ABT-888 With Cyclophosphamide in Refractory BRCA-Positive Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal or Ovarian High-Grade Serous Carcinoma, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, and Low-Grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to test an experimental combination of two drugs, ABT-888 and Cyclophosphamide (CP), which we hope may eventually lead to promising new therapies for cancer.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with histologically documented: BRCA-positive ovarian cancer (documented deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation or a BRCAPRO score of ≥ 30%), primary peritoneal or ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma or fallopian tube cancer (no requirement for BRCA status), triple-negative breast cancer (documented ER negative, PR negative, and Her2/neu negative from the original pathology report if considered adequate, or per ASCO/CAP guidelines (51, 52)) with metastasis to distant sites, low-grade lymphoid malignancies (NHL) as described below, whose disease has progressed following at least one line of standard therapy: Follicle center lymphoma, follicular or diffuse—recurrent/refractory, Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: splenic, nodal, extranodal (this includes MALT)—recurrent/refractory, Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma—recurrent/refractory, SLL (absolute lymphocytes count below 5,000). Pathology must be confirmed by the registering institution. For patients who are eligible for the study due to a history of BRCA1/2 mutation, documented evidence of their mutation status must be provided prior to enrolling on the study.
  • Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥ 20 mm with conventional techniques or as ≥ 10 mm with spiral CT scan.
  • Any prior therapy or radiotherapy must have been completed ≥ 4 weeks (> 6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to enrollment on protocol, and the participant must have recovered to eligibility levels from prior toxicity. Patients must be ≥ 2 weeks since any investigational agent administered as part of a Phase 0 study, and should have recovered to eligibility levels from any toxicities.
  • Patients who have had prior treatment with any PARP inhibitors are eligible unless the PARP inhibitor was administered in combination with cyclophosphamide.
  • Patients with bone metastases or hypercalcemia on bisphosphonate treatment are eligible to participate.
  • Age ≥ 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of ABT-888 in patients < 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but may be eligible for future pediatric Phase I combination trials.
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70%.
  • Life expectancy > 3 months.
  • Additional Inclusion Criteria may apply.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Patients with germ cell and borderline ovarian epithelial tumors.
  • Patients who have received prior cyclophosphamide should not be excluded solely because of receiving prior cyclophosphamide.
  • Patients with history of CNS metastases who have received treatment and who have been on stable doses of anti-seizure medicine and had no seizures x 3 months will be eligible.
  • Additional Exclusion Criteria may apply.

  • Over-expression of cellular protooncogenes has been proposed to function in the initiation and maintenance of malignancies. In order to distinguish malignant lymphoma from reactive proliferative diseases, we surveyed the expression levels of three protooncogenes(c-myc, c-fos and c-myb) in malignant lymphoma and reactive proliferative diseases. An increased level of c-myc or c-fos mRNA was observed in one case, respectively, out of three malignant lymphomata. The other cases exhibited no enhancement in protooncogenes. These oncogenes are critically regulated during differentiation, but the half-life of c-myc mRNA was very short, and the level of the mRNA decreased to the initial level very quickly. Thus, the high level of the expression of these oncogenes may not always be maintained in all malignant cells. We then examined the level of mRNA for poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase in those cases. An enhanced expression for the synthetase gene was observed in all five malignant lymphomata tested, but no increase in the level of the mRNA was observed in any reactive proliferative cases or normal lymph nodes. These results suggest that enhanced expression of poly(ADP-ribose) synthetase gene seems to be a common characteristic of protopathic malignant lymphoma. By using the characteristics of malignant lymphoma, the level of mRNA for the synthetase may be applicable for differential diagnosis of malignant lymphoma from several pathologically indistinguishable diseases.
