GOG-0186H (NCI / GOG Trial)

Intravenous Administration of REOLYSIN® in Combination with Paclitaxel for Patients with Persistent or Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

In December 2010, Oncolytics announced that the Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) had started enrollment in a randomized Phase II trial of weekly paclitaxel versus weekly paclitaxel with REOLYSIN^® in patients with persistent or recurrent, ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer (GOG-0186H). The study is being sponsored by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) under its Clinical Trials Agreement with Oncolytics, with Oncolytics providing clinical supplies of REOLYSIN^®.
 
The primary objectives of the trial are to estimate the progression-free survival hazard ratio of the combination of weekly paclitaxel with REOLYSIN^® to weekly paclitaxel alone in patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer and to determine the frequency and severity of adverse events associated with treatment with weekly paclitaxel alone and weekly paclitaxel with REOLYSIN^® as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). The secondary objectives are to estimate the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with weekly paclitaxel alone and weekly paclitaxel with REOLYSIN^®, to estimate (and compare) the proportion of patients who respond to the regimen on each arm of the study (according to RECIST 1.1 with measurable patients and by CA-125 for those patients with detectable disease only), and to characterize and compare progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1 criteria) and patients with detectable (non-measurable) disease.
