Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II: Pembrolizumab/Carboplatin/Taxol in Epithelial Ovary Cancer (NCT NCT02766582)

NCT ID: NCT02766582

Last Updated: 2024-02-26

Results Overview

Time to progression free survival (PFS) is the period from study entry (first dose of therapy) until disease progression, death or date of last contact. All patients underwent baseline computed tomographic scans prior to initiation of therapy. The residual disease information was collected from surgical operative reports as well as post operative CT scans. Treatment responses were assessed with CA 125 at each cycle of therapy. CT scans were performed post-operatively prior to initiation of systemic therapy, at the completion of combination platinum, taxane, and pembrolizumab therapy, and at the completion of maintenance pembrolizumab therapy. CT scans were also performed with increasing CA 125 or if clinically indicated per treating physician and assessments were made using response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) criteria defined as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or measurable increase in non-target l

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time of enrollment until 18 months from initiation of therapy

Each cycle is 21 days. All participants were asked to complete FACT-O surveys at baseline/ time of enrollment, at 3 months, 6 months and 18 months from initiation of therapy. FACT-O is a validated 26-item summary score 112 points that captures the FACT-General (FACT-G) QOL dimensions of Physical Well-Being (7 items), Functional Well-Being (7 items), and an Ovarian Cancer Subscale (12 items). FACT-0 is a survey with 39 items self administered survey. Each item is scored on 5 point Likert-type scale. The FACT-0 scoring range is from 0-44. The subscale scoring ranges for FACT-G is 0-108. The higher the total score the better the patient well-being. the outcome measure data represent FACT-G scoring as it is the section that pertains to QOL. https://www.facit.org/measures/FACT-O
