A Phase II Evaluation of a Urokinase-Derived Peptide (A6) (IND #64,298) in the Treatment of Persistent or Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To assess the activity of A6, as measured by the 6-month progression-free survival
(PFS) rate and objective tumor response (complete or partial) rate, in patients with
persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal
carcinoma.

- To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v3.0.

Secondary

- To characterize the duration of PFS and overall survival.

- To identify biomarkers of drug effect on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Tertiary

- To explore whether genes identified as being up- or down-regulated by exposure of human
PBMCs to A6 in vitro are also up- or down-regulated following treatment of patients
with A6 in vivo.

- To explore whether there is an association between the expression of candidate A6
receptors in the tumor prior to treatment with A6 (as determined by IHC) and response
and PFS.

- To explore whether there is an association between change in expression of candidate
biomarkers in PBMCs between 0-24 hours following the first dose of A6 and response and
PFS.

- To explore whether there is an association between change in expression of candidate
biomarkers in PBMCs over the course of the first one month cycle (course 1) and
response and PFS.

- To determine whether there is an association between plasma A6 levels measured on days
2 (24 hours after the first dose and 4 hours after the second dose) and 8 (prior to
injection of A6) of course 1 and levels of expression of candidate biomarkers in PBMCs
collected on the same days.

- To explore whether there is an association between plasma A6 levels measured on days 2
(24 hours after the first dose and 4 hours after the second dose) and 8 (prior to
injection of A6) of course 1 and response and PFS.

- To explore whether there is an association between candidate serum biomarkers and
response and PFS over the course of A6 treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive A6 subcutaneously once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and
then every 6 months for 3 years.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube,
or primary peritoneal carcinoma, including any of the following epithelial cell
types:

- Undifferentiated carcinoma

- Clear cell adenocarcinoma

- Mixed epithelial carcinoma

- Transitional cell carcinoma

- Malignant Brenner tumor

dimension as ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or ≥ 10 mm by spiral CT scan

- Must have ≥ 1 target lesion to assess response as defined by RECIST criteria

- Tumors within a previously irradiated field are designated as "non-target"
lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm
persistence of disease ≥ 90 days following completion of radiotherapy

- Must not be eligible for a higher priority GOG clinical trial, if one exists (i.e.,
any active GOG Phase III clinical trial for the same patient population)

- Must have received 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen containing
carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound for management of primary
disease

- Initial treatment may have included high-dose therapy, consolidation therapy,
non-cytotoxic therapy, or extended therapy administered after surgical or
non-surgical assessment

- One additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent
disease allowed

- Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based
regimen for management of primary disease) must have a platinum-free interval of
< 12 months, have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent
disease after a platinum-based therapy

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- GOG performance status 0-2 (for patients who received 1 prior regimen) OR 0-1 (for
patients who received 2 prior regimens)

- ANC ≥ 1,500/mm^3

- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

- Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN

- SGOT ≤ 2.5 times ULN

- Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times ULN

- Not pregnant or nursing

- Negative pregnancy test

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception

- Able and willing to self-administer daily subcutaneous (SC) injections or has a
caregiver who is willing and able to administer daily SC injections

- No active infection requiring antibiotics, except uncomplicated urinary tract
infection

- No neuropathy (sensory and motor) > grade 2, according to CTCAE v3.0

- No other invasive malignancies within the past 5 years, except for non-melanoma skin
cancer

- No history of sensitivity to A6

- No active gastrointestinal bleeding within the past month

- No other disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, could jeopardize patient
safety or interfere with study objectives

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

allowed

- At least 3 weeks since any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor,
including immunological agents

- More than 2 weeks since prior major surgical procedure

- More than 5 years since prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or
pelvis other than for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal
cancer

- More than 3 years since prior radiotherapy for localized cancer of the breast, head
and neck, or skin AND remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease

- Patients with ductal breast carcinoma in situ may have undergone localized
radiotherapy within the past 3 years

- More than 5 years since prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor other
than for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer

- More than 3 years since prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer AND
remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease

- More than 30 days since prior investigational drugs

- No prior A6
