Study summary

This is a study of the safety and efficacy of adavosertib in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin in the treatment of ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal tumors with the P53 mutation. In Part 1, a small group of participants will receive adavosertib along with paclitaxel plus carboplatin to establish the tolerability of adavosertib with this combination. In Part 2, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either adavosertib plus paclitaxel and carboplatin OR placebo plus paclitaxel and carboplatin to assess efficacy of adavosertib compared to placebo. The primary hypothesis of the study (Part 2) is that administration of adavosertib in combination with paclitaxel plus carboplatin in participants with platinum sensitive p53 mutant ovarian cancer will result in improvement in progression free survival (PFS) per enhanced Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (enhanced RECIST 1.1) compared to participants treated with paclitaxel plus carboplatin alone.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Part 2: Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) in Weeks Based on Enhanced Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (Enhanced RECIST 1.1) by Independent Radiology Review

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (based on blinded independent central radiologic review) or death, whichever occurred earlier. Tumor response was evaluated every 6 weeks during treatment by diagnostic anatomic imaging and objective response assessments were performed based on enhanced RECIST 1.1 criteria. According to enhanced RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was the appearance of one or more new lesions, OR an unambiguous increase in the sum of target lesion volumes with both 1) \>20% increase in the sum of volumes (SOV) of all target lesions (taking as reference the nadir) and 2) greater than two times the variability of the measurements estimated by the sponsor and/or its designees. PFS was analyzed for Part 2 participants only using the Kaplan-Meier method and median PFS was reported in weeks. Per protocol, Part 1 participants were not included in this analysis.

    Time frame: Up to 57 months

  2. Part 1: Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    DLTs assessed during first 21-day cycle of Part 1 and defined as toxicities that met pre-defined severity criteria, were possibly, probably, or definitely related to triplet therapy, and could possibly result in a change in the given dose. Hematologic DLTs included Grade (Gr) 3 or Gr 4 neutropenia with fever \>38.5°C and/or infection requiring antibiotic or anti-fungal treatment, and any Gr 4-5 hematological toxicity EXCEPT Gr 4 anemia, leukopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia lasting \<7 days, and thrombocytopenia lasting \<4 days, except if a platelet transfusion was required. Non-hematologic DLT defined as any Gr 3, 4, or 5 nonhematologic toxicity EXCEPT: Gr 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration judged by Investigator and SPONSOR to occur in setting of inadequate compliance with supportive care measures and last for less than 48 hours, alopecia of any grade, inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions, or clinically non-significant, treatable or reversible lab abnormalities.

    Time frame: During Cycle 1 of Part 1 (first 21 days)

  3. Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants That Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product was also an AE. The percentage of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm.

    Time frame: Part 1: Day 1 through Post Study (286 days total). Part 2: Day 1 through Post Study (479 days total)

  4. Parts 1 and 2: Percentage of Participants That Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE

    An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product was also an AE. The percentage of participants that discontinued study treatment (paclitaxel, carboplatin, or MK-1775) due to an AE was reported for each treatment arm.

    Time frame: Part 1: Day 1 through Post Study (286 days total). Part 2: Day 1 through Post Study (479 days total)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Part 1: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) Criteria Based on Both RECIST 1.1 and Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) Level by Independent Radiology Review

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants whose best response was confirmed partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) based both on imaging per RECIST 1.1 and on serum marker CA-125 level according to GCIC criteria. CR was defined by RECIST 1.1 as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have had reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined by RECIST 1.1 as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. A response according to CA-125 had occurred if there was ≥50% reduction in CA-125 levels from a pretreatment sample. The response must have been confirmed and maintained for at least 28 days. Participants could be evaluated according to CA-125 only if they had a pretreatment sample that was ≥2 times the upper limit of normal and within 2 weeks prior to starting treatment. Only evaluable Part 1 participants were included in this analysis.

    Time frame: Up to 57 months

  2. Part 2: Median PFS in Weeks Based on RECIST 1.1 by Independent Radiology Review

    PFS was defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (based on blinded independent central radiologic review) or death, whichever occurred earlier. Tumor response was evaluated every 6 weeks during treatment by diagnostic anatomic imaging and objective response assessments were performed based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. According to RECIST 1.1, progressive disease was the appearance of one or more new lesions, OR a ≥20% increase in the sum of target lesion diameters (SOD) taking as reference the nadir (smallest SOD recorded since treatment started). PFS was analyzed for all randomized participants in Part 2 using the Kaplan-Meier method and median PFS was reported in weeks. Per protocol, Part 1 participants were not included in this analysis.

    Time frame: Up to 57 months

  3. Part 2: ORR Per GCIG Criteria Based on Both Enhanced RECIST 1.1 and CA125 Level by Independent Radiology Review

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2011 to primary completion in Aug 2016, 60 months.

Results were first posted in Sep 2017, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 104 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Ovarian Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 51. This study's 60 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 307 studies reached it within 47 months; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 72.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
