A clinical study evaluating the efficacy of an investigational compound (MEK162) in adult female patients with a specific type of ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneum cancer

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: ot Recruiting

Sex: Female

Target Recruitment: 333

Inclusion Criteria

?Diagnosis of LGS carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube or primary peritoneum (invasive micropapillary serous carcinoma or invasive grade 1 serous carcinoma), confirmed histologically and verified by central pathology review.
?Recurrent or persistent measurable disease that has progressed (defined as radiological and/or clinical progression; an increase in cancer antigen [CA]-125 alone is not sufficient) on or after last therapy (i.e., chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, surgery) and is not amenable to potentially curative intent surgery, as determined by the patient's treating physician.
?Must have received at least 1 prior platinum-based chemotherapy regimen but have received no more than 3 lines of prior chemotherapy regimens, with no limit to the number of lines of prior hormonal therapy.
?Available archival tumor sample (excisional or core biopsy) for confirmation of LGS carcinoma diagnosis. If adequate archival tumor sample is not available, willingness to consent to tissue biopsy.
?Suitable for treatment with at least one of the physician's choice chemotherapy options (liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel or topotecan) as determined by the Investigator.
?Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.
?Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria exist.
