Summary

This trial will test a new combination of drugs to treat patients with ovarian cancer who have stopped responding to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that's resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. Participants need good organ function and blood work within normal ranges, no severe infections or heart issues recently, not on certain medications, and must agree to contraception if applicable. They should have a life expectancy of at least 3 months and an ECOG Performance Status of 0-1.
What is being tested?
The trial tests a combination treatment using Vismodegib and Atezolizumab in patients whose cancer hasn't responded well to platinum-based treatments. The goal is to see if this new approach can improve outcomes since current response rates are low with existing therapies.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include digestive issues like nausea, muscle cramps, hair loss from Vismodegib; fatigue, possible immune-related reactions such as inflammation in organs or skin rashes from Atezolizumab; increased risk of infection from both drugs.
