A Randomized Phase II Evaluation of Single-Agent Bevacizumab (IND #7921) (NSC #704865) and Combination Bevacizumab With Fosbretabulin Tromethamine (CA4P) (NSC #752293) in the Treatment of Recurrent or Persistent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must have recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or
primary peritoneal carcinoma
- Histologic documentation of the original primary tumor is required via the
pathology report
- Patients must have measurable disease or detectable (non-measurable) disease:
- Measurable disease defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately
measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded)
- Each lesion must be ≥ 10 mm when measured by CT scan, MRI or caliper
measurement by clinical exam, OR ≥ 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray
- Lymph nodes must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT scan or MRI
- Detectable disease defined as no measurable disease but has at least one of the
following conditions:
- Baseline values of CA-125 at least 2 times upper limit of normal
- Ascites and/or pleural effusion attributed to tumor
- Solid and/or cystic abnormalities on radiographic imaging that do not meet
RECIST 1.1 definition for target lesions
- Patients in the measurable disease cohort must have at least one "target lesion" to
be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1
- Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target"
lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm
persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation therapy
- Prior therapy:
- Patients must have had one prior 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 (biologic/targeted agents,
such as bevacizumab) or extended therapy administered after surgical or
non-surgical assessment
- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, two additional
cytotoxic regimens for management of recurrent or persistent disease, with no
more than 1 non-platinum, non-taxane regimen
- Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, non-cytotoxic
(biologic/targeted agents, such as bevacizumab) therapy as part of their primary
treatment regimen; patients must have NOT received any non-cytotoxic therapy
(biologic/targeted agents) for management of recurrent or persistent disease
(e.g., GOG protocol 170 series drugs or bevacizumab)
- For the purposes of this study, Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors
will be considered "cytotoxic", and prior treatment with PARP inhibitors for
primary or recurrent disease WILL be allowed (either alone or in combination
with chemotherapy) (12/19/2011)
- Patients with both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant disease are
eligible; patients with platinum-refractory disease are NOT eligible;
platinum-refractory disease is defined as patients who have progression of
disease during the preceding platinum treatment
- PFI for the most recent platinum therapy will need to be calculated before
enrollment onto this study for stratification purposes (i.e. balanced
randomization)
- Patients who have a PFI =< 182 days (26 weeks) are defined as "platinum
resistant"; patients who have 182 < PFI =< 365 days are defined as "GOG platinum
sensitive"; finally, patients with PFI > 365 days are defined as "platinum
sensitive"
- Not eligible for a higher-priority GOG protocol, if one exists
- Any active GOG Phase III protocol or Rare Tumor protocol for the same patient
population

brain tumor or any brain metastases
