NCT00979992

Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects of sunitinib malate and how well it works in treating patients with ovarian cancer that is persistent or has come back. Sunitinib malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Objective Tumor Response Rate (Complete and Partial Response)

    Complete and Partial Tumor Response by RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 defines complete response as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm and the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Only those patients who have measurable disease present at baseline, have received at least one cycle of therapy, and have had their disease re-evaluated will be considered evaluable for response. These patients will have their response classified according to the definitions stated above. Complete and partial responses are included in the objective tumor response rate.

    CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months x 2; then every 6 months thereafter until disease progression for up to 5 years.

  • The Percentage of Patients Who Survive Progression Free for at Least 6 Months

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the period from study entry until disease progression, death, or the last date of contact. Progression was based on RECIST 1.1. RECIST 1.1 defines progressive disease as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions is also considered progression.

    CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall Survival

    Every cycle during treatment, then every 3 months for the first 2 years, then every six months for the next three years and then annually, for a total duration of 8.25 years

  • Progression-free Survival

    Tumor scans were done every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months x 2; then every 6 months thereafter for up to 5 years.

  • Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events

    Assessed every cycle while on treatment, 30 days after the last cycle of treatment, and up to 5 years in follow-up.

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Pro-angiogenic Protein Levels

    Baseline to up to 5 years

  • Changes in Serum and Plasma Angiogenesis Markers by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays

    Baseline to up to 5 years

Study Arms (1)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have recurrent or persistent clear cell ovarian cancer; primary tumors must be at least 50% clear cell histomorphology in order to be eligible or have a histologically documented recurrence with at least 50% clear cell histomorphology; in addition, the tumors should be negative for expression of Wilms tumor (WT)-1 antigen and estrogen receptor (ER) antigen by immunohistochemistry; appropriate tissue sections must be available for histologic evaluation for central pathology review by Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG); immunohistochemical stained slides for ER and WT-1 antigen must be available for review by GOG
  • If the primary tumor had at least 50% clear cell histomorphology, a biopsy of the recurrent or persistent tumor is not required; however, immunohistochemical studies of the primary tumor for ER and WT-1 antigens should be performed and the slides submitted to the GOG for review; the percentage of clear cell histomorphology must be documented in the pathology report or in an addendum to the original report; if slides of the primary tumor are not available for review due to disposal of slides by the histology laboratory (typically 10 years after diagnosis), biopsy of recurrent or persistent disease is required
  • If the primary tumor had less than 50% clear cell histomorphology (or if slides of the primary tumor are not available for review), a biopsy of the recurrent or persistent tumor is required to confirm at least 50% clear cell histomorphology and lack of immunoreactivity for ER and WT-1 antigens by immunohistochemistry; the percentage of involvement must be documented in the pathology report or in an addendum to the original report
  • All patients must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1; measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be \>= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or \>= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be \>= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
  • Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy; thus, a confirmed biopsy in an irradiated area at a date longer than 90 days post-completion of radiation can be considered a target lesion to assess progression and response
  • Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound; this initial treatment may have included intraperitoneal therapy, consolidation, or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment
  • Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following definition:
  • Cytotoxic regimens include any agent that targets the genetic and/or mitotic apparatus of dividing cells, resulting in dose-limiting toxicity to the bone marrow and/or gastrointestinal mucosa
  • Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based regimen for management of primary disease) must have a platinum-free interval of less than 12 months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease after a platinum-based therapy
  • Patients may have received prior biologic therapy, but must not have had any prior therapy with agents which inhibit VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) or PDGF such as, bevacizumab, sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, brivanib, aflibercept cediranib, BIBF 1120, imatinib, dasatinib
  • Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including immunologic agents (e.g. tamoxifen) must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration
  • Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority (e.g.; Phase III), GOG protocol for the same population if one exists
  • Patients must be recovered from effects of recent surgery (28 days must elapse between surgery and the start of treatment with sunitinib malate)
  • Patents must have \>= 4 weeks since prior chemotherapy or radiation (\>= 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C)
  • Sunitinib metabolizes via liver enzyme, specifically the cytochrome P450 family 3, subfamily A, polypeptide 4 (CYP3A4) enzyme; therefore, potential drug interaction with the CYP3A4 enzyme can occur; eligible patients who are on the CYP3A4 inducer or inhibitor enzyme should stop 2 weeks prior to study entry if all other eligibility has been confirmed; the principal investigator will review the case and make all effort to switch such agent to other medication
  • +9 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Primary peritoneal or fallopian tube primaries are not eligible
  • Patients with serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture
  • Patients with active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding, such as known bleeding disorder, coagulopathy, or tumor involving major vessels
  • Patients with history or evidence upon physical examination of central nervous system (CNS) disease, including primary brain tumor, seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, any brain metastases, or history of cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke), transient ischemic attack (TIA) or subarachnoid hemorrhage within 6months of the first date of treatment on this study
  • Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease; this includes:
  • Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure of \>= 140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure of \>= 90 mm Hg) are ineligible
  • Myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months prior to registration
  • New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure
  • Cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication
  • Grade II or greater peripheral vascular disease based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI CTC); e.g. ischemic rest pain, minor tissue loss, and ulceration or gangrene
  • Patients with QTc prolongation (\> 500 msec) are excluded
  • Patients who require use of therapeutic doses of Coumadin-derivative anticoagulants such as warfarin are ineligible, although doses of up to 2 mg daily are permitted for prophylaxis of thrombosis; low molecular weight heparin is permitted provided patient's prothrombin time (PT) international normalized ratio (INR) is =\< 1.5
  • Patients with clinically significant peripheral artery disease, e.g., those with claudication, within 6 months
  • Patients with a pre-existing thyroid abnormality who are unable to maintain thyroid function in the normal range with medication are ineligible; patients with a history of hypothyroidism are eligible provided they are currently euthyroid
  • Patients whose circumstances do not permit completion of the study or the required follow-up
  • +4 more criteria
