Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Stage 1: Dose Limiting Toxicities

Number of participants with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in Stage 1

Time frame: Up to 12 months

Stage 2: Progression Free Survival

Progression free survival (PFS) time was defined as the time interval from the date of the first dose of study medication until the earlier of disease progression or death. Participants were treated with their assigned treatment \[guadecitabine+carboplatin (G+C) or treatment choice (TC)\] until disease progression or unacceptable treatment-related toxicity occurred.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes

Objective Response Rate

The objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of participants who experienced an objective response (best overall response of complete response/full response or partial response, which was confirmed by a subsequent assessment at least 28 days later). Response categories were determined based on RECIST v1.1 criteria, or on modified Rustin (CA-125) criteria if response assessment could not be made using RECIST criteria.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Progression Free Survival at 6 Months

Progression free survival rate at 6 months is the proportion of participants who were alive and did not have disease progression at 6 months after start of treatment.

Time frame: 6 months

Clinical Benefit Rate

Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was defined as the proportion of subjects who experienced a best overall response of complete response/full response or partial response (confirmed by a subsequent assessment at least 28 days later), or documented stable disease for at least 3 months after the first dose. Response categories were determined based on RECIST v1.1 criteria, then based on modified Rustin (CA-125) criteria if assessment could not be made using RECIST criteria.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

CA-125 Levels

Percentage of participants with CA-125 reduction by ≥ 50% from baseline

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Duration of Response

Duration of response is defined as the time between the date of the first documentation of complete response/full response or partial response, and the date of disease progression or date of death due to any cause, or the last adequate tumor assessment prior to the start of subsequent anti-cancer therapy including crossing over to G+C from TC arm, whichever occurred earlier. Only participants who responded were included in the duration of response calculation.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Overall Survival

Overall survival was defined as the number of days from the day the participant was administered the first dose of study treatment to the date of death (regardless of cause). Survival time was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive or lost to follow-up before reaching the event of death; in the TC group, time was censored at the date of crossover.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Stage 1: Pharmacokinetic Parameter Cmax

Time to maximum plasma concentration for guadecitabine, decitabine and carboplatin

Time frame: Pre-dose and up to 8 hours post-dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 for guadecitabine and decitabine and Day 8 for carboplatin (28 day cycles)

Stage 1: Pharmacokinetic Parameter Tmax

Time to last measurable concentration for guadecitabine, decitabine and carboplatin

Time frame: Pre-dose and up to 8 hours post-dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 for guadecitabine and decitabine and Day 8 for carboplatin (28 day cycles)

Stage 1: Pharmacokinetic Parameter AUC0-8

Area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 8 hours (AUC0-8) for guadecitabine, decitabine and carboplatin

Time frame: Pre-dose and up to 8 hours post-dose on Cycle 1 Day 1 for guadecitabine and decitabine and Day 8 for carboplatin (28 day cycles)

Methylomic Signatures of High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) harbours aberrant epigenetic features, including DNA methylation. In this study we delineate pathways and networks altered by DNA methylation and associated with HGSOC initiation and progression to a platinum-resistant state. By including tumours from patients who had been treated with the hypomethylating agent (HMA) guadecitabine, we also addressed the role of HMAs in treatment of HGSOC. Tumours from patients with primary (platinum-naïve) HGSOC (n = 20) were compared to patients with recurrent platinum-resistant HGSOC and enrolled in a recently completed clinical trial (NCT01696032). Human ovarian surface epithelial cells (HOSE; n = 5 samples) served as normal controls. Genome-wide methylation profiles were determined. DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) expression levels were examined by immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinical outcomes. Cancer-related and tumorigenesis networks were enriched among differentially methylated genes (DMGs) in primary OC vs. HOSE. When comparing platinum-resistant and primary tumours, 452 CpG island (CGI)-containing gene promoters acquired DNA methylation; of those loci, decreased (P < 0.01) methylation after HMA treatment was observed in 42% (n = 189 CGI). Stem cell pluripotency and cytokine networks were enriched in recurrent platinum-resistant OC tumours, while drug metabolism and transport-related networks were downregulated in tumours from HMA-treated patients compared to HOSE. Lower DNMT1 and 3B protein levels in pre-treatment tumours were associated with improved progression-free survival. The findings provide important insight into the DNA methylation landscape of HGSOC tumorigenesis, platinum resistance and epigenetic resensitization. Epigenetic reprogramming plays an important role in HGSOC aetiology and contributes to clinical outcomes.

A Randomized Phase II Trial of Epigenetic Priming with Guadecitabine and Carboplatin in Platinum-resistant, Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Abstract Purpose: Platinum resistance in ovarian cancer is associated with epigenetic modifications. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) have been studied as carboplatin resensitizing agents in ovarian cancer. This randomized phase II trial compared guadecitabine, a second-generation HMA, and carboplatin (G+C) against second-line chemotherapy in women with measurable or detectable platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Patients and Methods: Patients received either G+C (guadecitabine 30 mg/m2 s.c. once-daily for 5 days and carboplatin) or treatment of choice (TC; topotecan, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine) in 28-day cycles until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were RECIST v1.1 and CA-125 response rate, 6-month PFS, and overall survival (OS). Results: Of 100 patients treated, 51 received G+C and 49 received TC, of which 27 crossed over to G+C. The study did not meet its primary endpoint as the median PFS was not statistically different between arms (16.3 weeks vs. 9.1 weeks in the G+C and TC groups, respectively; P = 0.07). However, the 6-month PFS rate was significantly higher in the G+C group (37% vs. 11% in TC group; P = 0.003). The incidence of grade 3 or higher toxicity was similar in G+C and TC groups (51% and 49%, respectively), with neutropenia and leukopenia being more frequent in the G+C group. Conclusions: Although this trial did not show superiority for PFS of G+C versus TC, the 6-month PFS increased in G+C treated patients. Further refinement of this strategy should focus on identification of predictive markers for patient selection.
