Scientific titleRandomised phase II trial of Cediranib and Olaparib Maintenance in advanced/recurrent Cervical Cancer (COMICE)
Study acronymCOMICE
Study objectivesThe primary purpose of this study is to compare median survival of patients with metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer when treated with Cediranib (antiangiogenic agent) and Olaparib (PARP inhibitor) compared with a placebo after having platinum based chemoradiotherapy. Secondary to this is to examine drug toxicity and tolerability to the combination of drugs.
Ethics approval(s)

Approved 29/12/2017, North West Greater Manchester South Research Ethics Committee; ), ref: (3rd Floor, Barlow House 4 Minshull Street, Manchester, M1 3DZ, United Kingdom; +44 (0)207 1048014; gmsouth.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 17/NW/0634

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedCervical cancer
InterventionParticipants are randomly allocated to one of two study arms:

ARM 1: Cediranib 20mg OD + Olaparib 300mg BD
ARM 2: Placebo Cediranib + Placebo Olaparib

Participants are treated until progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent. Participation in the study continues until there is a withdrawal of consent or death.

Participants who stop treatment before having developed progressive disease (PD) are assessed every 8 weeks for response until PD occurs.

The study ends when the last participant recruited has completed a minimum of seven month follow up. The anticipated recruitment period is 14 months therefore the maximum duration of a patient on this study will be 21 months.

After study end participants still deemed to be benefitting from study medication are allowed to continue off study with discretionary use of the drugs until disease progression.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureProgression Free Survival is measured from date of randomisation until the earlier of date of progression or death, progression measured using RECIST 1.1 from results of CT/MRI scans scheduled every 8 weeks (additional scans may be performed between scheduled visits if it is believed that the patient has progressive disease), and compared to results obtained prior to starting study treatment.
Secondary outcome measures1. Overall Survival Overall survival is measured from date of randomisation to date of death
2. Best Objective Response Is measured as the highest value of response observed using RECIST 1.1 comparing results from 8-weekly scheduled MRI/CT scans to results obtained prior to starting study treatment
3. Quality of Life Is measured using results from FACT-Cx questionnaire completed at 4-weekly intervals until the earlier of disease progression or 28 weeks treatment
4. Toxicity Is measured using AE data (described using CTCAE v4.03) collected at 4-weekly visits whilst on study treatment and from SAE data (described using CTCAE v4.03) collected whilst patient is on study
Overall study start date21/12/2016
Completion date30/06/2023
