E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of masitinib in combination with gemcitabine versus gemcitabine alone in advanced / metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer patients in second line being refractory to first line platinum treatment or in third line. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS) of the patient. Secondary objectives includes: Secondary endpoints • Survival rate every 6 months • Progression Free Survival (PFS) • PFS rate week every 8 weeks • Time To Progression (TTP) • TTP rate every 8 weeks • Best response rate during the study, • Disease control rate (CR + PR + SD) • Tumor biomarkers levels (CA 125) • Quality of Life every 8 weeks • Pharmacogenomic assessment of selected genes • Safety profile using the CTCAE v4.03 classification

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
1.Pharmacogenomic assessments (relationship between genomic data and all efficacy variables,survival and tumor assessment) a)Blood sample. This ancillary study is aimed at finding potential DNA mutations, amplification and/or deletion that might explain short or long survival, side effects and treatment response. RNA expression patterns will also be studied thorough RNA analyses performed on peripheral blood. b) Biopsies. The tumor biopsies of all patients participating to this study and willing to take part to this Pharmacogenomic study will be collected at baseline.
2.In case a patient experiences either severe neutropenia or severe skin toxicity, an optional Pharmacogenomic blood sample would be collected. A genetic analysis will be conducted in order to better understand why patients are presenting these side effects. The samples collected will be analysed for polymorphism (point mutations) in relation to neutropenia and skin toxicity reactions.
Biopsy analysis and blood sample collected due to neutropenia/skin toxicity are optional. RNA analysis is mandatory. |

In addition, a barrier method (condom or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical/vault caps] used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository) should also be used; · Double barrier method: Condom and occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository; · Any other contraceptive method with a documented failure rate of <1% per year; · Abstinence when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. 11.

Patient is able to understand, sign, and date the written informed consent form at the screening visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures performed. 13. Patient able to understand the patient card and to follow the patient card procedures in case of signs or symptoms of severe neutropenia or severe cutaneous toxicity. |
