Lead Sponsor
Emcure Pharmaceuticals Ltd
Brief Summary

A Multicenter, Open label, Randomized, Balanced, Two-treatment, Two-period,Two-sequence, Single dose, Two-way crossover, Bioequivalence study in female

patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have failed a first-line platinum-based

chemotherapy regimen and who are already receiving or scheduled to start

therapy with the Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome Injection under fasting

condition.



Primary Objective:

To assess the bioequivalence of Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome

concentrate for solution for infusion 2 mg/mL at a dose of 50mg/m2 of Emcure

Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India, compared to that of Caelyx 2 mg/mL concentrate for

solution for infusion (each mL containing 2 mg doxorubicin hydrochloride in a

pegylated liposomal formulation) at a dose of 50mg/m2 of Janssen-Cilag

International NV, Belgium., in female patients with advanced ovarian cancer who

have failed a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regimen and who are already

receiving or scheduled to start therapy with the doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome

injection under fasting condition.

Secondary objective:

To monitor the safety and tolerability of a single dose administered in female

patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have failed a first-line platinum-based

chemotherapy regimen and who are already receiving or scheduled to start therapy

with the doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection under fasting conditions.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Female patients, 18 to 75 years of age (both inclusive) and having a Body Mass Index (BMI) at least 17 kg/m2.
  • Have histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced ovarian cancer 3.
  • Patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have failed a first-line platinum-based chemotherapy regime and who are already receiving or scheduled to start Doxorubicin Hydrochloride liposomal injection 50 mg/m2 dose as monotherapy as per Investigator judgment.
  • Patients with life expectancy for at least 3 months.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 (The woman should be ambulatory, capable of all self-care, up for more than 50% of waking hours.
  • She may or may not be able to carry out any work activities).
  • Patients should preferably be on monotherapy.
  • However, cancer patients receiving concomitant medications are allowed to participate provided: The concomitant medication and their dosing regimen are expected to be same for both the study periods.
  • The concomitant medications do not interfere with the study drug (If concomitant medication is required during the study period, the patients will be treated accordingly, and a decision to continue or discontinue the patients will be made by the investigator).
  • Availability of patient for the entire study period and willingness to adhere to Protocol requirements as evidenced by the written ICF duly signed by the patient.
  • Either the female is of non-child bearing potential (females having documented history of surgical sterilization or are postmenopausal (12 months of amenorrhea after the last menstrual period) or if the female is of child bearing potential, then she is eligible if: Patient has used an effective method of contraception or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to study drug administration.
  • Effective method includes: Tubal sterilization (tubal ligation performed more than one month before Study Day 1; transcervical tubal occlusion procedure performed more than six months before Study Day 1) Intrauterine Device (IUD) Progestin Implant (i.e. Implanon or its equivalent) Progestin injection or progestin oral contraceptive pill + one barrier method (cervical cap, diaphragm, contraceptive sponge or vaginal spermicide + a male or female condom) Two barrier methods used together (cervical cap, diaphragm, contraceptive sponge or vaginal spermicide + a male or female condom) Absolute sexual abstinence (no sexual intercourse or genital contact with a male partner) Patient is willing to avoid pregnancies during the study and up to 06 months after the last dose of study drug by use of an effective method of permitted contraception or abstinence.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients will be excluded from the study, if they meet any of the following criteria: 1. Patients who have a history of hypersensitivity or idiosyncratic reactions to a conventional or novel liposomal formulation of Doxorubicin HCl and its excipients. 2. Prior Doxorubicin (or other anthracyclines) exposure that would result in a total lifetime exposure of 550 mg/m2 or more after four cycles of treatment. 3. Patients who require any dose modifications (Dose other than 50 mg/m2) 4. Have received treatment with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy in less than 4 weeks prior to study entry (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or Mitomycin C) 5. If any patient whose weight changes during the study requiring a ± 5% dose adjustment will be discontinued from the study and excluded from the analysis. 6. If any signs or symptoms of extravasation have occurred, the infusion should be immediately terminated and the patient will be discontinued from the study and excluded from the analysis. 7. Known active brain metastasis including leptomeningeal involvement (patients with brain metastases can only be enrolled if they are treated and stable for >8 weeks and who currently do not require steroid or radiation therapy) 8.
