Summary

This trial will test the safety and potential effectiveness of combining three immunotherapy treatments for ovarian cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer who have completed first-line treatment and may have had subsequent chemotherapy. They should be able to perform daily activities (ECOG 0-1), have a life expectancy of at least 6 months, measurable disease, and no history of certain autoimmune diseases or other serious conditions.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of DPX-Survivac therapy with low dose oral cyclophosphamide and IDO1 inhibitor epacadostat in patients. It aims to assess safety and how well these treatments can modulate the immune system against cancer cells.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune activation such as inflammation, possible infection risks due to immunosuppression from cyclophosphamide, gastrointestinal issues from oral agents' absorption problems, and any specific side effects related to epacadostat.
