E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The principal question of the study will assess the effectiveness of TroVax® versus placebo in extending time to progression in asymptomatic relapsed ovarian cancer patients, as measured on CT or MRI scans using RECIST 1.1/irRC criteria.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To assess delayed response by measurement of repeat CT scan using immune-related response criteria (irRC) • Progression-free survival (interval from randomisation/registration to progression), defined as: o Time when clinical intervention is required or o Confirmed evidence of progression as measured by RECIST 1.1/irRC criteria o And also death from any cause • Time to clinical intervention (for the treatment of symptoms of progression)or time to death • Incidence of clinical intervention at 25 weeks • CA-125 blood biomarker doubling time • Overall survival (time between randomisation/registration and death from any cause) • Patient reported quality of life measured by standardised questionnaires (EORTC QLQ C-30, EORTC QLQ OV-28)
Immunological Endpoint • Antibody and cellular responses against the 5T4 tumour antigen and MVA viral vector
Safety Endpoints • Toxicity related to treatment with TroVax® versus Placebo • Incidence and nature of clinically significant abnormal l |

The following are acceptable: Subcapsular liver and splenic lesions, benign lesions or cysts, any suspicious lesions that may represent metastases have to be confirmed by further imaging to be non-metastatic. • Currently asymptomatic and does not require chemotherapy. • Subject is assumed to be clinically immunocompetent and is free of clinically apparent/active autoimmune disease (i.e. no prior confirmed diagnosis or treatment for autoimmune disease including Systemic Lupus Erythematosis, Grave’s disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis). Note: subjects with type I or type II diabetes mellitus can be included, as can subjects with controlled and rarely flaring rheumatoid disease (defined as recent flare within 6 months prior to registration) • Subject has adequate bone marrow function as defined by Haemoglobin ≥ 110 g/L, white cell count ≥ 3.0 x 109/L, Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) ≥ 1.0 x 109/L, Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1.5 x 109/L , Platelet Count ≥ 100 x 109/L and <400 x 109/L, Monocytes <0.8 x 109/L (for patients who have undergone previous splenectomy monocyte count can be < 1.2 x 109/L) • Adequate end-organ function: creatinine ≤ 2x upper limit of normal, AST and/or ALT ≤ 2x upper limit of normal, Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5x upper limit normal • ECOG performance status 0-1 • Life expectancy ≥6 months and willing to be available to attend clinic visits for treatment and for follow-up • Ability to give written informed consent • To be treated no later than 14 days from registration
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Carcino-sarcoma/MMMT • Cancer related symptoms, or disease recurrence requiring immediate treatment • CT scan showing bulky disease requiring chemotherapy, as judged by the investigator • Patients with low volume radiological disease in any of the following sites at trial entry: - Accumulating ascites thought to require drainage within the next 2 months - Pleural effusion thought to require drainage within the next 2 months - Intraparenchymal Liver and/or splenic metastases • Major surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy or chemotherapy completed < 4 weeks prior to registration • Patients who are deemed as being immunosuppressed, receiving > 4 weeks parenteral or oral steroids, (nasal sprays and inhalers are permitted), or receiving immunosuppressive therapy following transplant • Chronic (≥ 6 months) oral corticosteroid use except when prescribed as replacement therapy in the case of adrenal insufficiency. If previously used for ≥6 months then must have discontinued ≥3 months prior to registration • “Currently active” second malignancy, other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Subjects are not considered to have a "currently active” malignancy if they have completed chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy ≥3 years previously and have no known evidence of residual or recurrent disease • Concomitant use of complementary medicines/botanicals. Supplements and conventional multivitamins are acceptable. • Evidence of significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding which in the opinion of the investigator makes it undesirable for the patient to participate in the trial. No participant should have a serious or uncontrolled intercurrent infection (including those positive for HIV, hepatitis B or C) • Psychiatric illnesses/social situations that limit compliance with protocol requirements • Allergy to egg proteins or history of allergic response to vaccinia vaccines • Prior exposure to TroVax® • Cerebral metastases (known from previous investigations or clinically detectable, surgically resected) • Patients on active treatment as part of another clinical trial
