Brief Summary

This research trial studies chitinase 3-like 1 (cartilage glycoprotein-39) (YKL-40) in serum samples from patients with newly diagnosed stage III-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer receiving chemotherapy. Studying samples of serum in the laboratory from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects of chemotherapy on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the ability of the YKL-40 serum marker to detect response or lack of response to primary chemotherapy in International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage III or IV invasive epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

II. To compare the predictive accuracy of YKL-40 with cancer antigen 125 (CA125).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To test the ability of the YKL-40 serum marker to detect recurrence of ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer in patients who are in first remission following primary chemotherapy.

II. To test the ability of the YKL-40 serum marker to predict poor risk patients with FIGO stage III or IV invasive epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore alternative cut-off values for YKL-40 elevation in this large patient population.

II. To describe the variability of YKL-40 and CA125 measurements in patients receiving primary chemotherapy and in primary remission in a large patient population.

III. To describe the accuracy of YKL-40 coupled with CA125 measurements in predicting chemotherapy response, progression-free survival and overall survival.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of serum samples for analysis of YKL-40 via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and CA125 via chemiluminometric sandwich immunoassay at the following time-points: at baseline; prior to beginning each course of chemotherapy (courses 1-6); at completion of chemotherapy; every 3 months during years 1-2 post-chemotherapy; every 6 months during years 3-5 post-chemotherapy; every year during years 6-10 post-chemotherapy; and at time of disease recurrence or progression.

Target Recruitment

Inclusion Criteria
  • Patients with a histologic diagnosis of FIGO stage III or IV invasive epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma who will receive primary chemotherapy for newly diagnosed disease; eligible histologic cell types include serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, transitional, mixed epithelial, undifferentiated, adenocarcinoma, not otherwise specified (NOS) and malignant Brenner tumor
  • Patients who have undergone full surgical staging as described in the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) Surgical Procedures Manual
  • Patients who have met the pre-entry requirements
  • Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information
Exclusion Criteria
  • The following histologic cell types are not eligible: carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Mullerian tumor) and borderline epithelial tumors (low malignant potential, atypical proliferative)
  • Patients with a current diagnosis of borderline epithelial ovarian tumor (formerly "tumors of low malignant potential") or recurrent invasive epithelial ovarian cancer treated with surgery only (such as those with stage IA or IB low grade lesions) are not eligible; patients with a prior diagnosis of a borderline tumor that was surgically resected and who subsequently develop an unrelated, new invasive epithelial ovarian or peritoneal primary cancer are eligible, provided that they have not received prior chemotherapy for any ovarian tumor
  • Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor are excluded; patients may have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
  • Patients with synchronous primary endometrial cancer, or a past history of primary endometrial cancer, are excluded, unless all of the following conditions are met: stage not greater than IB; no more than superficial myometrial invasion, without vascular or lymphatic invasion; no poorly differentiated subtypes, including papillary serous, clear cell or other FIGO grade 3 lesions
  • With the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other specific malignancies as noted above, patients with other invasive malignancies who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last five years or whose previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy are excluded
  • Patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgical staging
  • Individuals with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, severe uncontrolled osteoarthritis, hepatic fibrosis or other active chronic inflammatory condition

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to tumor recurrence (relapse)From study entry until disease recurrence, death or date of last contact, assessed up to 10 years

Parallel analyses of the markers as predictors of time-to-relapse will be performed using survival-type regression methods such as the Cox proportional hazards model or a parametric maximum likelihood model. The total number of patients available for analysis of time to relapse is the number of patients who respond to treatment.

YKL-40 measurementsUp to 10 years

YKL-40 will be compared to CA125 in terms of its ability to detect response to chemotherapy (during chemotherapy) and recurrence of disease (in remission). Serum YKL-40 behavior will also be assessed as a reflection of tumor histology, tumor grade, and tumor stage-all in comparison to CA125. The accuracy of each marker alone will be compared using area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and assess which adds more predictive information when both are included in logistic regression.

CA125 measurementsUp to 10 years

The accuracy of each marker alone will be compared using area under the ROC curve, and assess which adds more predictive information when both are included in logistic regression.

Objective response using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteriaUp to 10 years

In order to make a valid comparison between CA125 and YKL-40, in this study computed tomography (CT) criteria will be treated as the "gold standard" and whether changes in YKL-40 levels correlate with CT evidence as well as or better than changes in CA125 levels will be evaluated.

Time to disease progression using RECIST criteriaUp to 10 years

Parallel statistical analyses of time to disease progression will also be conducted for patients who do not respond.
