AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adult women with platinum-resistant high-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer whose tumor is positive for cyclin E1 protein. It compares azenosertib with chemotherapy chosen by the doctor.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- Women only
- Disease stage
- High-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that resists platinum treatment and can be measured on scans (RECIST Version 1.1). ECOG performance status 0-1.
- Earlier treatment
- 1 to 3 earlier lines of treatment (1 to 4 if mirvetuximab was given). Earlier bevacizumab, a PARP inhibitor (if BRCA 1/2 mutation or HRD) and mirvetuximab are required if allowed by standard of care. No earlier azenosertib or other WEE1, ATR, CHK1/2 or PKMYT1 inhibitors.
- Biomarker or test result
- Tumor tissue must be positive for cyclin E1 protein, shown by the sponsor's cyclin E1 IHC test.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Cancer that never responded to first platinum treatment (primary platinum-refractory)
- Another cancer in the past 2 years, with some exceptions
- Serious illness, such as unstable brain metastases, heart failure (NYHA Class II-IV) or bowel obstruction
- Immunocompromised, HIV-positive on antiretroviral therapy, or active hepatitis B or C
- Chemotherapy or targeted therapy within 21 days, or major surgery within 28 days
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 19 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Female age ≥ 18 years
- High-grade serous epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer
- Measurable disease per RECIST Version 1.1
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score 0-1
- The subject's tumor tissue must be positive for cyclin E1 protein expression per the Sponsor's clinically validated cyclin E1 IHC investigational, in vitro diagnostic assay
- Prior Therapy:; Subject must have platinum-resistant disease; One to 3 prior lines or regimens are allowed (1 to 4 prior lines are permitted, if prior mirvetuximab); Prior bevacizumab treatment is required, if eligible per standard of care; Prior PARP inhibitor treatment is required if BRCA 1/2 mutation or HRD, if eligible per standard of care; Prior mirvetuximab treatment is required, if eligible per standard of care
- Adequate hematologic and organ function during the screening period
Who cannot take part
- Prior therapy with azenosertib or any other WEE1 inhibitor, ATR inhibitor, CHK1/2 inhibitor, or (PKMYT1) inhibitor for PROC
- Any of the following treatment interventions within the specified time frame before randomization:; Hospitalization within 14 days; Major surgery within 28 days; Any chemotherapy or targeted tumor therapy within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter); Radiation therapy within 21 days; Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within 3 months; Current use of any other investigational drug therapy < 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter)
- Inability to discontinue treatment with prescription or nonprescription drugs that are prohibited per protocol
- Prior wide-field radiotherapy affecting ≥ 20% of the bone marrow
- Unresolved toxicity of Grade > 1 attributed to any prior therapies (excluding Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy, alopecia, or skin pigmentation)
- History of another malignancy in the previous 2 years, unless cured by surgery alone and continuously disease-free. Exceptions include appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, nonmelanoma skin carcinoma, Stage 1 uterine cancer, or other malignancies with an expected curative outcome
- Subjects with primary platinum-refractory disease
- Subjects who are immunocompromised or HIV-positive on highly active anti-retroviral therapy
- Subjects with known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection
- A serious illness or medical condition(s) including, but not limited to, the following:; Clinically or radiographically unstable brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease that requires immediate treatment. Subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases are eligible; Acute kidney injury requiring intervention, or presence of indwelling urinary catheter or percutaneous nephrostomy; Significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, including an inability to take oral medication, requirement for IV alimentation, active peptic ulcer, chronic diarrhea or vomiting considered to be clinically significant in the judgment of the Investigator, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption; Any evidence of small bowel obstruction as determined by air/fluid levels on computed tomography (CT) scan, recent hospitalization for small bowel obstruction within 3 months before randomization, or recurrent paracentesis or thoracentesis within 6 weeks before randomization; Active, uncontrolled infection. Subjects with an infection receiving treatment (antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral) must have completed such treatment and the infection must be considered controlled/resolved (and afebrile) by the Investigator for at least 7 days before randomization; Myocardial impairment of any cause resulting in heart failure by New York Heart Association criteria (Class II, III or IV); Medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results
- Inability to discontinue consumption of food and herbal supplements that are prohibited per protocol
- Individuals who are judged by the Investigator to be unsuitable as study subjects
