Scientific titleA 3-Arm Randomised Phase II Evaluation of Cediranib in Combination with Weekly Paclitaxel or Olaparib Versus Weekly Paclitaxel Chemotherapy as Second-Line Therapy for Advanced/ Metastatic Endometrial Carcinoma or for disease relapse within 12 months of adjuvant carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy
Study acronymCOPELIA
Study hypothesisThe aim of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic benefit of two novel combination regimens: cediranib and weekly paclitaxel (Arm 2) and cediranib-olaparib (Arm 3) compared to a widely-accepted standard treatment of weekly paclitaxel (Arm 1) for measurable, recurrent endometrial cancer where disease recurrence or progression has occurred after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 30/11/2017, South Central - Oxford B Research Ethics Committee (Whitefriars, Level 3, Block B, Lewin’s Mead, Bristol, BS1 2NT, UK; Tel: +44 (0)207 104 8241; Email: nrescommittee.southcentral-oxfordb@nhs.net), REC ref: 17/SC/0536
ConditionAdvanced/metastatic endometrial cancer
InterventionParticipants are randomised into one of the three study arms to receive treatment.

Arm 1 (control): Paclitaxel will be administered at 80 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles. This is standard treatment and is the control arm.

Arm 2: Paclitaxel at 80 mg/m2 IV on days 1, 8 and 15 of a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles with cediranib 20 mg orally once daily continuously in 28 day cycles until disease progression.

Arm 3: Cediranib 20 mg orally once daily and Olaparib tablets 300 mg orally twice daily continuously in 28 day cycles until disease progression.

Participants in all study arms are followed up after three and six months.

Publication and dissemination planAll presentations and publications relating to the trial will be authorised by the TMG and Sponsor. The main trial results will be published in the name of the trial in a peer-reviewed journal, on behalf of all collaborators. The manuscript will be prepared by a writing group, appointed from amongst the Trial Management Group, and this may also include high accruing clinicians and/or other people who contribute to the trial. All participating centres and clinicians will be acknowledged in this main publication together with appropriate staff from the CTR.
