Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vorinostat, Carboplatin and Gemcitabine in Women With Recurrent, Platinum-Sensitive Ovarian Cancer (NCT NCT00910000)

NCT ID: NCT00910000

Last Updated: 2018-09-10

Results Overview

The Vorinostat MTD is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience a DLT. If no DLTs are observed, the MTD is not reached.

Recruitment status

Participant Flow

15 participants were enrolled and treated between July 2009 and January 2013. One patient excluded from all analyses failed screening after consent because of elevated liver function tests and did not receive treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The DLT observation period in determining the MTD was the 21-day cycle 1 length.

Population: Per protocol, MTD evaluable participants received day 1 of treatment, were not taken off study during cycle 1 due to disease progression, showed proof via pill diary that all doses of vorinostat were taken or attempted to be taken and were compliant with study procedures. The final MTD dataset was comprised of all enrolled and treated participants.

The Vorinostat MTD is determined by the number of patients who experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). See subsequent primary outcome measure for the DLT definition. The MTD is defined as the highest dose at which fewer than one-third of patients experience a DLT. If no DLTs are observed, the MTD is not reached.

Vorinostat Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) [Phase Ib]
NA mg/day
Protocol was amended to add reduced V. total dose when 2 of 3 participants in DL 2A, 1B \& 1C experienced DLTs. MTD was not reached w/ the study term early due to safety concerns when the first patient in the dose level cohort 2D experienced a DLT.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: The DLT observation period in determining the MTD was the 21-day cycle 1 length.

Population: Per protocol, DLT evaluable participants received day 1 of treatment, were not taken off study during cycle 1 due to disease progression, showed proof via pill diary that all doses of vorinostat were taken or attempted to be taken and were compliant with study procedures. The final DLT dataset was comprised of all enrolled and treated participants.

Dose-limiting toxicity was based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) and defined as any of the following: 1. Any CTCAE grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic event except manageable gastrointestinal toxicity and fatigue. 2. Any of the following hematologic events (excluding neutropenia lasting \< 5 days): i) febrile neutropenia defined as grade 3-4 neutropenia with fever ≥ 38.5°C and/or infection. ii) any grade 4 neutropenia lasting 5 days or more. iii) grade 4 thrombocytopenia (plt count \< 25x 109/L) iv) failure of ANC to recover to ≥ 1000/μL or platelets to recover to ≥ 50,000/μL within 14 days of therapy v) grade 4 anemia 3. Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory value that results in dose delay of \>14 days. 4. \<75% of vorinostat dosing taken by the patient during the first cycle due to any toxicity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Disease was assessed radiographically (CT or MRI scan) every 2 cycles on treatment; Phase Ib participants received up to 8 cycles of treatment. The median number of cycles started was 2 (range 1-8).

Response was based on RECIST 1.0 criteria. Per RECIST 1.0 for target lesions, complete response (CR) is complete disappearance of all target lesions and partial response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. Progressive disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in sum LD from the smallest LD recorded on treatment. Stable disease (SD) is neither sufficient increase to qualify as PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. For CR or PR, changes in tumor measurements must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed 4 weeks +/- 2 weeks after the response criteria are first met. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions. Participants who received therapy but did not have their disease re-evaluated were considered unevaluable.
