Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to make a preliminary assessment of the efficacy of a combined APR-246 and PLD chemotherapy regimen in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) with mutated TP53. In addition, the study aims to assess the safety profile of the combined APR-246 and PLD chemotherapy regimen, to evaluate potential biomarkers, and to assess the biological activity in tumor and surrogate tissues. The trial will enroll at least 25 evaluable patients.

Inclusion criteria

* Confirmed High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer, and positive nuclear immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for p53 * Disease Progression between 4 weeks - 6 months after the last platinum-based treatment was administered * At least a single measurable lesion * Adequate organ function prior to registration * Toxicities from previous cancer therapies (excluding alopecia) must have recovered to grade 1 (defined by National Cancer Institute \[NCI\] Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[CTCAE\] version 4.0). Chronic stable grade 2 peripheral neuropathy secondary to neurotoxicity from prior therapies may be considered on a case by case basis * ECOG performance status of 0 to 2

Exclusion criteria

* Prior exposure to cumulative doses of doxorubicin \>400 mg/m2 or epirubicin \>720 mg/m2 * Hypersensitivity to PLD or to any of the excipients * Unable to undergo imaging by either CT scan or MRI * Evidence of any other medical conditions (such as psychiatric illness, infectious diseases, neurological conditions, physical examination or laboratory findings) that may interfere with the planned treatment, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment related complications * Concurrent malignancy requiring therapy (excluding non-invasive carcinoma or carcinoma in situ) * Is taking concurrent (or within 4 weeks prior to registration) chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, or any ancillary therapy that is considered to be investigational (i.e., used for non-approved indications(s) and in the context of a research investigation). Supportive care measures are allowed. Palliative limited radiation therapy for pain reduction is allowed

AEs were graded according to NCI CTCAE (Version 4.0). Patients with multiple TEAEs were only counted once within a summary category: SOC, PT, maximum grade, or relationship to treatment. Patients with events in more than one category were counted once within each category.

Overall Response Rate (ORR)

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Time frame: Up to 18 months

Population: A total of 36 patients were enrolled in this Phase II study. Of the 36 patients, 28 patients were in the main study, 4.5g/6hr dose cohort; 8 patients were in the sub-study as follows: 3 patients were in the 4.5g/3hr dose cohort; 2 patients were in the 4.5g/4hr dose cohort and 3 patients were in the 3.7g/4hr dose cohort.~The 23 Efficacy Evaluable Patients from the Main Study (APR-246 (4.5g/6hr) + PLD) are part of the analysis reported below.
