Testing the Use of A Single Drug (Olaparib) or the Combination of Two Drugs (Cediranib and Olaparib) Compared to the Usual Chemotherapy for Women With Platinum Sensitive Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Assess the efficacy of either single agent olaparib or the combination of cediranib (cediranib maleate) and olaparib, as measured by progression free survival (PFS), as compared to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the efficacy of single agent olaparib or the combination of cediranib and olaparib, as measured by response rate and overall survival as compared to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

II. Assess the efficacy of single agent olaparib or the combination of cediranib and olaparib, as measured by PFS, in women with or without deleterious germline breast cancer (BRCA) mutations (gBRCAmt) in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

III. Assess the effect on disease-related symptoms (DRS) as measured by the 9-item DRS-P subscale of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network-Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (NCCN-FACT) Ovarian Symptom Index-18 (NFOSI-18), of single agent olaparib or cediranib and olaparib, compared to standard platinum-based chemotherapy, in the setting of recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

IV. Assess the efficacy of single agent olaparib or the combination of cediranib and olaparib, as measured by PFS, in women with or without homologous repair deficiencies as measured by BROCA in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

V. To assess changes in the number of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) following three days of treatment with olaparib, combination olaparib/cediranib, or standard platinum-based chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

VI. To assess whether change in the number of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) following three days of treatment with olaparib, combination olaparib/cediranib, or standard platinum-based chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer is prognostic for PFS.

VII. To develop a profile from a panel of angiogenic biomarkers in women with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer which is associated with PFS, and then validate the predictive value of this biomarker profile.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the time from randomization to the first non-study, anti-cancer therapy, surgery or death (TFST) for single-agent olaparib or combination cediranib and olaparib relative to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

II. To assess the time from randomization to the second non-study, anti-cancer therapy, surgery or death (TSST) for single-agent olaparib or combination cediranib and olaparib relative to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the setting of recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

III. Assess the effect on secondary measures of quality of life, as assessed by the treatment side effects (TSE) and function/well-being (F/WB) subscales of the NFOSI-18, sensory neuropathy as measured by the FACT/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity version 4 (GOG-Ntx-4), and health utility as measured by the Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimension (EQ-5D), of single agent olaparib or cediranib and olaparib, compared to standard platinum-based chemotherapy, in the setting of recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients may be treated with one of the three regimens per investigator discretion.

REGIMEN I: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes and on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for at least 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) during screening. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial.

REGIMEN II: Patients receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8 and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 for at least 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo CT or MRI as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial.

REGIMEN III: Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride IV and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes and on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients also undergo CT or MRI as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial.

ARM II: Patients receive olaparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID). Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening. Patients also undergo CT or MRI as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial.

ARM III: Patients receive olaparib PO BID and cediranib maleate PO once daily (QD). Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO or MUGA during screening and as clinically indicated on study. Patients also undergo CT or MRI as well as blood sample collection throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
