This is a Phase II, randomized, multi-centre study aiming at comparing the efficacy of Olaparib and Cediranib vs. weekly Paclitaxel in terms of progression free survival (PFS) in platinum refractory or resistant recurrent ovarian cancer.
Patients will be randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio to three treatment arms:
Both the experimental arms (Arm B and C) will be compared with Arm A in terms of PFS.
If both superior to the control (Arm A), they will be compared in terms of gastrointestinal safety.
Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function measured within 28 days prior to administration of study treatment as defined below:
Evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential (negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 28 days of study treatment, confirmed prior to treatment on day 1 or postmenopausal women. Postmenopausal status is defined as:
Exclusion Criteria:
Intravenous administration of weekly Paclitaxel (dosage: 80 mg/mq) for a maximum of 6 cycles. Cycle is defined as 4 weeks.
Drug: Paclitaxel
Oral administration of two experimental drugs: * Cediranib 20 mg/day given 7 days per week * Olaparib 600 mg / day (i.e. 300 mg twice a day) 7 days per week until progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue or death.
Drug: Cediranib · Drug: Olaparib
Oral administration of two experimental drugs: * Cediranib 20 mg/day given 5 days per week * Olaparib 600 mg / day (i.e. 300 mg twice a day) 7 days per week until progression, unacceptable toxicity, patient or physician decision to discontinue or death.
Drug: Cediranib · Drug: Olaparib

Efficacy: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as time from randomization to the date of first progression or death for any cause, whichever comes first. Progression was established as the radiological disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 (as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions") or to clinical assessment in case radiological evaluation is not feasible due to clinical condition.
Time frame: An average of 30 months for each participant
Safety: Number of Evacuations Per Day
Number of evacuations per day used as an index of gastro-intestinal toxicity profile of experimental drugs
Time frame: Evacuation were collected daily for the first four weeks of treatment of experimental drugs
Efficacy: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Percentage of patients with an objective response as determined by RECIST 1.1
Time frame: Disease assessments were scheduled every 8 weeks (+/- 1 week) from randomization for all treatment duration (an average of 3.5 months).
Efficacy: PFS2
PFS2 is defined as time from first progression to the date of second progression or death for any cause, whichever comes first.
Time frame: Up to one year after the last patient enrolled
Efficacy: Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as time from randomization to the date of death for any cause
Time frame: Up to one year after the last patient enrolled
Efficacy: Quality of Life
Quality of Life evaluated by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian (FACT-O) questionnaire
Time frame: Up to sixth month of study treatment
Safety: Maximum Toxicity Grade
Maximum toxicity grade experienced by each patient, for each toxicity, according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03
Time frame: Up to 30 days after the end of treatment
Safety: Number of Patients Experiencing Grade 3-4 Toxicity for Each Toxicity
Number of patients experiencing grade 3-4 toxicity for each toxicity according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03
Time frame: Adverse events were collected at the end of each cycle for the duration of treatment for each participant (an average of 3.5 months) and following 30 days after the end of treatment.
Safety: Type, Frequency and Nature of SAEs
Type, frequency and nature of SAEs, according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03
Time frame: Up to 30 days after the end of treatment
Safety: Number of Patients With at Least a SAE; Patients With at Least a SADR
Number of patients with at least a SAE; patients with at least a SADR, according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03
Time frame: Up to 30 days after the end of treatment
Safety: Number of Patients With at Least a SUSAR
Number of patients with at least a SUSAR, according to NCI-CTCAE v. 4.03
Time frame: Up to 30 days after the end of treatment
Compliance: Number of Administered Cycles
The endpoint for compliance is the number of administered cycles.
Time frame: Up to one year after the last patient enrolled
Compliance: Reasons for Discontinuation and Treatment Modification
The endpoints for compliance are the reasons for discontinuation and treatment modification.
Time frame: Up to one year after the last patient enrolled
Compliance: Dose Intensity
Entire dose administered during treatment
Time frame: Up to one year after the last patient enrolled
The study was approved and activated in 7 experimental sites. The enrolment was closed on 18th October 2018 with the inclusion of 123 patients.
