Eligibility Criteria Checklist

Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial

Must have

Patient has platinum-resistant/refractory disease, defined as disease progression within 180 days following the last administered dose of platinum therapy beyond first-line setting (resistant) or lack of response or disease progression while receiving the most recent platinum-based therapy (refractory). Patient must have progressed radiographically on or after their most recent line of anticancer therapy

Must not have

Patient has histologically confirmed diagnosis of EOC with mucinous or carcinosarcoma subtype.

Patient has nonepithelial tumor (eg, germline or stromal cell tumor) or ovarian tumor with low malignant potential (ie, borderline or low-grade serous tumor).

Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment against chemotherapy to see which is more effective in patients with ovarian cancer that has not responded to platinum-based drugs.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for women over 18 with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. They must have seen their disease progress after recent therapy and received at least one line of bevacizumab-containing treatment. Excluded are those with certain subtypes of EOC, prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy exposure, non-epithelial tumors, or significant fluid drainage needs.

What is being tested?

The study compares nemvaleukin alfa combined with pembrolizumab against a choice chemotherapy in patients who've had limited success with platinum-based treatments. It's an open-label Phase 3 trial where participants are randomly assigned to the treatment groups.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include immune-related reactions due to pembrolizumab (like skin issues, colitis), cytokine release syndrome from nemvaleukin alfa (flu-like symptoms), and typical chemotherapy effects such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss.
