The drug being tested in this study is called alisertib (MLN8237). Alisertib is being tested to treat people who have platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma. This study looked at the antitumor activity by response rate who would take alisertib.~The study enrolled 31 patients. Participants were categorized as per the disease state into 2 categories, refractory and resistant. Participants received:~• Alisertib 50 mg~All participants took alisertib 50 mg capsules every 12 hours each day for 7 days followed by a 14-day rest period in a 21-day cycle (up to 26 cycles).~This multi-center trial was conducted in France, Poland and the United States. The overall time to participate in this study was 12 months, unless it is determined that a participant would benefit from continued therapy beyond 12 months. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, and were contacted up to a maximum of every 12 weeks up to 12 months after last dose of study drug for follow-up assessments.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumour activity of alisertib (MLN8237) in the treatment of participants with platinum-refractory or platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinomas.
