What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial explores an experimental drug called ubamatamab for individuals with advanced ovarian cancer. Researchers aim to assess the safety and effectiveness of this drug both alone and in combination with other cancer treatments. They also monitor side effects and the body's response to the drug. This trial may suit those with advanced ovarian cancer that has progressed despite previous treatments and who have at least one measurable tumor. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on evaluating the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

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 this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?

Research has shown that ubamatamab has a good safety record from earlier studies. Patients with advanced ovarian cancer tolerated the treatment well, even after other therapies. This indicates that the side effects were manageable and did not outweigh the potential benefits. The studies also found that ubamatamab could lead to lasting improvements, offering hope for those with limited options. While experimental treatments always carry risks, current evidence suggests that ubamatamab is generally well-tolerated.¹ ² ³ ⁴ ⁵

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Ubamatamab is unique because it offers a fresh approach to treating ovarian cancer by targeting specific proteins that are overexpressed in cancer cells. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, Ubamatamab aims to selectively bind to these cancer cell proteins, potentially reducing side effects and improving treatment precision. Researchers are excited about this treatment as it represents a novel mechanism of action that could enhance effectiveness and provide new hope for patients who may not respond well to existing therapies.

What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for ovarian cancer?

Research has shown that ubamatamab may help treat advanced ovarian cancer. In studies, about 14% of patients experienced improvement with ubamatamab alone, with benefits lasting around 12 to 14 months. In this trial, participants will receive ubamatamab combined with other treatments, which previous studies suggest may slightly increase the improvement rate to about 18%. The drug enhances the body's immune system to better target cancer cells. While these results are promising, effectiveness can vary, and further research is needed to fully understand its benefits.² ³ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with advanced serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that's resistant to platinum-based treatments. Participants should be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1) and have proper organ/bone marrow function. They must show disease progression on prior therapy and have at least one measurable lesion.

Inclusion Criteria

I have advanced ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, but not clear cell, mucinous, or carcinosarcoma.

My cancer has grown despite treatment, and I have at least one tumor that can be measured.

I am fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but can do light work.

Trial Overview

The study tests ubamatamab alone and combined with other anti-cancer drugs: bevacizumab, cemiplimab, fianlimab, and PLD (a standard chemo). It aims to assess the safety, tolerability, effectiveness of these combinations and how they affect the body including side effects and immune responses.
