Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and possible benefits of two immunotherapy drugs, etigilimab and nivolumab, in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back and is resistant to platinum-based therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with recurrent clear cell ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that's resistant to platinum-based therapy. Participants must have measurable disease, acceptable organ function tests, and an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. Pregnant women and those not using birth control are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial studies the effects of combining two immunotherapy drugs: Etigilimab and Nivolumab. It aims to see if this combination can help control cancer growth in patients whose disease has returned after platinum-based treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include immune-related reactions such as inflammation in various organs, infusion reactions similar to allergic responses, fatigue, possible blood disorders like anemia or clotting issues, and increased risk of infections.

Has the recruitment process for this trial been completed or is it still ongoing?

"Affirmative. The information on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that this medical trial is currently searching for participants, with the post first published in October 2021 and last updated in November of the same year. This study requires 20 patients from a single location to be recruited."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment in this research project?

"Affirmative. Reports on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrate that the recruitment period for this medical trial, which was initiated on October 1st 2021, is currently active. To bolster their research they need to enrol 20 individuals from a single site."

Answered by AI

What applications are typically associated with Etigilimab?

"Etigilimab is a popular therapeutic option for treating malignant neoplasms, but can also be used to manage unresectable melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and metastatic esophageal adenocarcinom."

Answered by AI

What are the projected results of this research initiative?

"During this 90-day trial, the primary goal is to measure objective response rate (ORR). Secondary objectives include assessing molecular changes with standard descriptive statistics; calculating and contrasting pre-treatment and post-treatment T cell populations and proliferation with paired t-tests; summarizing proportions of macrophage phenotypes; using logistic regression/Cox proportional hazards model to examine relationship between clinical responses & molecular/immunological alterations; estimating median immune-related progression free survival (irPFS) w/ Kaplan Meier product limit estimator & Cox Proportional Hazards Regression as an exploratory analysis due to small sample size, finally"

Answered by AI

What potential harms might arise from the use of Etigilimab?

"Our assessment of Etigilimab's safety was a 2, reflecting that there is some data backing its security but no evidence demonstrating the drug's effectiveness."

Answered by AI

Could you provide an overview of the previous research done with Etigilimab?

"At present, Etigilimab is being trialled in 82 Phase 3 studies with 718 total active trials. The majority of these clinical assessments for Etiglimab are located within Zürich; however, there exist 40285 other sites running experiments related to this medication."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment a pioneering effort in its field?

"Etigilimab has been a topic of research since 2012 when the Ono Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd sponsored its first clinical trial involving 659 participants. Subsequently, Etigilimab gained approval in Phase 1 & 2 trials and is now being studied in 718 live studies across 2356 cities and 49 countries globally."
