S0904, NCT00872989

Objectives

  1. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of docetaxel and vandetanib relative to docetaxel alone in patients with platinum-resistant, recurrent, refractory, or progressive/persistent ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, as measured by progression-free survival.
  2. To evaluate the response rate (complete and partial) and duration of overall survival of these patients.
  3. To evaluate the response (complete and partial) and time to treatment failure after treatment with single agent vandetanib following progression on single agent docetaxel.
  4. To evaluate the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.
  5. To evaluate the toxicity of single agent vandetanib following docetaxel as assessed by CTCAE v4.0.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma
    • Recurrent, refractory, or progressive/persistent disease

      • High-dose therapy
      • Consolidation therapy

  • No more than 3 prior regimens for recurrent, refractory, persistent, or progressive disease.

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics

    • Treatment with other anti-VEGF targeted therapy allowed
  • No prior docetaxel or any non-cytotoxic therapy (excluding hormonal therapy) for recurrent disease, regardless of whether it was part of primary treatment
    • Prior docetaxel as part of front-line cytotoxic regimen (including maintenance therapy) allowed as long as no disease progression on or within 6 months after receiving docetaxel
  • At least 7 days since prior hormonal therapy for the malignant tumor
    • Concurrent hormone replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms allowed
  • At least 28 days since other prior therapy for the malignant tumor, including immunologic agents
  • More than 7 days since prior minor surgical procedures, fine needle aspirates, or core biopsies
  • More than 14 days since prior and no concurrent potent inducers of CYP3A4 function
  • More than 14 days since prior and no concurrent medications having a risk of causing Torsades de Pointes or risk of QTc prolongation
    • Patients receiving a drug that has a risk of QTc prolongation must not have QTc ≥ 460 msec
  • More than 28 days since prior investigational agents for any purpose
  • More than 28 days since prior and no concurrent major surgical procedure or open biopsy
  • More than 5 years since prior chemotherapy for abdominal or pelvic tumor, except treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
    • Prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer allowed, provided it was completed more than 3 years prior to study, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
  • More than 5 years since prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis, except for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
    • Prior radiotherapy for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin allowed, provided it was completed more than 3 years prior to study, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
    • No prior radiation to more than 25% of marrow-bearing areas
      • More than 28 days since prior radiotherapy
  • No other concurrent investigational or commercial agents

Outline

Patients are stratified according to prior treatment with antiangiogenesis agents (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who progress also receive oral vandetanib once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of a second disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

  • Arm II: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and oral vandetanib once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 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.
