Sacituzumab Govitecan for Ovarian Cancer

Phase 2
Recruiting
Led By Alessandro Santin, M.D.
Research Sponsored by Yale University
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Patients must have platinum-resistant (i.e., platinum-free interval <6 months) recurrent or persistent histologically confirmed epithelial (non-mucinous) ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Patients may have serous, endometrioid, clear cell, (pure or mixed), or undifferentiated histology.
All patients must have measurable disease. Measurable disease is defined as lesions which can be measured by physical examination or by means of medical imaging techniques. Measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded). Each lesion must be ≥ 20 mm when measured by conventional techniques, including palpation or plain x-ray, or ≥ 10 mm when measured by spiral CT and/or MRI. Ascites and pleural effusions are not to be considered measurable disease.

Study Summary

This trial tests a new drug to treat ovarian cancer that didn't respond to other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, including fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancers, who have had no more than two prior chemotherapies for recurrent disease. Participants must be in good health otherwise, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and able to use contraception. They should have recovered from previous treatments and surgeries and have adequate organ function.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Sacituzumab Govitecan (IMMU-132) on patients with specific types of ovarian cancer that are resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. It's a Phase 2 trial focusing on those whose disease has returned after treatment. The drug's effectiveness will be measured against the size of tumors over time.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't list side effects explicitly, similar drugs can cause nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems, hair loss (alopecia), allergic reactions and possibly diarrhea due to its mechanism as a topoisomerase I inhibitor.
