Symptom BenefitANZGOG-0701 Does Palliative Chemotherapy Improve Symptom Control in Platinum Resistant Ovarian Cancer ,START UP MEETING FOR STAGE 2
Response Rates in Phase 3 Trials Patients with good PS entered into clinical trials- 2nd Line Therapy
Symptom Benefit Study Expectation is that Symptom Benefit > Response Rate ( otherwise why would we treat so many patients ) • How to best measure the impact of chemotherapy on symptom improvement ? • Can we use Symptom Benefit Measures as an alternative outcome measure • Can we identify patients most likely to benefit from palliative chemotherapy?
Stage 1-Primary Aim • The symptoms and aspects of HRQL that are rated as most severe, troublesome and important by patients. • The optimal items and questionnaire/s for measuring these improvements.
Study Schema • Target Population • >18yrs • platinum resistant/ refractory epithelial ovarian cancer • /> 3 lines of therapy • ECOG 0-3 • Able to commence treatment within 2wks of registration • Sufficient English to complete QoL forms • independently • Stage1 • 100 patients • Complete 7 QoL • forms • 20 subjects will • participate in • additional QoL • telephone interview Data Collection 4 Treatment cycles or Disease progression REGISTER
Stage 1 QoL Questionnaires • Symptom Representation Questionnaire • FACT-O (includes FOSI) • EORTC QLQ-C30 • EORTC QLQ-OV28 • Patient Data Form • Expected and Perceived Benefit Scale • HAD Scale (Baseline & End of Treatment) • Herth Hope Index (Baseline & End of Treatment only)
Results • Majority Platinum Resistant • Compliance 96% All questionnaires were completed to a very high compliance rate with few or no missing data
Patients “3 most noticed symptoms” and clinician rated AE’s at baseline
Improvement in quality of life (Prior to Cycle 3 N=72) Is your symptom improvement enough to affect your overall quality of life?
Stage 1-outcome Results have led to development of MOST(Measure of Ovarian cancer Symptoms and Treatment concerns) Modification of Patient Data Form COVERS ALL SYMPTOMS AND ASPECTS OF QOL IDENTIFIED IN STAGE 1
MOSTMeasure of Ovarian cancer Symptoms and Treatment concerns Comprises of 35 individual items on a discrete scale of 0-10, where major symptomatic distress is represented by 10. The first 15 items refer to disease symptoms Items 16 and 17 refer to physical and emotional well-being Item 18 is a question referring to overall well-being Items 19-35 deals with side effects and other concerns The study will examine the extent of clinical improvement by examining changes in these items from baseline at each time point- to determine MCID
Target Population • Informed consent • ≥18yrs • Platinum Resistant/Refractory • ECOG 0-3 • Life expectancy > 3 months • Able to commence treatment within 2wks of registration • Able to complete questionnaires independently R E G I S T E R • Data Collection • Baseline • Each treatment cycle • One month post completion of treatment or until disease progression Schema – Stage 2
Stage 2 Primary Objective To determine: The criteria for defining a clinically significant subjective improvement and the optimal instrument/s to measure benefit Secondary Objectives • The proportion of women benefiting from palliative chemotherapy • The time to symptom deterioration • The proportion of women who receive treatment because they are (a) symptomatic, (b) have rising tumor markers alone, or (c) have imaging evidence of disease progression • The percentage of patients who complete 4 or more cycles of treatment • The most common, most severe and most noticed symptoms as perceived by patients. • Develop a prognostic index
Stage 2 • MOST • FACT-O • EORTC QLQ C30 • EORTC OV28 • Expected and Perceived Benefits These forms will be completed at Baseline and after each cycle until chemotherapy ceases.
Recruitment The recruitment target is 600 evaluable patients (~780 enrolled patients) The estimated recruitment period is until December 2011 Currently there are 20 sites activated and 101 patients recruited with a further 40+ sites to open International participation Canada (additional sites) To be confirmed United Kingdom Japan Ireland Spain Germany Scandinavia Italy France USA- selected sites
