Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical study is to confirm the utility of chemosensitivity (ChemoID) tumor testing on cancer stem cells as a predictor of clinical response in recurrent platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Population studied will be female participants experiencing a recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (no mucinous, low grade serous, or pure sarcoma types), with ≤ 5 prior treatments, and a performance status 0-1.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed as a parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial to determine if recurrent platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients treated with chemotherapy predicted by the ChemoID assay will have better outcomes than patients treated with standard-of-care control therapy chosen by the physician.

Upon obtaining informed consent, all eligible participants affected by recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (no mucinous, low grade serous, or pure sarcoma types), with ≤ 5 prior treatments, and a performance status 0-1 will have a tumor biopsy or a cancer-positive fluid collection sample to undergo ChemoID drug response testing with multiple FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents.

Eligible participants will be randomized to a standard treatment arm with control treatment (chemotherapy chosen by the Physician from a provided list), or to a study arm of FDA-approved drugs selected by the ChemoID drug response assay.

A stratified randomization approach for treatment arm assignment will be used with strata based on number of prior platinum treatments and BRCA status to ensure balance within these cells.

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Study investigators will be kept blind to the schedule. All participants will be screened by the ChemoID drug response assay; however, the treating physician will receive the ChemoID results only for those participants who are randomized to receive ChemoID-guided treatment arm.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physician Choice Treatment

Participants will be treated with control chemotherapy treatment (standard-of-care chemotherapy chosen by the physician from the provided list).

Control chemotherapy treatment will be chosen from any of the following standard-of-care chemotherapy drugs or combinations:

* Liposomal Doxorubicin;
* Docetaxel;
* Paclitaxel;
* Carboplatin;
* Cisplatin;
* Gemcitabine;

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

ChemoID Assay

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The ChemoID test is a CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited drug response assay performed by a hospital clinical pathology laboratory that uses patient's live tumor cells to indicate which chemotherapy agent (or combinations) will kill bulk of tumor cells, and cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are known to cause cancer to recur. During the assay, cancer stem cells and bulk tumor cells from an individual patient are exposed to FDA-approved chemotherapy drugs.

The test measures the cytotoxic effect of actual doses of standard-of-care chemotherapies. The ChemoID drug response assay reports a prioritized list of effective and ineffective chemotherapies. The test is designed to target cancer stem cells to mitigate tumor relapse.

Standard Chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Control chemotherapy treatment will be chosen from any of the following standard-of-care chemotherapy drugs or combinations:

The treating physician will NOT receive the ChemoID assay results from the ChemoID lab.

ChemoID-guided treatment

Participants will be treated with ChemoID-guided standard-of-care chemotherapy drugs from the provided list.

ChemoID-guided treatment will be chosen from the following standard-of-care chemotherapy drugs or combinations:

* Liposomal Doxorubicin;
* Docetaxel;
