Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Ovarian Cancer Recurrent | Biological: DCVAC/OvCa Drug: Standard of Care Chemotherapy | Phase 2 |
All patients who fulfill all eligibility criteria will undergo a leukapheresis procedure. All eligible/enrolled patients will receive standard-of-care therapy with carboplatin/gemcitabine or carboplatin/paclitaxel starting 2 to 7 days after leukapheresis.
After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, patients will start maintenance treatment with DCVAC/OvCa.
Treatment will continue irrespective of tumor progression until completion, refusal, intolerance of treatment or death.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 33 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | open-label DCVAC/OvCa after treatment with carboplatin in combination with either gemcitabine or paclitaxel |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | An Open-label, Single-group, Multi-center, Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Effect of Maintenance DCVAC/OvCa After Standard-of-care Therapy in Women With First Relapse of Platinum-sensitive Epithelial Ovarian Cancer |
Actual Study Start Date : | November 23, 2017 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | November 11, 2020 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | February 25, 2021 |

Other Names:

- Progression Free Survival by modifications to the RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Assessed from enrollment up to 104 weeks ]PFS as defined as the time from the first dose of Standard-of-Care (SoC) therapy administerd until tumor progression or death from any cause
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Assessed from enrolment through study completion approximately 5 years ]Defined as the time from first dose of SoC therapy administered until death due to any cause assessed until study completion
- Biological progression-free interval [ Time Frame: CA-125 assessed every 6 weeks up to 104 weeks ]Defined by increasing CA-125 levels per Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) criteria
- Objective Response rate [ Time Frame: Response is assessed every 8 weeks up to 104 weeks ]CR and PR measured by the modifed RECIST 1.1 criteria
- Immunologic Response [ Time Frame: Blood samples collected 5 times throughout the study from enrolment up to 104 weeks ]Detection of entire anti-tumor immune response int he serum
- Incidence of Treatment-emergent adverse events [safety and tolerability] [ Time Frame: Screening through 30 days after completion of treatment ]Safety profile as determined by the nature, incidence, duration, severity and outcome of adverse events (AEs) including serious AEs (SAEs) as assessed by CTCAE v. 4.0
- CA-125 response [ Time Frame: CA-125 assessed every 6 weeks up to 104 weeks ]Defined by GCIG criteria
- Time to either tumor or biologic Response [ Time Frame: From first dose of chemotherapy until either objective or serologic progression for up to 104 weeks. ]Response according to RECIST or CA-125 measurements as increased to >2 times ULN
