• 2 other identifiers: NGR0182010-023613-61
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 119

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this randomized phase II trial is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients randomized to NGR-hTNF plus an anthracycline versus patients randomized to an anthracycline alone

Conditions

Ovarian Cancer

Keywords

NGR-hTNF; Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin; Doxorubicin; Platinum-resistant; Progression or recurrence Ovarian Cancer; Ovarian Cancer; Advanced or metastatic

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

  Defined as the time from the date of randomization until disease progression, or death

  from the date of randomization, every 6 and 8 weeks based on type of chemotherapy during treatment and every 12 weeks during the follow-up until PD or death

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Overall survival (OS)

  from the date of randomization, every 6 and 8 weeks based on type of chemotherapy during treatment and every 12 weeks during follow-up until death

• Response Rate (RR)

  from the date of randomization, every 6 and 8 weeks based on type of chemotherapy during treatment and every 12 weeks during the follow-up until PD or death

• Disease Control Rate (DCR)

  from the date of randomization, every 6 and 8 weeks based on type of chemotherapy during treatment and every 12 weeks during the follow-up until PD or death

• Duration of Disease Control

  from the date of randomization, every 6 and 8 weeks based on type of chemotherapy during treatment and every 12 weeks during the follow-up until PD or death

• Safety and Toxicity according to NCI-CTCAE criteria (version 4.03)

  from the start of treatment until 28 days after last treatment

• Patients with active or uncontrolled systemic disease/infections or with serious illness or medical conditions, which is incompatible with the protocol
• Known hypersensitivity/allergic reaction to human albumin preparations or to any of the excipients
• Any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol
• Pregnancy or lactation.
