Phase 1/2a Two-Arm Dose-Escalation Study of BAX69 in Subjects With Malignant Ascites of Ovarian Cancer
United States2 participantsStarted 2015-11-02
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BAX69 monotherapy given either as intraperitoneal (IP) infusion (Single-Route Arm); or as IP infusion after intravenous (IV) infusion (IV+IP) (Double-Route Arm), and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for each Arm separately, in subjects with refractory ovarian cancer and recurrent malignant ascites. In both Arms, the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of BAX69 will be characterized, and pharmacodynamics (PD) markers will be explored in plasma and ascites. Two expansion cohorts will further assess the tolerability of the RP2D and explore clinical signs of efficacy.

. Anticipated life expectancy \>3 months at the time of screening
. Metastatic ovarian epithelial cancer that are platinum-resistant, and has no better option available in the investigator's opinion

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
The Occurrence of Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)
Timeframe: 4 weeks
2
The Ratio of Puncture Free Survival (PuFS) Over Puncture-free Interval at Baseline
. Known central nervous system metastasis that is unstable within the last 2 months
. Prior malignancy within the past 3 years, with the exception of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, ductal carcinoma in situ of breast, in situ cervical carcinoma, and superficial bladder cancer
. Residual AEs \>Grade 2 from previous treatment
. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to C1D1 treatment, and/or prior diagnoses of congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV), unstable angina, unstable cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication; and/or the participant is at risk for polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (eg, hypokalemia, family history or long QT syndrome)
. Uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg confirmed upon repeated measures
. Left ventricular ejection fraction \<50% as determined by echocardiogram (ECHO) performed at screening or within 30 days prior to C1D1
. QT/QTc interval \>480 msec, before C1D1 treatment administration, as determined by screening electrocardiogram (ECG)
. Received anti-tumor therapy (chemotherapy, investigational product, radiotherapy, retinoid therapy, or hormonal therapy) within 2 weeks (less than 14 days) prior to C1D1 with no residual toxicity \>Grade 1; antibody therapy, molecular targeted therapy within 5 half-lives prior to C1D1
