CORAL

A phase II study of abiraterone in patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Disease site: Ovarian cancer

Treatment modality: Systemic therapy

Status: In follow up

Trial details

CORAL is a phase II, prospective, multicentre, open label, two stage trial to determine whether the drug abiraterone has clinical activity in patients with ovarian cancer that has relapsed within 12 months of treatment.

A total of 47 evaluable patients will be recruited from sites across the UK. Stage one of CORAL will recruit 26 patients, and if this is successful, stage two of the trial will recruit a further 21 patients. All participants will receive abiraterone 1000mg daily until progression and the number of patients taking part with androgren receptor positive disease will be carefully monitored.

If CORAL shows that abiraterone is a promising drug in this tumour group, the results could be used to design a follow on phase III multicentre randomised controlled trial.
