| Abstract: | Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-2103, a novel conjugate of paclitaxel and poly-L-glutamic acid, in heavily pretreated patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. Patients and Methods: Ninety-nine patients with measurable disease received intravenous CT-2103 at 175 mg/m2 of conjugated paclitaxel over 10 minutes every 3 weeks without routine premedications. Platinum-sensitive (n = 42) and platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant patients (n = 57) were enrolled. Thirty-nine patients (39%) had received one or two prior regimens, and 60 patients (61%) had received between three and 12 regimens. Results: In 99 patients, the median number of cycles was three (range, one to 14 cycles). The response rate (RR) for all patients was 10% (10 of 99 patients), with median time to disease progression (TTP) of 2 months. The RR (partial response) in platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant patients was 14% (six of 42 patients) and 7% (four of 57 patients), respectively. In patients with only one or two prior regimens, the RR in platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant patients was 28% (five of 18 patients) and 10% (two of 21 patients), with a median TTP of 4 and 2 months, respectively. Grade 2(15 patients) or 3 (15 patients) neuropathy was reported in 30 patients (30%). Grade 2 hypersensitivity occurred in eight patients (8%) who were subsequently treated with premedications; one patient had grade 3 hypersensitivity and was removed. Grade 2 alopecia was absent. Conclusion: CT-2103 is active in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Neurotoxicity in these heavily pretreated patients was more frequent than predicted from phase I trials. Further study to define toxicity and efficacy in patients with less prior therapy is ongoing. © 2004 by American Society of Clinical Oncology. |
