Dose-finding Study Comparing Efficacy and Safety of a PARP Inhibitor Against Doxil in BRCA+ve Advanced Ovarian Cancer

A Phase II, Open-Label, Randomised, Comparative, International Multicentre Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Different Doses of AZD2281 Given Orally Twice Daily Versus Intravenous Liposomal Doxorubicin Given Monthly in Patients With Advanced BRCA1- or BRCA2-Associated Ovarian Cancer Who Have Failed Previous Platinum-based Chemotherapy

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 doses of drug AZD2281 against liposomal doxorubicin to see which is effective and well tolerated in treating patients with measurable BRCA1- or BRCA2-positive advanced ovarian cancer and who have failed previous platinum therapy.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Tumour assessment was to be assessed at screening, every 8 weeks during the study and at the withdrawal visit, up to 56 weeks. (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009)PFS was defined as the time to progression from the date of randomisation until the date of radiological assessment of progression per RECIST criteria or death (by any cause in the absence of progression)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease Control RateAt the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009)The number of patients with confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions ) or SD ( small changes ) \>4 months, divided by the number of randomised patients
Overall Duration of ResponseAt the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009)The duration of response was defined as time (months) from initial assessment of PR/CR until earliest date of objective progression or death. (Values may be underestimated as some patients had not progressed at final analysis so true duration is likely to be greater than that in database.)
Best Percentage Change in Tumour SizeAt the time that 57 PFS events had occurred (Data cut-off for primary analysis of PFS: 15 September 2009)The percentage change (reduction) from baseline in the sum of the lengths of the longest diameter (LD) of the RECIST target lesions were objectively documented, regardless of whether the patient was still taking study medication

Overall Survival (OS)At the time of the cut-off for the final analysis of overall survival (30 April 2010)OS was defined as time from randomisation to date of death from any cause. Patients who had not died at time of analysis were censored at last date they were known to be alive. Median OS was not calculable for olaparib groups due to an insufficient number of deaths so the percentage of participants who died are shown along with 95% confidence intervals
