AMG 706 in Treating Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

RATIONALE: AMG 706 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well AMG 706 works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Gynecologic Oncology Group
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Imetelstat; Motesanib diphosphate

Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

• Histologically confirmed ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma

• Measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm by conventional techniques or as ≥ 10 mm by spiral CT scan

• Must have at least one "target lesion" that can be used to assess response, as defined by RECIST criteria

• Tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented OR a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistent disease ≥ 90 days following completion of radiotherapy

• Must have received one 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, or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment

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

• Patients must have a platinum-free interval of < 12 months, have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease after a platinum-based therapy

• Ineligible for a higher priority GOG protocol

• No pleural effusion or ascites causing grade 2 or greater dyspnea

• No history of uncontrolled CNS metastases

• Patients with a history of CNS metastases must have their disease controlled by radiotherapy and/or surgery; have at least two imaging scans following treatment (that were no less than 30 days apart) showing no progression of any lesions and no new lesions; and be clinically stable off corticosteroids for ≥ 14 days prior to study randomization

• Able to swallow oral medications

• Cardiac ejection fraction normal

• No sensory and motor neuropathy > grade 2

• No other invasive malignancies within the past 5 years, except nonmelanoma skin cancer or other specific malignancies

• No bleeding diathesis or hypercoagulopathy within the past 14 days

• No arterial or venous thrombosis within the past 12 months

• None of the following within the past 12 months:

• Myocardial infarction

• Cerebrovascular accident

• Transient ischemic attack

• Grade 2 or greater peripheral vascular disease

• Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent

• Congestive heart failure

• Ongoing arrhythmias requiring medication

• Unstable angina

• No average systolic blood pressure ≥ 150 mm Hg and average diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg

• Patients with hypertension that is stable on a current dose of anti-hypertensives are eligible

• No history of impaired cardiac status (e.g., severe heart disease, cardiomyopathy, or congestive heart failure)

• No psychiatric, addictive, or other kind of disorder that would compromise the ability of the patient to give written informed consent

• No open wounds, ulcers, or fractures

• No active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated UTI)

• No known HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C positivity

• No known hypersensitivity to AMG 706
