Objectives

  1. Determine the response rate, time to progression, and survival in patients with advanced ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer treated with cisplatin and flavopiridol.
  2. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer
    • Advanced disease


  • Meets at least 1 of the following criteria:
    • Measurable disease
    • Evaluable disease plus CA 125 ≥ 2 times post-treatment nadir


  • Treated with 1, and only 1, prior platin-containing chemotherapy regimen (e.g., paclitaxel or carboplatin-based) for ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer
    • Prior treatment with the same regimen at first relapse allowed
    • No more than 3 total chemotherapy regimens allowed provided exactly 1 has been platin-containing
    • Must also have platin-resistant disease as defined for Group 1
    • Rechallenge with a single regimen upon progression after a hiatus from therapy counts as a single regimen


  • Group 1, meeting 1 of the following criteria:
    • Patients who relapse during or < 6 months after completion of post-debulking chemotherapy
    • "Platinum sensitive" patients in second relapse after having been treated/rechallenged with their initial regimen upon first relapse


  • Group 2 (Closed to accrual as of 3/10/06)
    • Patients who relapse ≥ 6 months after completion of post-debulking chemotherapy and are not retreated with the same or a different regimen


  • No CNS metastases

Expected Enrollment

79

A total of 38-79 patients (20-42 for group 1 and 18-37 for group 2 [Closed to accrual as of 3/10/06]) will be accrued for this study within 7-14 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Tumor response (complete or partial) on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 4-6 weeks apart

Secondary Outcome(s)

Overall survival
Time to progression

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are accrued to two separate groups (Group 2 closed to accrual as of 3/10/06).

  • Group 1
    • Patients receive cisplatin IV over 30 minutes and flavopiridol IV over 24 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Group 2
    • Patients receive cisplatin IV over 30 minutes and flavopiridol IV over 24 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


Patients are followed every 3 months for up to 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
