AVE0005, NCT00327171

Trial Description

Summary

The primary objective is to compare the objective response rate of AVE0005 (VEGF Trap) 4.0 mg/kg and 2.0 mg/kg intravenous (IV) every 2 weeks with historical control in patients with advanced ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) adenocarcinoma resistant to platinum and topotecan and/or liposomal doxorubicin.

The secondary objectives are to further assess efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, potential biological and pharmacogenomic markers of study drug activity, and health-related quality of life.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologically-confirmed ovarian epithelial (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal) adenocarcinoma.
  • Prior treatment with at least 2 treatment regimens in the advanced disease treatment setting
  • Platinum-resistant disease defined by relapse or progression of disease during or after treatment, or drug intolerance
  • Topotecan- and/or liposomal doxorubicin-resistant disease defined by relapse or progression of disease during or after treatment, or drug intolerance
  • Evidence of at least one unidimensional measurable tumor lesion by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) that has not been treated with surgery or radiation therapy

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of any second malignancy within the last 5 years, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or for in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri
  • Prior treatment with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or VEGF receptor inhibitor
  • More than 3 chemotherapy regimens in the advanced disease treatment setting
  • Uncontrolled hypertension
