Brief summary

This study tests whether denileukin diftitox will deplete regulatory T cells, boost tumor-specific immunity and treat epithelial ovarian cancer in patients who have failed, or who are ineligible for front line therapy.

Detailed description

This is a non-randomized, single-arm, Phase II trial. Selected patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancers who have no reasonable chance of cure using standard regimens, or who will not receive such regimens (due to contraindication or intolerance) are eligible. Patients will be treated with Ontak at 12 µg/kg monthly as long as they meet response criteria.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants Demonstrating Clinical Response

Assess the efficacy of Ontak to treat selected advanced-stage ovarian epithelial cancers measured by clinical response rate, disease-free progression, and overall survival.

Time frame: 2 years

Population: Measurements performed by RECIST criteria and response reported as a percent. 56 subjects needed to be recruited to the study to determine efficacy. Analysis was on an intent to treat basis.
