Bioavailability

A newly developed taxane (BAY 59-8862) appears particularly interesting for the fact that it shows excellent oral bioavailability and activity in tumors with inherent resistance to paclitaxel. Together, these results support that administration of PTX in the form of taxane mixtures may become a novel approach to improve the poor bioavailability ofPTX.

Number of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

Tumor response was defined as the number of participants whose best response was CR or PR, per the IRRC assessment, using the modified WHO criteria: CR: disappearance of all index/non-index lesions; PR: >= 50% reduction in the SOPD of index lesions compared with the baseline SOPD, with no evidence of progression. To qualify as CR or PR, no new lesions could be present. (NCT00112294)
Timeframe: From randomization to end of study drug therapy (up to 174 weeks).

Median Number of Months to Response

The median number of months to response was calculated for participants whose best response was CR or PR. It was defined as the time from the first dose of study therapy to the first date that criteria for PR or CR (whichever occurred first)were met. Response was assessed by the IRRC, using the modified WHO criteria: CR: disappearance of all index/non-index lesions; PR: >= 50% reduction in the SOPD of index lesions compared with the baseline SOPD, with no evidence of progression. To qualify as CR or PR, no new lesions could be present. (NCT00112294)
Timeframe: Time from first dose of study therapy to the date of PR or CR, whichever occurred first (up to 13 months).

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response

Objective response was defined as either a confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by investigator based on response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (RECIST version 1.1). CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions (non-lymph nodes). All pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in their short axis less than (<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. (NCT00849667)

Percentage of Participants With Length of Second Remission Greater Than First Remission

Length of first remission was defined as a.) the period of time (in months) from the date of completion of previous platinum-based chemotherapy until date of first relapse (that is, first observation of progression). It was assumed that the date of first relapse was the earlier of progression by CA-125 or progression by radiologic assessment, as judged by the investigator using GCIG criteria. b.) the period of time (in months) from the date of completion of previous platinum-based chemotherapy (used prior to study entry) until date of randomization. The length of the second remission was defined as the period of time (in months) from the date of completion of platinum-based chemotherapy until the first observation of progression based on GCIG criteria. Based on GCIG criteria, disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters of target lesions. (NCT00849667)
Timeframe: From the date of last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy to date of relapse and date of last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy to first observation of progression (up to 48 months)

Duration of 50% Serologic Response

Duration of SR was defined as the time (in months) from first documentation of response to the first documentation of 50% serologic progression or death due to any cause. For responding participants who did not have serologic progression or did not die and who 1) were either still on study at the time of an analysis, 2) were given antitumor treatment other than study treatment, or 3) were withdrawn from study follow-up before documentation of serologic progression, the duration of SR was censored at the last date the participant was known to be without serologic progression. A 50% response according to CA-125 was defined as a 50% decrease in serum CA-125 levels, as determined through a series of three CA-125 samples (one baseline sample with an elevated level, the sample that showed a 50% decrease, and a confirmatory sample at the decreased level).

Cancer Antigen-125 (CA-125) Progression-Free Survival

"CA-125 PFS was defined as the time (in months) from the date of randomization until the date of the first observation of progression based on the Rustin criteria, or date of death, whatever the cause. If progression or death was not observed for a participant, the CA-125 PFS time was censored at the date of the last CA-125 assessment without evidence of progression before the date of initiation of further antitumor treatment or the primary analysis cut off date, whichever was earlier. Based on Rustin criteria, progressive disease (PD) was a rise in CA125 since beginning of consolidation or previously normal CA125 that rises to greater than or equal to (>=) 2 multiple (*) ULN with either event documented on two occasions or CA-125 >=2*nadir value with either event documented on two occasions."

Mean Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian Treatment Outcome Index (FACT-O TOI) Scores

Participant-reported Quality of Life (QoL) was measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian (FACT-O), version 4 and reported in the Treatment Outcome Index (TOI) format. TOI is a 26-item subset of the FACT-O questionnaire composed of the raw sum of the physical well-being subscale (7 items), the functional well-being subscale (7 items), and the ovarian cancer subscale (12 items). Each item was scored on a scale of 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Some items were reversed scored. Scores from each subsection were summed into one composite score, termed the FACT-O TOI score which ranged from 0 to 104 and a higher score reflected better QoL. As per planned analysis, farletuzumab treatment groups 1.25 mg/kg and 2.5 mg/kg were pooled for the QoL assessment. (NCT00849667)

Part II: Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of CR, PR, SD or PD by Biomarker

Best Overall response was defined according to RECIST. CR: disappearance of all target lesions and all pathological lymph nodes below 10 mm.PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or persistence of non-target lesions. The relationship between best response and the following biomarkers was investigated: p95 HER2 (+ve/-ve), IGF1R, c-MET, PTEN, HER2 (NCT00885755)
Timeframe: End of first 2 Cycles (Weeks 3 and 6), every 3 cycles for 18 weeks, then every 4 cycles until progression, unacceptable toxicity or participant decision to cease treatment up to 46 months

Percentage of Participants With Clinically Significant Improvement in Quality of Life Questionnaire Stomach Cancer Module 22 (QLQ-STO22) Score - Phase 3

The Quality of Life Questionnaire Stomach Cancer Module 22 (QLQ-STO22) supplements the EORTC QLQ-C30 to assess symptoms and treatment-related side effects commonly reported in participants. There are 22 questions which comprise 5 scales (dysphagia, pain, reflux symptom, dietary restrictions, and anxiety) and 4 single items (dry mouth, hair loss, taste, body image). Most questions use 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'; 1 question was a yes or no answer). A linear transformation was used to standardize all scores and single-items to a scale of 0 to 100; higher score=better level of functioning or greater degree of symptoms. Change of >=10 points has been found to be clinically significant. Cumulative data (up to primary analysis cut-off date of 30-June-2015) are provided for both phase 2 and phase 3 within the results of this measure. (NCT01641939)
Timeframe: Day 1 of each treatment cycle, at the study drug completion visit, and thereafter at survival follow-up (up to 2 years 3 months)

Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss) - Stage 1

Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state. Stage 1 consists of all participants recruited before the regimen selection decision. Regimen selection analysis was carried out after 12 weeks of randomization. (NCT01641939)
