Losartan and Paclitaxel in Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer

Prior treatment

• Has adverse events (AEs) from prior anti-cancer therapy that have not resolved to Grade ≤ 1, except alopecia.
• Subjects with asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases are eligible provided they have been clinically stable and not requiring steroid for at least 4 weeks.
• Serious concomitant systemic disorders incompatible with the study (at the discretion of the investigator), such as significant cardiac or pulmonary morbidity e.g. congestive heart failure, symptomatic coronary artery disease and cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with medication) or myocardial infarction within the last 3 months.
• Received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study treatment or requiring a live vaccine during the study.
• Subjects with baseline systolic blood pressure ≤ 95 or diastolic blood pressure ≤ 60 obtained on two separate days prior to study enrollment.
• Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension at baseline defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110 on two readings obtained on two separate days prior to study enrollment.
• Presence of any serious or unstable concomitant systemic disorder incompatible with the clinical trial (e.g., substance abuse; psychiatric disturbance; or uncontrolled intercurrent illness including active infection, arterial thrombosis, and symptomatic pulmonary embolism).

Other illness

• Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac disease.
• Active infection requiring therapy or has a known history of positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or positive Hepatitis C antibody with detected Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA. No testing for Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C is required.
• History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to paclitaxel.
• Subjects with a history of orthostasis or syncope.
• Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity, allergy or intolerance to ACE/ARB inhibitors.
• Presence of any other condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into the study.

Lab values

• Essential hypertension or any other condition currently being treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)/angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) inhibitor, calcium channel blocker, diuretic or any other antihypertensive agent.

Other

• Females who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy at baseline or screening.

• The subject must be 18 years of age.
• Subjects with histologically/cytologically confirmed advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Subjects with mucinous carcinoma and low-grade serous carcinoma are not eligible.
• Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as ≥20 mm (≥2 cm) by chest x-ray or as ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam.
• Subject is able to provide written, informed consent before initiation of any study related procedures, and is able, in the opinion of the investigator, to comply with all the requirements of the study.
• Subject has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.
• Subject has adequate organ function at screening:
  • absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mm3 without the use of hematopoietic growth factors.
• platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3. iii) hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (must be at least 1 weeks post-red blood cell transfusion and not receiving erythropoietic-stimulating agents).
• total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN). For subjects with documented Gilbert's disease, total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 mg/dL is allowed.
• serum albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL vi) serum creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40 mL/min, using Cockcroft and Gault vii) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN in the absence of documented liver metastases; ≤ 5 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases.
• Prior to study Day 1 (first study treatment administration), subject must be:
  • at least 4 weeks after the most recent biologic (antibody-based) or immunotherapy ii) at least 2 weeks after any prior chemotherapy or targeted small molecule therapy
• Subjects must have platinum resistant ovarian cancer defined as disease recurrence \< 6 months after completion of a platinum-containing regimen. Patients with primary platinum refractory disease are eligible. Primary platinum refractory disease is defined as progression of disease prior to completion of 1st line platinum therapy or immediately following (≤ 3 months following last date of chemotherapy).
• Subjects will have received ≤4 prior lines for platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC); maintenance bevacizumab or poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase (PARP) are not included as a line of therapy.
• Subjects who are eligible for bevacizumab, mirvetuximab, or PARP inhibitor therapy must have received these treatments. For patients who are ineligible for these treatments or those who decline, this must be documented in the records.
