Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.
Eligibility Criteria
- * Recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma, diagnosed within 6 months of completing their most recent platinum-containing chemotherapy.
- * Patients with the following histologic cell types are eligible: Serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.)
- * 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, high-dose therapy, consolidation, noncytotoxic agents or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment.
- * Must have NOT received more than two total prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease, including retreatment with initial chemotherapy regimens.
- * May have received one additional non-cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following definition: Non-cytotoxic (biologic or cytostatic) agents include (but are not limited to) hormones, monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and small molecule inhibitors of signal transduction.
- * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study entry and be practicing an effective form of contraception.
- * Bone marrow function
- * Renal function
- * Hepatic function
- * Neurologic function
- * Recovered from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy. All persistent clinically significant toxicities from prior chemotherapy must be less than or equal to Grade 1.
- * Free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated UTI).
- * Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration.
- * Platinum-refractory ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.
- * Known second primary or prior malignancy diagnosed within 5 years of study start date (other than previously treated non-melanoma skin cancer).
- * Current treatment with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Any prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including biologic and immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration.
- * History of treatment with known kinase inhibiting agents.
- * History of gastrointestinal fistula, hemorrhage, perforation or peptic ulcer disease.
- * Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
