Study Summary
This trial is testing pembrolizumab + carboplatin to treat ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who've had platinum-based chemo. They must have a certain level of CA-125 antigen and no measurable disease by specific criteria. Participants need to be sexually active individuals agreeing to contraception, have a life expectancy over 3 months, good performance status (0 or 1), and meet blood count and organ function requirements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) combined with carboplatin (a chemotherapy drug) on patients whose cancer has returned. Pembrolizumab may boost the immune system's attack on cancer cells while carboplatin aims to stop tumor growth by killing cells or preventing their division.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drugs' components, fatigue from treatment, potential damage to organs due to inflammation caused by pembrolizumab, as well as typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, hair loss, nerve damage (neuropathy), and increased risk of infections.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (carboplatin, pembrolizumab)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions
Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day -2 of cycle 1 only. Patients also receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 6 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT or MRI throughout the trial. Patients also undergo blood sample collection on the trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
How many participants are involved in this medical experiment?
"Yes, clinicaltrials.gov reflects that this trial is actively enrolling subjects. It was initially published on March 18th 2021 and recently modified on September 7th 2022. There are 22 spots available at one location for prospective participants."
Answered by AI
What conditions have been effectively managed by Carboplatin?
"As a form of chemotherapy, carboplatin has been proven to be effective in treating many forms of cancer. Aside from malignant neoplasms, it can also help manage unresectable melanoma, cases with microsatellite instability and those at high risk for recurrence."
Answered by AI
To what degree does Carboplatin pose an adverse health risk?
"Since this is a Phase 2 trial, we can assume that there exists some evidence of Carboplatin's safety but none verifying its efficacy. We thus rate the medication as having an overall safety level of 2 on our scale from 1 to 3."
Answered by AI
Are there any enrolment opportunities for this trial currently available?
"Clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this study is still seeking participants, with the original posting on March 18th 2021 and an update posted just last week (September 7th 2022)."
Answered by AI
What other research has investigated the effects of Carboplatin?
"Presently, there are 1546 active clinical trials involving Carboplatin with 310 such studies in the third phase. Houston, Texas is leading these experiments; however, it should be noted that research for this drug is being conducted across 71991 locations worldwide."
