E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Following establishment of MTD up to a total of 32 patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or mixed mullerian tumours of ovarian origin may be enrolled at the MTD dose level to confirm safety and to examine efficacy in this specific patient population. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To determine the pharmacokinetics of PXD101 and its effect on carboplatin and paclitaxel pharmacokinetics. Carboplatin and paclitaxel baselines will be defined from historical and/or literature data. To determine the pharmacodynamic effect of PXD101 in combination with carboplatin and/or paclitaxel on histone acetylation in peripheral mononuclear blood cells (selected sites) To explore anti-tumour activity of the combination of PXD101 plus carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors, and in the MTD expansion arm in patients with ovarian cancer in need of relapse treatment |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

Performance status (ECOG) ≤ 2 4. Life expectancy of at least 3 months 5. Age ≥ 18 years 6. Acceptable liver, renal and bone marrow function including the following: a. Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) b. AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) and Alkaline Phosphatase ≤ 3 times upper limit of normal (if liver metastases are present, then ≤ 5 x ULN is allowed) c. Measured EDTA renal clearance ≥ 45 mL/min (EU sites). At the US sites a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 45 mL/min using the Jeliffe formula. d. Leucocytes > 2.5 x 109/L, neutrophils > 1.0 x 109/L, platelets > 100 x 109/L e. Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL or > 5.6 mmol/l 7.

For men and women of child-producing potential, the use of effective contraceptive methods during the study is required. 9. Serum potassium within normal range
Additional eligibility criteria at the MTD expansion only 10. Patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, fallopian tube or mixed mullerian tumours of ovarian origin in need of relapse treatment 11. At least one uni-dimensional measurable lesion. Lesions must be measured by CT-scan or MRI according to RECIST
