Brief Summary

SOPRANO is a multi-centre, randomised phase II trial which aims to assess the impact of Stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) and continuing treatment with a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) for patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal carcinoma. SOPRANO will also establish the feasibility and acceptability of delivering SBRT in this setting.

Detailed Description

Oligometastases or oligoprogression of ovarian cancer while on a PARPi may occur due to a secondary sub-clonal mutation causing acquired resistance in a small volume of tumour rather than having global tumour resistance. Eradication of the resistant disease with stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) would enable continuation of the PARPi to maintain control of disease that has retained drug sensitivity and this has the potential to impact disease outcomes.

For the purposes of this ovarian cancer trial, oligoprogression refers to the situation whereby 3 or less lesions of disease show evidence of progression. If there were previously other sites of disease, these remain in response or stable. Oligometastatic disease refers to the situation whereby complete response to treatment has been obtained and the disease relapse occurs that is limited in number and distribution (≤3 metastatic/recurrent lesions).

SOPRANO will explore whether there is activity of SBRT and SBRT followed by niraparib in the case of oligometastatic or oligoprogression disease post prior PARPi in recurrent ovarian cancer.

The trial will recruit patients with oligometastic or oligoprogressive ovarian cancer (≤3 sites/lesions) who have progressed on or following at least 6 months of treatment with PARP Inhibitor (PARPi). Patients will be randomised to one of two parallel non-comparative treatment cohorts:

* Cohort 1: SBRT followed by niraparib

* Cohort 2: SBRT alone

In both cohorts, therapy will continue until disease progression deemed by the investigator to warrant a change in treatment, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or if the investigator decides it is not in the best interest of the patient to continue.

Adverse events, including toxicity from trial treatment will be collected and graded according to The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) Version 5.0 (http://ctep.cancer.gov/reporting/ctc.html).

Participants will be asked to consent for future linkage with routinely collected health data via national registries to trace their eventual vital status and assess subsequent unexpected comorbidities.

Assessment of disease by RECIST will be required 8 weekly following completion of SBRT for the first year and 12 weekly thereafter until disease progression meeting the primary endpoint.

  8. Clinical/radiological evidence of bowel obstruction (e.g. hospitalisation) or symptoms of sub-acute bowel obstruction within 6 weeks prior to trial entry.
  9. Any other malignancy which has been active or treated within the past 3 years, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer. If prior treatment for another malignancy has taken place, then confirmation of ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal cancer progression is required e.g. biopsy, and discussion with the trial Chief Investigator and SBRT Lead
  10. Judgment by the Investigator that the patient is unsuitable to participate in the trial and/or the patient is unlikely to comply with trial procedures, restrictions and requirements.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survivalThe primary timepoint of most interest for PFS is at six months after randomisation

Progression free survival is defined as time from randomisation to evidence of progression of cancer at any site or death from any cause. Progression events should be imaging defined in all tumour types according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Where SBRT specific consensus response assessment criteria exist for specific sites (e.g. spine), progression of SBRT treated lesions will be defined according to these guidelines.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survivalThe primary timepoint of interest for OS is at two years after randomisation.

Overall survival (OS) defined as time from randomisation to death from any cause.

Time to first subsequent anti-cancer therapyTime to first subsequent anti-cancer therapy assessed up to 2 years after randomisation.

Time to first subsequent anti-cancer therapy is defined as time from randomisation to commencing next line of therapy (local or systemic) or death from any cause (if this occurs before commencement of first subsequent treatment).

Clinician reported acute and late toxicityAcute events are defined as those occurring up to 3 months follow up; late events are reported from 6 months post randomisation.
