Registration Number
NCT01535157
Lead Sponsor
South Plains Oncology Consortium
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.

Detailed Description

In this study, an initial Phase I component of six patients will be conducted to monitor for potential toxicities as this wil be the initial adult experience of fenretinide (4-HPR) given together with ketoconazole

GroupInterventionDescription
Fenretinide/LXS + KetoconozaleFenretinide/LXS + KetoconazoleOne course is defined as 7 days of Fenretinide/LXS + Ketoconazole followed by 14 days of rest. A course is repeated every 21 days if no evidence of disease progression for six courses.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Phase 2: Event Free SurvivalFrom enrollment up to the first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered on treatment)

The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

Phase 1: To determine the systemic toxicity profile of 4-HPR/LXS oral powder + ketoconazoleFrom time of first dose to the last (average 6 months)

Toxicity information recorded will include the type, severity, time of onset, time of resolution, and the probable association with the study regimen.

Phase 2: Progression Free SurvivalFrom date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)

The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.

Phase 2: Overall SurvivalFrom enrollment up to first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered treatment)

The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
