Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Catumaxomab

Catumaxomab treatment followed by an established chemotherapy regimen

Drug: Catumaxomab
Catumaxomab dosing comprises the following four intraperitoneal (i.p.) infusions via an i.p.-port or an indwelling catheter: 10 µg on day 0 20 µg on day 3 50 µg on day 7 150 µg on day 10

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Feasibility of close sequential combination of catumaxomab and established chemotherapy regimens [Approximately 5 months after start of treatment per patient]

    Feasibility of close sequential combination of catumaxomab and established chemotherapy regimens defined by rate of patients with at least 4 chemotherapy cycles following 4 applications of catumaxomab within 20 days as described in the scope of this clinical trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number and severity of adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Overall safety evaluation, including cytokine related toxicities (safety score catumaxomab number and severity of adverse events number of patients with AEs occurrence of cytokine release related symptoms hospitalization frequency and duration changes in clinically relevant laboratory values (hematology, clinical chemistry, coagulation, and urinalysis)

  2. Percentage of patients who can receive all 4 applications of catumaxomab within 20 days and who are able and committed to receive further mono chemotherapy [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Percentage of patients who can receive all 4 applications of catumaxomab within 20 days and who are able and committed to receive further mono chemotherapy

  3. Percentage of patients who can start chemotherapy after a maximum of 4-7 days after last catumaxomab application [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Percentage of patients who can start chemotherapy after a maximum of 4-7 days after last catumaxomab application

  4. Percentage of patients with no signs of malignant ascites at time of progression or change of therapeutic strategy [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Percentage of patients with no signs of malignant ascites at time of progression or change of therapeutic strategy

  5. Puncture-free interval (defined as paracentesis-free interval after last catumaxomab application/ removal of catheter) [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Puncture-free interval (defined as paracentesis-free interval after last catumaxomab application/ removal of catheter)

  6. Time to progression (TTP) according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response rate [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Time to progression (TTP) according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response rate

  7. Overall response rate (ORR) defined as patients with complete or partial response and duration of response (according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response) [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response) of second or third or fourth line chemotherapy and compare with historical data

  8. To assess treatment free interval to subsequent therapy (defined as duration of the interval between last chemotherapy application and start of next chemotherapy [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    To assess treatment free interval to subsequent therapy (defined as duration of the interval between last chemotherapy application and start of next chemotherapy

  9. To assess PFS according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response rate, OS [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    To assess PFS according to RECIST and/or CA-125 response rate, OS

  10. To assess quality of life over time as defined by EORTC-QLQ C 30 and Ovar 28 questionnaire [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    To assess quality of life over time as defined by EORTC-QLQ C 30 and Ovar 28 questionnaire

  11. Potential predictive clinical factors for response to catumaxomab [Approximately 2.5 years after start of study]

    Analysis of potential predictive clinical factors for response to catumaxomab (e.g. amount of ascites, histology, relative lymphocyte count)
