Brief Summary

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.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Patients must have recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma; histologic documentation of the original primary tumor is required via the pathology report

• Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy
• Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority GOG protocol, if one exists; in general, this would refer to any active GOG Phase III protocol for the same patient population

• Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy

• Patients should be free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated UTI).
• Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration; continuation of hormone replacement therapy is permitted
• Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration; six weeks for patient previously treated with monoclonal antibodies
• Prior therapy

• Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound; this initial treatment may have included intraperitoneal therapy, high-dose therapy, consolidation, non-cytotoxic agents or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment
• Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following definition:

• Cytotoxic regimens include any agent that targets the genetic and/or mitotic apparatus of dividing cells, resulting in dose-limiting toxicity to the bone marrow and/or gastrointestinal mucosa
• Note: patients on this non-cytotoxic study are allowed to receive additional cytotoxic chemotherapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease, as defined above
• Patients must have NOT received any non-cytotoxic therapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease; patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, biologic (non-cytotoxic) therapy as part of their primary treatment regimen
• Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based regimen for management of primary disease), must have a platinum-free interval of less than 12 months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease after a platinum-based therapy
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl, equivalent to CTCAE v 3.0 grade 1
• Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcl

• 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;

• 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
