Safety Study of Farletuzumab, Carboplatin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) to Treat Platinum-sensitive Ovarian Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Farletuzumab, Carboplatin, and PLD
Registration Number
NCT01004380
Lead Sponsor
Morphotek
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether combination therapy with farletuzumab (MORAb-003), carboplatin, and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is safe.

Detailed Description

Farletuzumab (MORAb-003) is a monoclonal antibody that has the potential to be an effective agent against epithelial ovarian cancer (including primary fallopian tube and peritoneal adenocarcinoma) in combination with other drugs. Farletuzumab works by a different mechanism from other cancer therapeutics and has been shown to be well tolerated. This study allows the opportunity to determine if the combination therapy of farletuzumab, carboplatin, and PLD

1. is safe, or

2. to assess the potential drug-drug interaction, and

3. to prolong response to chemotherapy.
