A Study of Oral Gimatecan in Platinum-Resistant Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Peritoneal Cancer

A Phase II Study of Gimatecan in the Treatment of Platinum-resistant Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Peritoneal Cancer

This phase II clinical trial studies the safety and effect of Gimatecan in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer.

The chemotherapy will be given every four weeks.This study is a single-arm, multi-center research design.

The study had 3 phases: screening phase, treatment phase and follow-up phase. During the treatment phase, the drug will continue to be administered until the progression of disease, complete remission , unacceptable toxicity.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subjects were able to understand the informed consent, voluntarily participate in and sign the informed consent, with good compliance and cooperation with follow-up.

3. Previous systematic treatment ≤ 2 lines, and progression in platinum based regimens or recurrence within 6 months after the end of platinum regimen. 1) Imaging progression of recurrence and progression should be clearly recorded;2) Neoadjuvant + adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum regimen ≥ 6 cycles, and platinum regimen after recurrence / progression ≥ 4 cycles;3) If there is progression during the treatment of platinum based regimen, the treatment cycle is not limited;4) Recurrence / progression within 6 months after the end of neoadjuvant / adjuvant therapy is considered to have received the first-line systematic treatment.
