NCT01666444

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the overall survival of patients treated with VTX-2337 + pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) versus those treated with PLD alone in women with recurrent or persistent, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. VTX-2337, a small molecule agonist of Toll-like Receptor 8 (TLR8), activates multiple components of the innate immune system and is being developed as a novel therapeutic agent for use in oncology. Experimental data obtained in an animal model of ovarian cancer supports the combination of VTX-2337 with PLD. In this model, the combination of VTX-2337 and PLD resulted in a significant reduction in tumor growth compared to either agent alone and an increase in the number of T lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor. The combination of PLD and VTX-2337 has been tested in a small number of women with ovarian cancer in a Phase 1b study and appears to be generally well-tolerated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival

    Comparison of duration of survival between the 2 treatment groups

    Survival is measured from date of enrollment and randomization on the study until death from any cause, or if alive at last contact, date of last contact.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival is measured from enrollment and randomization on the study until first indication of progression based on irRECIST criteria or death from any cause, or if progression-free at last contact, the date of last disease assessment.

  • Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs)

    Assessed during each cycle of therapy and within 30 days after the last cycle of therapy

Study Arms (2)

PLD 40 mg/m2 plus VTX-2337

EXPERIMENTAL

The dosing schedule will be be based on a 28-day cycle. The starting dose schedule is PLD on Day 1 plus VTX-2337 on Day 3, Day 10, and Day 17 for the first 4 cycles. Starting with cycle 5, the dose regimen will be PLD on Day 1 plus VTX-2337 on Day 3 only, without additional doses of VTX-2337 on Days 10 and Day 17.

Drug: pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD)Drug: VTX-2337

PLD 40 mg/m2 plus placebo

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The dosing schedule will be based on a 28-day cycle. The starting dose schedule is PLD on Day 1 plus placebo on Day 3, Day 10, and Day 17 for the first 4 cycles. Starting with cycle 5, the dose regimen will be PLD on Day 1 plus placebo on Day 3 only.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

  • Patient must have measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1.
  • Patients must have received treatment with a 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, non-cytotoxic agents 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.

  • Patients must have platinum-resistant disease, defined as having a platinum-free interval (PFI) of \< 12 months after first- or second-line platinum-based chemotherapy, or having disease progression while receiving second-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • Patients must have adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic, and neurologic functions as defined by the following:
  • Bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3. This ANC cannot have been induced or supported by granulocyte colony stimulating factors. Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL.
