About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ovarian Cancer

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants that are greater than or equal to 18 years of age
  • For U.S. sites, patients can read and understand English or Spanish; for Canadian site, participants can read and understand English or French
  • Histology confirmed, or clinical suspicion of, invasive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal carcinoma. Must be grade 2 or 3. All histologies including serous, endometrioid, clear cell sarcoma, or carcinosarcoma histology is acceptable. Mixed histology also acceptable.
  • Treatment naïve for this cancer diagnosis
  • Planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (platinum-based doublet with taxane +/- anti-VEGF antibody) for at least 3 but no more than 5 cycles followed by an interval debulking surgery. [Note: this study evaluates response while on neoadjuvant treatment. The final collection of specimen and questionnaire is at the time of surgery and immediate post-operative state. Therefore, there are no eligibility criteria related to treatment in the adjuvant setting (e.g., intraperitoneal treatment) and adjuvant therapy should proceed as the physician deems appropriate.]
  • Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1, CT scan (with or without contrast) within 12 weeks of study enrollment.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0,1, or 2
  • Able to provide tissue biopsy (core or excisional) sufficient for diagnosis and biomarker analysis, may use outside archival tissue if available.
  • If currently using anti-coagulation medication, no contraindication for temporary stoppage of use during the study based on physician judgement
  • Willing and able to swallow pills without difficulty
  • Un-transfused platelet count > 100,000 cells/μL
  • Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol (e.g. undergoing treatment, scheduled visits and examinations, serum testing, questionnaires, pill log/diary)
  • Absolute neutrophil count > 1.5 x 109 cells/L
  • Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL, may use transfusions and the value can be post-transfusion
  • Estimated creatinine clearance of > 30 mL/min, calculated using the formula Cockcroft-Gault [(140-age) x Mass (kg)/(72 x creatinine mg/dL)] x 0.85 for female
  • No severe hepatic impairment defined as AST or ALT elevation < 2.5 x institutional ULN, unless liver metastasis is present < 5 x ULN

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Definite contraindication for either aspirin use or stopping current aspirin use based on physician's clinical judgment
  • History of vascular event in the last 12 months (e.g., myocardial infarction or unstable angina, stroke, coronary artery angioplasty or stenting, coronary artery bypass graft, relevant [serious or significant] arrhythmias, significant vascular disease, congestive heart failure or vascular interventions).
  • History of hypertensive crisis and/ or uncontrolled HTN, systolic blood pressure > 150 mmHg; diastolic blood pressure > 90mmHg. Participants must have blood pressure < 150/90 mmHg taken in a clinic setting by a medical professional within 2 weeks prior to starting study.
  • Current or history of ulcers which prohibits aspirin consumption, severe hepatic failure, or acute or chronic renal disease where aspirin use is contraindicated
  • History of gastrointestinal or genitourinary bleeding or other bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy within 6 months prior to enrollment of study
  • Uncontrolled erosive esophagitis requiring 2 or more treatments
  • Other cancer diagnosis in the last 3 years other than non-melanoma skin cancer
  • Autoimmune disorder requiring systemic therapy
  • Chronic steroid use defined as 3 weeks in the past year or any length of time in the past 30 days.
  • Other aspirin or NSAID hypersensitivities or contraindications (e.g. allergy)
  • History of bariatric surgery
  • Currently pregnant at the Screening visit or planning on becoming pregnant during the study period
  • Participant is unable to swallow orally administered medication and patients with gastrointestinal disorders likely to interfere with study medication.
  • Metabolism CYP2C9, known G6PD deficient patients

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in intratumoral density of immunosuppressive T-regulatory (FOXP3+) cells from diagnostic biopsy to interval debulking surgery
Change in intratumoral density of immunosuppressive T-regulatory (FOXP3+) cells will be measured by using this formula: (density in the debulking surgery tissue sample - density in the biopsy tissue sample)*100 / density in the biopsy tissue sample.
Change in intratumoral density of M2 tumor-associated macrophages (CD163+ cells) from diagnostic biopsy to interval debulking surgery
Change in intratumoral density of of M2 tumor-associated macrophages (CD163+ cells) will be measured by using this formula: (density in the debulking surgery tissue sample - density in the biopsy tissue sample)*100 / density in the biopsy tissue sample.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in density of tumor COX1
Change in density of tumor COX1 will be measured by using this formula: (density in the debulking surgery tissue sample - density in the biopsy tissue sample)*100 / density in the biopsy tissue sample.
Change in density of tumor COX2
Change in density of tumor COX2 will be measured by using this formula: (density in the debulking surgery tissue sample - density in the biopsy tissue sample)*100 / density in the biopsy tissue sample.
Change in blood levels of IL-6
Investigators will calculate the percent change in the concentration of the biomarker from baseline to Visit 4
Change in blood levels of p-selectin
Investigators will calculate the percent change in the concentration of the biomarker from baseline to Visit 4
Change in blood levels of CA 125
Investigators will calculate the percent change in the concentration of the biomarker from baseline to Visit 4
Change in tumor burden as defined by RECIST 1.1
Change in tumor burden be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors guideline version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
