Description
Summary
EP0057-201 is a Phase 2A/B adaptive design study. Phase 2A will test EP0057 in combination with Olaparib and Phase 2B, the randomised part of the study, will test EP0057 in combination with Olaparib against SOC chemotherapy. When EP0057 is combined with Olaparib, it is envisaged that the combination should improve therapeutic responses in the recurrent ovarian cancer disease setting.
EP0057 is an investigational nanoparticle-drug conjugate administered intravenously. The rationale for developing EP0057 is to enable selective entry of EP0057 into tumour tissue and as a result create preferential accumulation of EP0057, and therefore of the payload Camptothecin, to translate into maximum tumour cell killing.
Official Title
Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Safety & Efficacy of EP0057 in Combination With Olaparib in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Patients Who Have: Cohort 1 - Platinum Resistant Disease; Cohort 2 - Had at Least 1 Prior Line of Therapy Which Must Include at Least 1 Line of Platinum-based Chemotherapy Followed by PARP Inhibitor Maintenance
Details
EP0057-201 is an adaptive Phase 2A/B study in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Phase 2A
Phase 2A will be comprised of 2 single-arm treatment cohorts:
Cohort 1 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib in patients with advanced platinum resistant ovarian cancer (see inclusion criteria for definition of platinum resistant) who have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy which must be platinum-based chemotherapy (n~=30)
Cohort 2 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy which must include at least 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy followed by a PARP inhibitor as maintenance treatment as their last treatment regimen (n~=30)
It is anticipated that up to approximately 60 patients (approximately 30 patients per cohort) will be enrolled into Phase 2A. Both treatment cohorts will open in parallel and patients will be enrolled into each cohort concurrently.
At the end of Phase 2A, the Safety Review Committee will guide the decision to initiate 1 or both cohorts in Phase 2B, or terminate further recruitment into the study.
Phase 2B
Phase 2B will be comprised of 2 treatment cohorts, each randomised versus SOC. One or both cohorts may be opened concurrently to recruitment:
Cohort 1 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib compared with SOC chemotherapy (TBC) in patients with advanced platinum resistant ovarian cancer who have received no more than 1 prior line of therapy which must be platinum-based chemotherapy (n=~132)
Cohort 2 will explore EP0057 in combination with Olaparib compared with SOC chemotherapy (TBC) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have received at least 1 prior line of therapy which must include at least 1 line of platinum-based chemotherapy followed by a PARP inhibitor as maintenance treatment as their last therapy (n=~192)
It is anticipated that ~324 patients will be enrolled into Phase 2B. Both treatment cohorts may open in parallel and patients may be enrolled into each cohort concurrently.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1 at screening
10. Normal organ and bone marrow function:
Haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109
Lymphocyte count ≥ 0.5 x 109
Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109
Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 institutional upper limit normal (ULN)
Serum albumin ≥ 2.5 g/dL
AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x ULN, unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be ≤ 5 x ULN
Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min (calculated using the Cockroft-Gault formula) for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
Patients not receiving anti-coagulant medication must have an INR of ≤ 1.5 and an aPTT ≤ 1.5 x ULN
11. In the opinion of the Investigator, all other relevant medical conditions must be
well-managed and stable for at least 28 days prior to first administration of study drug
12. Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this
study protocol
13. Contraception: Each female subject of childbearing potential must agree to use a
highly effective method of contraception (i.e., a method with less than 1% failure rate per year [e.g., sterilization, hormone implants, hormone injections, some intrauterine devices, vasectomized partner, or combined birth control pills]) from screening until 6 months after the last dose of EP0057 or Olaparib, whichever was taken last. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to EP0057 dosing on Day 1 of each Cycle (and must not be lactating). Each female subject will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless she has been surgically sterilised by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation/salpingectomy or has been postmenopausal for at least 1 year.
