Summary
This trial is testing a new treatment that uses a patient's own modified immune cells to target and kill cancer cells. It focuses on patients whose ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer has come back or hasn't responded to other treatments.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who've had at least one platinum-based and two other chemotherapy treatments. They must have a life expectancy of over 3 months, no recent anticancer therapy or immunotherapy, and agree to use contraception. The cancer must express FSHR antigen.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety of genetically modified T cells targeting the FSH receptor in patients with certain types of ovarian cancers. It explores treatment effectiveness both with and without additional chemotherapy.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune reactions due to genetic modification of T cells, typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea and fatigue if used alongside chemo, as well as site-specific complications from port placement.

Other Research
Common treatments for ovarian cancer include platinum-based chemotherapy, PARP inhibitors, and investigational therapies like genetically modified T cells targeting FSHR. Platinum-based chemotherapy works by causing DNA damage that cancer cells cannot repair, leading to cell death.
PARP inhibitors prevent cancer cells from repairing DNA damage, particularly effective in cancers with BRCA mutations or homologous recombination deficiencies. Genetically modified T cells, such as FSHCER T cells, are designed to target specific receptors on cancer cells, enhancing the immune system's ability to recognize and destroy these cells.
These treatments are crucial as they offer targeted approaches to combat ovarian cancer, potentially improving survival rates and reducing recurrence.
