Trial Information

A Phase II Study Of Single Agent Depsipeptide (FK228) In Recurrent, Platinum Sensitive Adeno-Carcinoma Of The Ovary Or Peritoneum


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the response rate in patients with recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian
epithelial or peritoneal cavity cancer treated with FR901228 (depsipeptide).

- Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive FR901228 (depsipeptide) IV over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses
repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-51 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed primary ovarian epithelial or peritoneal
cavity cancer

- Histologic confirmation of recurrent disease not required

- Measurable disease, defined as ≥ 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 20 mm by
conventional techniques (including palpation, plain x-ray, CT scan, or MRI) OR ≥ 10
mm by spiral CT scan

- Achieved a complete response after initial prior platinum-containing (cisplatin or
carboplatin) chemotherapy regimen (e.g., conventional-dose therapy, high-dose
therapy, consolidation therapy, or extended therapy after surgical or nonsurgical
assessment)

- Patients who have not received paclitaxel or docetaxel as initial therapy may
receive a second regimen containing these drugs

- No prior chemotherapy for persistent or recurrent disease, including
re-treatment with the original regimen

evidence of progressive disease for > 6 but < 12 months after completion of a
platinum-based regimen
