Eribulin Mesylate in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial, Primary Peritoneal Cavity, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Fallopian Tube Cancer
Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial Cancer
Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00334893
Lead Sponsor
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Brief Summary

This phase II trial is studying how well eribulin mesylate works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the frequency of objective response (complete and partial responses) in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer treated with E7389 (eribulin mesylate).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

II. Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior platinum sensitivity (yes vs no).

Patients receive eribulin mesylate intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for 4 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective Response to Treatment With Eribulin Mesylate in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Peritoneal Cancer.up to a total of a year

Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Toxicity Profile of Eribulin Mesylate in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Peritoneal CancerFrom the time of their first treatment with eribulin mesylate

Measured by NCI CTCAE Version 4.0. The 95% confidence intervals should be provided. Please see adverse events.
