Official Title: Open Phase II Study of Ketoconazole as Inhibitor of the Enzyme CYP17 in Locally Advanced or Disseminated Granulosa Cell Tumour of Ovary. GreKo Study.
Brief Summary:
Our proposal is to conduct an open phase II clinical trial that allows us to explore the activity of ketoconazole, an inhibitor of the enzyme CYP17, in ovarian granulosa tumors similar to what has been done in prostate cancer. The rational is based on dysregulation that FOXL2 mutations present in almost all granulosa tumors result in the expression of CYP17 that appears to be key in the development and progression of the disease.
This work would represent the first attempt to address the treatment of ovarian granulosa cancer with a molecular solid rational, drawing on the recent identification of the mutation "leader" of this tumor. If succeed provide a widely available therapeutic alternative compared with current cancer therapies, with low toxicity. In addition it would open a new line of research with CYP17 enzyme inhibitors that could alter the course and outcome, usually fatal, in advanced stages of disease.

Current Primary Outcome: Overall response rate [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Clinical benefit [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks ]Clinical benefit defined as stable disease for more than 6 months plus complete and partial response rates, measured by an external evaluator.
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time since the start of treatment until progressive disease assessed (through evaluation by an external radiologist) according to RECIST 1.1, or death by any cause.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Untill death ]Overall survival, defined as the time since the start of treatment until the patient dies by any cause.
- Quality of life [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]Quality of life measured by the validated in Spanish EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
- Safety profile [ Time Frame: Every 4 weeks ]Toxicities will be classified according to the NCI-CTCAE v4.03
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
