Relacorilant Plus Nab-Paclitaxel in Advanced, Platinum-Resistant, High-Grade Epithelial Ovarian, Primary Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

The purpose of this open-label, randomized, phase 3 study is to evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced, platinum-resistant, high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer treated with an intermittent regimen of relacorilant (CORT-125134) plus nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) versus nab-paclitaxel alone. Patients aged ≥18 years with histologically confirmed diagnosis of grade 3, platinum-resistant disease per RECIST version 1.1; who have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1; and who have received at least 1 but ≤3 lines of previous systemic anticancer therapy, at least 1 previous line of platinum therapy, and previous treatment with bevacizumab (Avastin) may be eligible if other criteria are met. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive nab-paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle plus relacorilant 150 mg orally (PO) once daily, or nab-paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 IV.

The primary outcome measure is PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review from time of randomization until time of first documented progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Secondary outcome measures include overall survival (OS); objective response rate (ORR); duration of response (DOR); cancer antigen (CA)-125 response as defined by the Gynecologic Cancer InterGroup (GCIG); and the proportion of patients who attain complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease per RECIST version 1.1. The study plans to enroll approximately 360 participants throughout the United States and worldwide. For more information, contact B.
