Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether it is safe to treat your cancer with 3 drugs instead of 2 drugs. After surgery, your cancer is typically treated with 2 drugs called cisplatin and paclitaxel (also known as Taxol). Cisplatin is given through a port in your belly, and Taxol is given both through the belly port and through the vein (IV). Large clinical studies have shown that this treatment gives the best results for women with your cancer. This treatment, however, also causes many side effects, especially belly pain, nerve injury, lowering of the immune system, and infection risk. In the study you are being asked to join, the dose of Cisplatin will be lower in order to try to lessen these problems. This study will also test the safety of adding a 3rd drug called bevacizumab (also known as Avastin). This drug has been shown to shrink ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer in some patients who have advanced disease, despite having received prior treatment for their cancer. Therefore, it may also be effective in patients, like you, who have a new diagnosis.
Unfortunately, Avastin can cause some dangerous side effects in women with advanced cancer. For instance, it can cause a hole in the intestines, and can increase the risk of blood clots and strokes. Avastin has not been given at the same time as IP therapy, so it is not known if this is a safe or effective combination. In this study, IV Avastin will be given in addition to IP cisplatin, IP Taxol, and IV Taxol, to patients like you who have not had any chemotherapy before. This study aims to find out what effects, good and/or bad, that this combination of drugs has on your body and on your type of cancer.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Subjects must have signed an approved informed consent.
- Subjects with histologic diagnosis of epithelial ovarian carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma, or fallopian tube carcinoma, Stage II or III, with optimal (≤ or equal to 1 cm residual disease) residual disease following initial surgery. All subjects must have had appropriate surgery for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma with appropriate tissue available for histologic evaluation to confirm diagnosis and stage. Pathology must be verified at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
- Subjects with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: Serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma N.O.S.
- Subjects must have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) of ≥ or equal to 70%.
- Subjects must be entered no more than 12 weeks postoperatively.
- Bone marrow function:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ than or equal to 1,500/µl (equivalent to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Grade 1)
- Platelets ≥ than or equal to 100,000/µl (CTC Grade 0-1)
- Renal function: Creatinine ≤ than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl
- Hepatic function: Bilirubin ≤ than or equal to 1.5 x ULN (CTC Grade 1) AST ≤ than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTC Grade 1)
- Neurologic function: Neuropathy (sensory) ≤ than CTC Grade 1
- Urine Protein Creatinine: Urine protein creatinine (UPC) ratio must be than or equal to 1, collection of 24-hour urine measurement of urine protein is recommended as part of the patient's medical management off-study. *
- UPC ratio of spot urine is an estimation of the 24 urine protein excretion - a UPC ratio of 1 is roughly equivalent to a 24-hour urine protein of 1 gm. UPC ratio is calculated using one of the following formulas:
- [urine protein]/[urine creatinine] - if both protein and creatinine are reported in mg/dL
- [(urine protein) x0.088]/[urine creatinine] - if urine creatinine is reported in mmol/L
- The UPCR has been found to correlate directly with the amount of protein excreted in a 24 hour urine collection. Specifically, a UPCR of 1.0 is equivalent to 1.0 gram of protein in a 24 hour urine collection. Obtain at least 4 ml of a random urine sample in a sterile container (does not have to be a 24 hour urine). Send sample to lab with request for urine protein and creatinine levels [separate requests]. The lab will measure protein concentration (mg/dL) and creatinine concentration (mg/dL). The UPCR is derived as follows: protein concentration (mg/dL)/creatinine (mg/dL). Patients must have a UPCR 1 cm) residual disease, as determined by the operative surgeon.
- Patients who have received any targeted therapy (including but not limited to vaccines, antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) or hormonal therapy for management of their ovarian, peritoneal primary, or fallopian tube cancer.
- With the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other specific malignancies as noted above, subjects with other invasive malignancies who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last 5 years or whose previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy are excluded.
- Subjects with acute hepatitis.
- Subjects with active infection that requires parenteral antibiotics.
- Patients with serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture are not eligible. This includes history of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days. Patients with granulating incisions healing by secondary intention with no evidence of fascial dehiscence or infection are eligible but require weekly wound examinations.
- Patients with active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding, such as known bleeding disorder, coagulopathy, or tumor involving major vessels.
- Patients with history or e
