Phase 1

Waitlist Available

Led By Andrea E Wahner Hendrickson

Research Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)

Histologically confirmed high grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube malignancy that is metastatic and for which curative measures do not exist. The histology can be confirmed from tissue that was taken at the time of diagnosis. A biopsy at the time of recurrence prior to enrollment on study is not required

Must not have

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Patients with platinum resistant disease or platinum sensitive disease that is past the first or second recurrence

Timeline

Screening 3 weeks

Treatment Varies

Follow Up up to 3 years

No Placebo-Only Group

Summary

This trial is testing the combination of gemcitabine hydrochloride, berzosertib, and carboplatin to treat ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has returned and spread.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that's metastatic and beyond cure. Participants must have measurable disease, be in their first or second platinum-sensitive recurrence (recurrence >6 months after last platinum therapy), and have adequate organ function. They can't join if they've had more than two prior platinum treatments, recent chemotherapy/radiotherapy, known brain metastases, allergies to the drugs being tested, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or have certain genetic syndromes.

What is being tested?

The trial tests how well patients respond to a combination of Carboplatin and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride with Berzosertib versus standard treatment alone. It aims to find the best dose of these drugs together while assessing side effects when treating recurrent/metastatic ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include reactions related to cell growth inhibition by Berzosertib such as fatigue and digestive issues; typical chemotherapy-related effects from Carboplatin and Gemcitabine like nausea, low blood counts leading to infection risk; plus any specific organ inflammation due to drug interactions.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Treatment (carboplatin, gemcitabine hydrochloride, VX-970)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions

Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1, gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8, and berzosertib IV over 60 minutes on days 2 and 9. Cycles repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
