The primary objective is to evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with intermittent or continuous regimens of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel compared with patients treated with nab-paclitaxel alone. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Efficacy
*To evaluate objective response rate (ORR)
*To evaluate duration of response (DoR)

*To evaluate PFS rate at 6 and 12 months
*To evaluate overall survival (OS)
*To evaluate PFS, ORR, DoR and best overall response (BoR) in patients who receive continuous relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel following progression on nab-paclitaxel (crossover)
* To assess response according to CA-125 using GCIG criteria in patients who crossover to continuous relacorilant+nab-paclitaxel
Safety
*To assess the safety of relacorilant treatment in combination with nab-paclitaxel
*To model the exposure-toxicity and exposure-response of relacorilant and nab-paclitaxel in each treatment arm to recommend a dosing regimen of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel

Patients of childbearing potential must use appropriate precautions to avoid pregnancy, defined as of nonchildbearing potential (i.e., postmenopausal or permanently sterilized) or using highly effective contraception with low user-dependency, for at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. A woman is postmenopausal if it is more than 12 months since her last menstruation, without an alternative medical cause. Accepted methods of permanent sterilization methods are hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy. Accepted methods of highly effective contraception with low user-dependency are:
An IUD, provided that the subject has tolerated its use for at least 3 months before the first dose of study medication and undertakes not to have it removed for 1 month after the last dose.
Abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, when it is in line with the subject’s preferred and usual lifestyle. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal is NOT acceptable.
Vasectomized partner provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success.
Oral hormonal contraceptives are NOT permitted. |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Clinically relevant toxicity from prior systemic anticancer therapies or radiotherapy that in the opinion of the Investigator has not resolved to Grade 1 or less prior to randomization.
2. Any major surgery within 4 weeks prior to randomization. If subject received major surgery including (curative or palliative surgery), they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
3. Treatment with the following prior to randomization:
Concurrent treatment with other anticancer therapy including other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, chemo-embolization, targeted therapy, an investigational agent or the non-approved use of a drug or device within 28 days before the first dose of study drug.
Hormonal anticancer therapies within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.
Systemic, inhaled, or prescription strength topical corticosteroids within 21 days of the first dose of study drug. Short courses (≤ 5 days) for non-cancer-related reasons are allowed if clinically required (such as prophylaxis for CT).
4. Received radiation to more than 25% of marrow-bearing areas.
5. Toxicities of prior therapies (except alopecia) that have not resolved to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0 ≤ Grade 1.

Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancers or non-muscle invasive urothelial cancer or other tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease are permissible.
14. Drugs with a narrow therapeutic ratio that are highly dependent on CYP3A for clearance should be avoided. Caution should be exercised when co-administering known inhibitors of CYP3A with relacorilant. Medicines/food known to strongly inhibit CYP3A should be avoided.
15. Concurrent treatment on other investigational treatment studies for the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
16. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy. Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., Flu-Mist®) are live attenuated vaccines, and are not allowed. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression free survival: the time from the date of randomization until the date of first documented PD by RECIST v1.1, (as determined by the Investigator at the local site) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Every 8 weeks (± 7 days) from Cycle 1, Day 1 irrespective of treatment delays until unequivocal PD is documented, including in patients who discontinue treatment prematurely. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• ORR: proportion of patients with measurable disease at baseline who attain complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST 1.1 (confirmation not required).
• DoR: time from when response (CR or PR) was first documented to first objectively documented PD or death (whichever occurs first)
• BoR: the best response recorded from the date of randomization until PD/recurrence (or death).
• CA-125 response will be assessed per GCIG criteria (Rustin 2011) defined as ≥50% reduction in CA-125 from a pre-treatment sample and maintained for ≥28 days in patients with a pretreatment sample that is at least twice the upper limit of the reference range and within 2 weeks before starting the treatment. In addition, patients who have a CA-125 response and whose CA 125 level falls to within the reference range will be classified as CA -125 complete responders.
• Combined response according to RECIST v1.1 + GCIG criteria. Response will be reported separately and combined for RECIST 1.1 and CA-125/GCIG criteria.
• Progression-free rate (proportion of patients who have not progressed) at 6 and 12 months
• PFS, ORR, DoR, BoR in patients who crossover to the continuous treatment regimen of relacorilant in combination with nab-paclitaxel from the time of PD (baseline for combination therapy) on nab-paclitaxel alone.
• Overall survival: time from randomization to death by any cause. |
