Sunitinib in Recurrent and Refractory Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Carcinoma
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, October 2008
Sponsors and Collaborators: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Massachusetts General Hospital
Information provided by: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00768144
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of sunitinib on participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Sunitinib is a newly discovered drug that may stop cancer cells from growing by blocking the blood supply to the tumor.

Official Title: A Phase II Trial of Sunitinib in Recurrent and Refractory Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Carcinoma

Further study details as provided by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Response rate (defined as CR+ PR) for patients treated with sunitinib [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Clinical benefit defined as CR+ PR+ SD greater than 6 months [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety of this agent in this patient population [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 35
Study Start Date: September 2008
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: Sunitinib
    Taken orally once a day in the evening
Detailed Description:
  • Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days during which participants will take sunitinib orally every evening before going to sleep.
  • During all treatment cycles participants will have a physical exam and will be asked questions about their general health and specific questions about any problems they may be having.
  • A CT or MRI scan will be performed every two cycles (8 weeks) of therapy for the first 6 cycles, then every 3 cycles (12 weeks) after that.
