An Expanded Cohort Phase I Study Of CT-2103 (IND #61013) And Carboplatin In Patients With Previously Untreated Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma Or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of polyglutamate paclitaxel in combination
with carboplatin in patients with chemotherapy-naïve ovarian epithelial, primary
peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma.

- Determine the feasibility of this regimen at the MTD in an expanded cohort of patients.

- Determine the response rate and progression-free survival of patients treated with this
regimen in the expanded cohort.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this drug combination in these
patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of polyglutamate
paclitaxel (CT-2103) followed by a feasibility, multicenter study.

- Dose-escalation phase: Patients receive CT-2103 IV over 10 minutes and carboplatin IV
over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 8 courses in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of CT-2103 until the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6
patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first course of treatment.

- Feasibility phase: Once the MTD of CT-2103 is determined, an additional 20-40 patients
receive treatment at that dose level combined with carboplatin as above.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-64 patients (3-24 for dose-escalation phase and 20-40 for
feasibility phase) will be accrued for this study within 4-10 months.
