A Randomized Phase II Trial of a Genetically Engineered NIS-Expressing Strain of Measles Virus Versus Investigator's Choice Chemotherapy for Patients With Platinum-Resistant Ovarian, Fallopian, or Peritoneal Cancer

This randomized phase II trial studies how well oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal
sodium iodide symporter (MV-NIS) compared to investigator's choice chemotherapy works in
treating patients with ovarian, fallopian, or peritoneal cancer. Measles virus, which has
been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare clinical efficacy of Arm A (MV-NIS therapy) and Arm B (standard cytotoxic
chemotherapy), as measured by overall survival (OS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival at 12 months (OS12),
progression-free survival at six months (PFS6), and objective response rate (ORR) between
MV-NIS therapy and standard chemotherapy.

II. Assess safety and tolerability of MV-NIS, and compare with standard chemotherapy.

III. Compare quality of life as assessed by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian
(FACT-O) between MV-NIS and standard chemotherapy.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the time course of viral gene expression and virus elimination and biodistribution
of virally infected cells at various time points after infection with MV-NIS using
single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) imaging
within the MV-NIS treatment arm.

II. Assess viremia, viral replication, and viral shedding/persistence following
intraperitoneal administration within the NV-NIS treatment arm.

III. Measure humoral and cellular immune responses to MV-NIS within the NV-NIS treatment arm.

IV. Measure changes in anti-ovarian cancer (OC) immune responses in both treatment arms.

V. Perform transcriptomic analysis on tumor biopsy specimens to determine a gene expression
profile predictive of therapeutic response to MV-NIS.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM A: Patients receive oncolytic measles virus encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter
intraperitoneally (IP) over 30 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride intravenously (IV) over
1 hour on day 1, or gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15, or
topotecan hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15, or paclitaxel IV over 1 hour
on days 1, 8, and 15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3-6 months.

180 days of last dose of carboplatin- or cisplatin-containing chemotherapy, confirmed
by a second CA-125 (the second CA-125 does not have to be within 180 days of
chemotherapy), or 3) CT or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT evidence of cancer
recurrence within 180 days of last dose of carboplatin- or cisplatin-containing

- Willingness to return to Mayo Clinic Rochester or another participating institution
for follow-up; patients who are randomized to Arm B (cytotoxic chemotherapy) may
receive chemotherapy at any oncology clinic able to provide the protocol-directed
therapy and willing to send laboratory data to the participating institution; however,
patients must be willing to return to the participating institution every two months
for evaluation; patients who are randomized to Arm A must be willing to receive all
treatment and follow-up at a participating institution

- Life expectancy >= 12 weeks

- Willingness to provide all biologic specimens as required by the protocol

- Measurable disease by physical exam or CT scan, or evaluable disease by CA-125; (NOTE:
CA-125-evaluable disease is defined as serum CA-125 >= 2 x ULN that is determined by
the treating clinician to be due to recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary
peritoneal cancer)

- Normal cardiac function, as determined by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) >=
institutional lower limit of normal on echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan
(MUGA) within 1 month of registration
