Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) based on Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) assessment using RECIST 1.1 criteria
Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization until the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, based on BIRC assessment. Participants without an event were censored at the date of their last adequate tumor assessment. Clinical deterioration without objective radiologic evidence was not considered disease progression in the primary efficacy analysis.
From randomization until the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to approximately 23 months
Secondary Outcomes (13)
Overall survival
From randomization until death, assessed up to approximately 44 months
Overall Response Rate (ORR) with confirmed response based on BIRC assessment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
Up to approximately 23 months
Clinical benefit rate (CBR) with confirmed response based on BIRC assessment according to RECIST 1.1
Up to approximately 23 months
Time to response (TTR) based on BIRC assessment and according to RECIST 1.1
From the date of randomization to the first documented response, assessed through Month 12
Duration of response (DOR) with confirmed response based on BIRC assessment and according to RECIST 1.1
From first documented response to first documented progression or death, assessed up to approximately 23 months
- +8 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Alpelisib+olaparib
EXPERIMENTALAlpelisib 200 mg orally once daily and olaparib 200 mg orally twice daily on a continuous dosing schedule.
Paclitaxel or PLD
ACTIVE COMPARATORInvestigator's choice of one of 2 single agent cytotoxic chemotherapies: Paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intravenously weekly or Pegylated liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) 40-50 mg/m2 (physician discretion) intravenously every 28 days.
Interventions
PLD will be administered at 40-50 mg/m2 (physician discretion) as an intravenous infusion once every 28-days in a 28 day treatment cycle, starting on Cycle 1 Day 1
Alpelisib will be administered at 200 mg orally once daily following food on a continuous dosing schedule starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 in a 28-day cycle
Olaparib will be administered at 200 mg orally twice daily irrespective of meals on a continuous dosing schedule starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 in a 28-day cycle.
Paclitaxel will be administered at 80 mg/m2 as an intravenous infusion weekly during a 28-day treatment cycle, starting on Cycle 1 Day 1, and on Day 8, Day 15 and Day 22 of every cycle thereafter
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Participant has histologically confirmed diagnosis of high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer
- Measurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 criteria (a lesion at a previously irradiated site may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation)
- If no measurable disease is present, the disease should be assessable by Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup criteria (GCIC) for CA-125
- Participant has no germline BRCA1/2 mutation as determined by an FDA-approved assay
- Participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
- Participant has platinum-resistant (progression within one to six months after completing platinum-based therapy) or platinum refractory disease (progression during treatment or within 4 weeks after the last dose), where platinum-based therapy is not an option, according to the GCIG 5th Ovarian Cancer Consensus Conference definitions (Wilson et al 2016). The platinum-based chemotherapy regimen does not necessarily need to be the last regimen the participant received prior to study entry
- Participant must have received at least one but no more than three prior systemic treatment regimens and for whom single-agent chemotherapy is appropriate as the next line of treatment
- Participant has received prior bevacizumab or is not eligible to receive bevacizumab due to medical reasons.
You may not qualify if:
- Participant has received prior treatment with any PI3K, mTOR or AKT inhibitor
- Participant is concurrently using other anti-cancer therapy
- Participant is in a state of small or large bowel obstruction or has other impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease
- Participant has had surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major adverse effects
- Participant has not recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to baseline or NCI CTCAE Version 4.03 Grade ≤1. Exception to this criterion: participants with any grade of alopecia are allowed to enter the study
- Participant has an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus type I or uncontrolled type II based on fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c
- Participants with liver impairment and Child Pugh score B or C
- Participant has received radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks or limited field radiation for palliation ≤ 2 weeks prior to randomization, and who has not recovered to baseline, grade 1 or better from related adverse effects of such therapy (with the exception of alopecia)
- Participant has a known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients
- Participant has a history of myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia, or presents clinical and/ or laboratory features suggestive thereof.
