INCB123667 for Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer
(MAESTRA 1 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment called INCB123667 for individuals with ovarian cancer that doesn't respond well to platinum-based therapies. Researchers aim to determine the safety and effectiveness of this treatment, particularly for those whose tumors exhibit high levels of the protein Cyclin E1. Participants should have ovarian cancer resistant to platinum treatments after 1 to 4 rounds of therapy and must agree to a biopsy before starting the trial. The trial excludes individuals with certain cancer types or active heart or brain issues. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that INCB123667 is likely to be safe for humans?
Studies have shown that INCB123667, a drug tested for treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, is generally safe. Patients in past studies handled it well without serious side effects. Research indicates that INCB123667 has demonstrated encouraging safety results in patients with this type of cancer.
In an earlier study, patients did not report major problems while taking the drug. This finding reassures those considering joining the trial, suggesting the drug may be safe at the tested doses. However, discussing any concerns with a healthcare provider before joining a trial is always important.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for ovarian cancer?
Researchers are excited about INCB123667 for treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer because it takes a new approach by targeting tumor cyclin E1 expression levels. This focus is different from the standard treatments like platinum-based chemotherapy, which often become ineffective when resistance develops. By honing in on this specific protein, INCB123667 has the potential to overcome resistance issues and provide a more tailored and effective response for patients. This targeted mechanism could offer renewed hope for those who have exhausted other options.
What evidence suggests that INCB123667 might be an effective treatment for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer?
Research has shown that INCB123667, a new drug, offers promising results for treating ovarian cancer unresponsive to standard treatments. Earlier studies found this drug to be safe and demonstrated early signs of efficacy. Specifically, one study reported that 31.3% of patients responded to the treatment, with some experiencing complete tumor disappearance. This trial will administer INCB123667 to participants in different cohorts based on their tumor cyclin E1 expression levels. This approach suggests that INCB123667 could benefit patients whose cancer hasn't improved with other treatments. Overall, the treatment appears hopeful for those facing this challenging condition.12345

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals with high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that's resistant to platinum-based treatments. They must have had 1-4 prior systemic therapies and be eligible for single-agent therapy next. Participants need available tumor tissue for study and should have used bevacizumab unless contraindicated.Inclusion Criteria
