Brief Title: A Study of Pembrolizumab With Standard Treatment in Patients With Recurrent Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer
Official Title: A Phase II Study of Pembrolizumab With Cisplatin and Gemcitabine Treatment in Patients With Recurrent Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer
Study ID: NCT02608684
Brief Summary: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description: This is a single-arm, open-label, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 antibody MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) in combination with standard of care gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (encompasses ovarian, peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer). Subjects will receive 2 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy followed by 4 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin combined with pembrolizumab in 21-day treatment cycles. Subjects will continue to receive single-agent pembrolizumab every 21 days as maintenance therapy for up to 2 year until progression or the subject meets withdrawal criteria. Tumor imaging with CT scan will occur at baseline and every 6 weeks (after each second cycle) during chemotherapy treatment and every 9 weeks thereafter. The primary endpoint is efficacy as defined overall response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v.1.1). Secondary endpoints for efficacy include progression free survival at 6 and 12 months, time to progression, duration of response and overall survival. Safety and tolerability of the regimen will be determined by assessing the frequency and intensity of adverse events as defined by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v.4). Quality of life will be measured using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30).
