Study Summary

This trial is testing how well pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride with atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab work in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that's resistant to platinum-based therapy. Participants must have good general health and psychological ability to complete the study, no more than two prior cancer treatments (excluding certain hormonal therapies), and agree to use contraception due to risks posed by the treatment on pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how well a chemotherapy drug called pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride works when combined with atezolizumab and/or bevacizumab. These drugs may help stop tumor growth by killing cells or preventing them from dividing or spreading. The effectiveness of different combinations will be compared in patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, nausea, increased risk of infection due to immune system suppression, potential harm to an unborn baby if pregnant while receiving treatment, allergic reactions related to monoclonal antibodies used in this study (atezolizumab and bevacizumab), as well as other organ-specific inflammation.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any patients currently enrolled in this trial?

"Currently, this clinical trial is not enrolling patients. The study was initially posted on May 12th, 2017 and most recently updated on September 23rd, 2022. There are 4450 other trials for patients with ovary cancer that are currently recruiting participants and 1019 trials involving Bevacizumab."

Answered by AI

Are there any other similar medical studies that have used Bevacizumab?

"Bevacizumab was first trialed in 1997 at Spectrum Health Hospital - Butterworth Campus. Since then, there have been 1876 completed follow-up trials. As of now, 1019 studies are still ongoing; a large concentration of these are based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado."

Answered by AI

Has this type of research been undertaken before?

"Alfacell completed the first clinical study on bevacizumab in 1997, which then allowed the drug to progress to phase 3 trials. Currently, there are 1019 active studies being conducted in 2789 cities across 83 countries."

What is the purpose of this research?

"The primary outcome of this trial is to Incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of experimental regimens. Secondary outcomes include Disease-related symptoms (Phase II) which is defined as Will be assessed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)- Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) ovarian symptom index (NFOSI)-18 disease-related symptoms (DRS). A repeated measures model will be used to estimate and compare the mean DRS-P scores for the treatment groups. Model covariates will include the patients' randomly assigned study treatment, age at enrollment onto the study, initial performance status,"

Answered by AI

What are the most common Bevacizumab treatments?

"Bevacizumab is used to treat advanced soft tissue sarcoma, as well as other conditions like skin infections from staphylococcus aureus or escherichia coli, and yaws."

Answered by AI

How many total participants are needed for this research project?

"This study is no longer recruiting patients. However, when it was active, the trial was posted on 5/12/2017 and last updated on 9/23/2022.
