General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To determine the anti-cancer activity of 6MP with low dose Methotrexate in patients with breast, ovarian, fallopian tube or primary serous peritoneal cancer and a known BRCA mutation.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
The trial received ethical and regulatory approval, and was run in compliance with the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004, and amendments thereafter, the guidelines for Good Clinical Practice, and the applicable policies of the Sponsor, the University of Oxford. Together, these regulations implement the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki (2008) and the regulatory requirements for clinical trials of an investigational medicinal product as set out in the European Union (EU) Directives 001/20/EC (Clinical Trials) and 2005/28/EC (GCP). Patients also were seen for study assessments up to 28 days post end of treatment and thereafter every 3 months for clinical assessment up to a total of 12 months.

Background therapy |
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are critical in homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair and have been implicated in familial breast and ovarian cancer tumorigenesis. In a screen for novel drugs that selectively kill BRCA-defective cells, Helleday and colleagues identified 6-thioguanine (6TG). They demonstrated that 6TG induces DNA double-strand breaks that are repaired by HR. The defect in HR explains the hypersensitivity of BRCA-defective cells to 6TG. Furthermore, this pre-clinical study showed that 6TG is as efficient as the PARP inhibitor, AG014699, in selectively killing BRCA-defective tumours in a xenograft model. Importantly, 6TG also kills cisplatin-resistant or PARP inhibitor resistant BRCA- defective cells. The findings of Helledey and colleagues suggest that 6TG/6MP might be an effective treatment in BRCA deficient tumours even after developing resistance to PARP inhibitors or platinum drugs. | ||

Recruitment
|
|||||||
Recruitment details |
74 patients were consented and registered from 14 UK sites between May 2011 and October 2014, and 67 of these registered patients were found to be evaluable. This is larger than the planned sample size of 65 patients, to compensate for unevaluable patients. | ||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||
Screening details |
Over 130 patients with advanced ovarian or breast cancer were screened for eligibility from 14 UK sites between May 2011 and October 2014. | ||||||

Overall response rate [1] | ||||||
End point description |
Objective response defined as complete response, partial response and stable disease as measured by radiological disease response using RECIST criteria v1.1 (Appendix 3 of the protocol) with tumour size measured radiologically with computerised tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (using the same at baseline and at follow-up).

Notes [1] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point. Justification: Point estimate of proportion of patients responding to treatment at 8 weeks is 0.33 (95% CI 0.23-0.45). Tried to enter this result but EudraCT wouldn't accept it as a statistical analysis because it is not comparing two arms, but it is only a one armed trial. |

Limitations and caveats |

Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data. | |||
The EudraCT system will not allow us to enter the results of all secondary endpoints, i.e. Assessment of feasibility as a multi-centre study. Quality of life, a secondary endpoint, could not be analysed due to the low questionnaire completion rate. |
