Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

As \< 10% of the necessary patients required by the protocol were recruited and the data were not intended to support a labeling claim, it was determined that the abbreviated clinical study report (CSR) was the appropriate reporting format. No efficacy analyses were performed as the trial was terminated early with incomplete enrollment of \< 10%. The purpose of this study is to determine if an investigational cell therapy called Cvac can help epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) from returning when administered to patients who are in complete remission after surgical removal of their tumor followed by standard first-line (Part A) or second-line (Part B) chemotherapy. Following remission, patients will undergo leukapheresis for the manufacture of the study agent. After completion of chemotherapy and confirmation of remission, patients will enter the treatment phase of the study.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Part A - Overall Survival

    Time frame · Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years, 2 months)

    Registry description

    Overall survival was defined as the number of days from Baseline to the date of death from any cause.

Secondary outcomes(5)
  1. Part A - Time to Next Treatment

    Time frame · Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years, 2 months)

    Registry description

    Time to next treatment was defined as the number of days from Baseline to the date when the next treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer was started.

  2. Part A - Progression-free Survival

    Time frame · Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years, 2 months)

    Registry description

    Progression-free survival was defined as the number of days from Baseline and the documented disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) or death, whichever occurred earlier. Disease progression was defined as any measurable new lesion(s) that were accurately measured in at least 1 dimension. Any new lesion(s) with a minimum size of 20 mm were deemed as unequivocal (ie, clear or definite) progression. Any new lesion(s) with a minimum size of 15 mm but smaller than 20 mm were considered equivocal progression and had to be confirmed by a follow-up radiological procedure.

  3. Part B - Overall Survival

    Registry description

    Overall survival was defined as the number of days from Baseline to the date of death from any cause.

  5. Part B - Progression-free Survival

    Time frame · Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years, 2 months)

    Registry description

    Progression-free survival was defined as the number of days from Baseline and the documented disease progression as defined by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) or death, whichever occurred earlier. Disease progression was defined as any measurable new lesion(s) that were accurately measured in at least 1 dimension.
