Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether give durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination or sequential administration works better in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Arm II (combination tremelimumab, durvalumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Patients receive tremelimumab IV and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group II: Arm I (sequential tremelimumab, durvalumab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

Patients receive tremelimumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon progression, patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. This arm is closed to enrollment.
