Phase II Study of Utidelone Plus Fruquintinib Combination Therapy for Platinum-Resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

Preliminary Phase II Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of the Combination of Utidelone Capsules and Fruquintinib Capsules in the Treatment of Platinum Resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

This study is a Prospective, Single-arm, Phase 2 clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to find out if taking Utidelone Capsules together with Fruquintinib Capsules is safe and works well for people with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer . Researchers will look at the Objective Response Rate, Progression-Free Survival, Overall Survival, safety, and any side effects.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subjects were fully informed, voluntarily signed the informed consent, and were willing and able to follow the planned visit, research treatment plan, laboratory examination and other research procedures.
2. Female subjects aged ≥ 18 and ≤ 70 at the time of signing the informed consent.
3. Malignant epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer were confirmed by histology or pathology.
4. Subjects had at least one measurable lesion defined by RECIST v1.1.
5. The number of lines of previous systematic anti-tumor treatment ≤ 3 (neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy are not considered as previous systematic treatment, unless disease progression occurs during its chemotherapy or within 6 months after the last chemotherapy).
6. ECoG physical status score was 0 or 1.
7. The baseline examination confirmed that there was sufficient bone marrow and organ function, and no relevant supportive treatment, such as gcs-f, EPO or blood transfusion, was used within 14 days before the laboratory examination in the screening period. (see the table on the next page for specific indicators)
8. The expected survival time was more than 12 weeks.
9. Fertile patients must agree to use reliable contraceptive methods (hormone or barrier method or abstinence) with their partners during the trial and at least 3 months after the last medication; The blood or urine pregnancy test of female patients of childbearing age must be negative before enrollment.

7. Patients with peripheral neuropathy with CTCAE 5.0 rating ≥ 2.

8. The adverse reactions of previous anti-tumor treatment have not recovered to CTCAE 5.0 grade evaluation ≤ 1 (except for the toxicity without safety risk judged by researchers such as hair loss).

9. Patients who have previously received eutidylon or antiangiogenic drugs (except bevacizumab).

10. Urine protein detection 2+or more, or 24-hour urine protein quantitation ≥ 1.0g/24h.

11. There were symptoms or thyroid dysfunction requiring treatment at the time of screening.

12. Patients with obvious evidence of bleeding tendency or medical history within 2 months before the first use of the study drug, such as black stool, hematemesis, hemoptysis, occult blood in stool++, etc.

13. Subjects with active central nervous system metastasis.

14. Cancerous ascites with clinical symptoms requiring puncture and drainage; Or those who received drainage for the purpose of treatment within 30 days before the first use of the study drug.

15. During screening, it was found that the tumor invaded the structure of large blood vessels, such as pulmonary artery, superior vena cava or inferior vena cava, and the researchers judged that there was a high risk of bleeding; Or there is a history of previously known aneurysms.

16. There was a history of arterial thrombosis or deep venous thrombosis within 6 months before the first use of the study drug; Thrombosis caused by implantable venous infusion pump or catheter, or superficial venous thrombosis, except those with stable thrombosis after regular anticoagulation therapy.

17. Patients with coagulation disorders, bleeding tendency, or undergoing anticoagulation therapy 2 months before the first use of the study drug.
