NCT00016289

Brief Summary

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of intraperitoneal interleukin-12 in treating patients who have ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. Interleukin-12 may kill tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by stimulating a person's white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving interleukin-12 directly into the peritoneal cavity may kill cancer cells

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Rate of remission determined by laparoscopy or laparotomy

    Tested using an exact test for a single binomial proportion

    Up to 2 years

  • Toxicity graded using the NCI CTC version 3.0

    Evaluated for each dose level and each course of therapy.

    Up to 2 years

  • Progression-free interval

    Up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (recombinant interleukin-12)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive interleukin-12 intraperitoneally once weekly. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responding disease receive 2 additional courses.

Biological: recombinant interleukin-12

Interventions

Given intraperitoneally

Also known as: cytotoxic lymphocyte maturation factor, IL-12, interleukin-12, natural killer cell stimulatory factor, Ro 24-7472
Treatment (recombinant interleukin-12)
