ENGOT-cx1/BGOG-cx1: 3 Weekly Carboplatin/Paclitaxel With or Without Nintedanib in Cervix Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02009579
- Lead Sponsor
- Belgian Gynaecological Oncology Group
- Brief Summary
Indication:
Treatment of subjects with advanced (FIGO stage IVB) or recurrent cervical cancer, prior radiochemotherapy or neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is allowed.
Study design:
This is a phase II randomized, double blind and placebo controlled trial evaluating the efficacy of Nintedanib/placebo in combination with the standard carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by Nintedanib/placebo maintenance in the treatment of patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.
A total of 120 patients will be randomized between the experimental and control arm in a 1:1 ratio. Randomization will be stratified for 1previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease (yes/no) and 2disease status (Stage IVB primary versus recurrent disease).
Experimental arm: Subjects will receive 6 cycles of 3-weekly carboplatin (AUC 5) + paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and Nintedanib 200 mg BID followed by Nintedanib maintenance until progression or for a total maximum duration of 120 weeks.
Control arm: Subjects will receive 6 cycles of 3-weekly carboplatin (AUC 5) + paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and placebo 200 mg BID followed by placebo maintenance until progression or for a total maximum duration of 120 weeks.
Subjects without evidence of disease progression after completion or discontinuation of the study treatment will be followed until radiographic disease progression, withdrawal of consent or death.

-
Treatment with other investigational drugs or treatment in another clinical trial within the past 4 weeks before start of therapy or concomitantly with the trial.
-
Therapeutic anticoagulation with drugs requiring INR monitoring (except low-dose heparin and/or heparin flush as needed for maintenance of an in-dwelling intravenous devise) or anti-platelet therapy (except for low-dose therapy with acetylsalicylic acid <325 mg per day).
-
Major injuries within the past 4 weeks prior to start of study treatment with incomplete wound healing and/or planned surgery during the on-treatment study period.
-
History of clinically significant haemorrhagic or thromboembolic event in the past 6 months.
-
Known inherited predisposition to bleeding or thrombosis.
-
Significant cardiovascular diseases ( i.e. uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina within the past 6 months, history of infarction within the past 12 months prior to start of study treatment, congestive heart failure > NYHA II, serious cardiac arrhythmia, pericardial effusion).

- Absolute neutrophil count ( ANC) < 1500/µl, platelets < 100000/µl, haemoglobin < 9.0 g/dl
-
Other malignancies within the past 3 years or other malignancy with recurrence in the past 3 years or with high risk of recurrence in the first year. In exception to this rule, the following malignancies may be included: non-melanomatous skin cancer (if adequately treated) , any premalignant (e.g. in situ) carcinoma, or basocellular carcinoma.
-
Active serious infections in particular if requiring systemic antibiotic or antimicrobial therapy.
-

-
Gastrointestinal disorders or abnormalities that would interfere with absorption of the study drug.
-
Serious illness or concomitant non-oncological disease such as neurologic, psychiatric, infectious disease or active ulcers (gastro-intestinal tract, skin) or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression free survival 1.5 years after LPI Primary objective:
The purpose of this trial is to determine if chemotherapy (carboplatin/paclitaxel) plus Nintedanib (BIBF 1120) can improve progression free survival compared to chemotherapy (carboplatin/paclitaxel) plus placebo in patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient health status 5 years after LPI To explore the effect of Nintedanib on patient reported health status as measured by EORTC-QOL-Cx 24 and EORTCQLQ-C30 questionnaires
Overall survival 5 years after LPI To evaluate the overall survival
Safety and toxicity 5 years after LPI Secondary objectives:
To evaluate the safety and toxicity reported for of the combination regimen
