A Phase II Evaluation of Dasatinib (Sprycel®, NSC #732517) in the Treatment of Persistent or Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of patients who survive progression-free for at least 6 months
and the proportion of patients who have objective tumor response (complete or partial) in
patients with persistent or recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary
peritoneal carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the frequency and severity of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v3.0.

II. To determine the duration of progression-free survival and overall survival.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Objectives in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue before treatment
with dasatinib.

II. Explore the association between the expression and phosphorylation of biomarkers
involved in Src signaling pathways and measures of clinical outcome as well as disease
status.

III. Bank residual FFPE tumor tissue for the development and characterization of predictive
and/or prognostic biomarkers or the validation of thereapeutic targets.

IV. Objectives in blood drawn before and/or during treatment with dasatinib. V. Isolate,
enumerate and characterize circulating tumor cells (CTC) as well as circulating endothelial
cells (CEC)/circulating endothelial precursors (CEP).

VI. Prepare a buffy-coat specimen from residual blood remaining after isolation of CTC and
CEC/CEP.

VII. Explore whether CTC and CEC/CEP counts or characteristics are associated with measures
of clinical outcome and disease status.

VIII. Explore whether the expression and phosphorylation of biomarkers involved in Src
signaling pathways in CTC and CEC/CEP are associated with measures of clinical outcome and
disease status.

IX. Explore the associations between germline single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in
genes involved in drug metabolism, resistance and DNA repair and measures of clinical
outcome and disease status.

X. Bank residual DNA and buffy-coat specimens for the development and characterization of
predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers or the validation of therapeutic targets.

XI. Objectives in plasma prepared from blood drawn before and/or during treatment with
dasatinib.

XII. Explore the association between angiogenic markers and cytokines including VEGF and
measures of clinical outcome and disease status.

XIII. Explore the association between measures of cell-free DNA and measures of clinical
outcome and disease status.

XIV. Bank residual plasma for the development and characterization of predictive and/or
prognostic biomarkers or the validation of therapeutic targets.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral dasatinib once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and
then every 6 months for 3 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or
primary peritoneal carcinoma; histologic documentation of the original primary tumor
is required via the pathology report

one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest
dimension to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 20 mm when measured by conventional
techniques, including palpation, plain x-ray, CT, and MRI, or >= 10 mm when measured
by spiral CT

- Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this
protocol as defined by RECIST; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be
designated as "non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is
obtained to confirm persistence at least 90 days following completion of radiation
therapy

- Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority GOG protocol, if one exists; in
general, this would refer to any active GOG Phase III protocol for the same patient
population

was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains
free of recurrent or metastatic disease

- Patients cannot take St. John's Wort or drink grapefruit juice while on study
treatment (discontinue St. John's Wort at least five days before starting dasatinib)

- Patients receiving IV bisphosphonates agree that IV bisphosphonates will be withheld
for the first 8 weeks of dasatinib therapy due to risk of hypocalcemia, and may be
restarted only if any hypocalcemia has been corrected

- Patients who have a history of cardiac disease:

- Uncontrolled angina, congestive heart failure (CHF) or myocardial infarction
(MI) within six months prior to study entry;

- Dasatinib is metabolized primarily by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme; consideration should
be given to using alternative medications not impacting CYP3A4 while on dasatinib
therapy

- Patients may not be receiving any prohibited potent CYP3A4 inhibitors; for these
drugs, a wash-out period of >= 7 days is required prior to starting dasatinib
treatment

- Category I drugs that are generally accepted to have a risk of causing Torsades de
Pointes; a wash-out period of >= 7 days is required for the following drugs prior to
starting dasatinib treatment:

halofantrine, levomethadyl, pentamidine, sparfloxacin, lidoflazine

- The concomitant use of H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) with dasatinib
is not recommended (e.g., famotidine, omeprazole); the use of antacids should be
considered in place of H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors in patients receiving
dasatinib therapy; if antacid therapy is needed, the antacid dose should be
administered two hours before or after the dose of dasatinib

- Therapeutic anticoagulation is not contraindicated, but for those patients on
therapeutic anticoagulation, alteration in coagulation parameters is expected
following initiation of dasatinib. For patients on therapeutic anticoagulation,
coagulation parameters should be assessed weekly for the first cycle following
initiation of dasatinib, weekly for the first cycle following a dose reduction, and
weekly for a minimum of two weeks after stopping dasatinib.

Warfarin is permitted for prophylaxis or treatment of thrombosis

- Note: Low molecular weight heparin is permitted provided the patient's PT/INR is =<
1.5; for patients on anticoagulation, coagulation parameters should be assessed
weekly for the first cycle following initiation of dasatinib, weekly for the first
cycle following a dose reduction, and weekly for a minimum of two weeks after
stopping dasatinib
