Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Active ingredient vs placebo |
Masking: | Double (Participant, Investigator) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase II, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of the Use of Rucaparib vs. Placebo Maintenance Therapy in Metastatic and Recurrent Endometrial Cancer |
Actual Study Start Date : | March 6, 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | May 31, 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | September 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Active Ingredient
1:1 Randomization. Participants in this arm receive the active ingredient medication.
|
Drug: Rucaparib
Participants allocated to the active ingredient arm will receive Rucaparib twice daily, 600mg, to be take by mouth. Patients will take the medication continuously over a 28 day cycle, until disease progression or other indication of discontinuation. Medication should be taken around the same time every day, with 8 or more ounces of water. |
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
1:1 Randomization. Participants in this arm receive the placebo medication. (Placebos do not contain active ingredients).
|
Drug: Placebo Oral Tablet
Participants allocated to the placebo arm will receive a placebo tablet (that looks identical to the active ingredient tablet) twice daily, 600mg, to be take by mouth. Patients will take the medication continuously over a 28 day cycle, until disease progression or other indication of discontinuation. Tablet should be taken around the same time every day, with 8 or more ounces of water. |
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Start of study to end of study, or death, whichever comes first, up to 48 months. ]Progression free survival is defined as cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) till the time of progression as determined by RECIST 1.1 criteria or death.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Start of study to death, up to 48 months. ]Overall survival is defined as cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) till the time of death.
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Start of study to end of study, or death, whichever comes first, up to 48 months. ]ORR is defined as how well the tumor responds to the medication based on RECIST 1.1 evaluation.
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: Start of study to end of study, or death, whichever comes first, up to 48 months. ]Safety and tolerability analysis of Rucaparib will be summarized by dose and severity as assessed by the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5 and relationship to study drug.
