will then be assigned to a study cohort (group) and receive a combination of the study drugs based on the results of their genetic testing:

• Cohort A: Participants who do not have the required gene changes will be assigned to receive niraparib, bevacizumab, and dostarlimab
• Cohort B: Participants who have certain gene changes will receive paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and dostarlimab.
• Cohort C: If the participant and the study doctor think that the participant is benefitting from the combination of bevacizumab and niraparib, or the molecular profile shows that bevacizumab and niraparib is the most suitable, the participant may continue to receive this drug combination.

Participants will receive the study drug combination until disease worsening or they meet the criteria for discontinuation.

• Mean QTc >470 msec in screening electrocardiograms within 7 days of registration or history of familial long QT syndrome.
• Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled diseases such as but not limited to unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, renal disease or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

• Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years.
• History of interstitial lung disease.
• Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Initial/Cohort C; Niraparib by mouth (orally), once a day, every day. Bevacizumab, by vein (intravenously), once every 3 weeks for up to 1 year, then every 6 weeks.	Drug: Niraparib; Niraparib works by blocking poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) 1 and PARP 2 from working. PARP 1 and PARP 2 are proteins that are involved in cell growth, cell survival, and cell death, including cancer cells. It is believed that blocking PARP1 and PARP 2 from working will slow or stop the growth of cancer cells.; Other Names: ZEJULA; Drug: Bevacizumab; Bevacizumab is a chemotherapy drug commonly used for the treatment of various cancers.
Experimental: Cohort A; Niraparib by mouth (orally), once a day, every day. Bevacizumab, by vein (intravenously), once every 3 weeks for up to 1 year, then every 6 weeks.
