Summary

Ovarian cancer may be caused by a build-up of genetic defects, or damaged genes within the body's cells. When genes are damaged, the body may be unable to produce a group of proteins, called cytokines, used by the immune system to fight cancer and some infections. The investigational gene transfer agent EGEN-001 contains the human gene for the cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) in a special carrier system designed to enter the cells and help the body to produce cytokines. Therefore, the purpose of the EGEN-001 therapy is to attempt to enhance the body's natural ability to recognize and fight cancer cells. Funding Source - FDA OOPD

Conditions

  • Ovarian Neoplasms

Interventions

GENETIC

EGEN-001 (phIL-12-005/PPC)

In stage 1, patients will receive standard doses of IV carboplatin and docetaxel for 2 treatment cycles with a 3 week interval. Patients will also receive 4 IP infusions of EGEN-001 at 12mg/m2 EGEN-001, 18mg/m2, or 24mg/m2, 10-11 days apart. Stage 2 of the study will involve cycle escalation at the highest EGEN-001 dose identified from Stage 1. All patients will receive up to 8 doses of EGEN-001, 10-11 days apart plus up to 4 IV carboplatin and docetaxel cycles with 3 week intervals. After receiving the assigned number of treatments of EGEN-001, carboplatin, and docetaxel, patients may continue to receive up to 4 additional infusions of EGEN-001 and 2 IV carboplatin and docetaxel cycles with 3 week intervals.
