Full Title
A Limited Access Phase I/II Trial of Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, and CTEP Supplied Agent ABT-888 (Velaparib) (IND#77840, NSC#737664) in the Treatment of Advanced, Persistent, or Recurrent Carcinoma of the Cervix (GOG-0076HH)
Purpose
The purpose of this Gynecologic Oncology Group study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of various doses of an investigational drug called ABT-888 (veliparib) when it is given with paclitaxel and cisplatin in patients with cervical cancer that is advanced or has returned or persisted despite prior treatment. Various doses of ABT-888 will be evaluated in the phase I portion of the trial, while its effectiveness in combination with paclitaxel and cisplatin will be assessed in the phase II portion.
ABT-888 kills cancer cells by blocking a protein called PARP, thereby preventing the repair of DNA or genetic damage in cancer cells and possibly making them more susceptible to anticancer drugs. ABT-888 may make paclitaxel/cisplatin treatment work more effectively.
