What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether give durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination or sequential administration works better in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Durvalumab
• Tremelimumab

Trial Overview The study tests durvalumab and tremelimumab, two immunotherapy drugs that may help the immune system fight cancer. It's unclear if giving these drugs together or one after the other is more effective for treating certain gynecological cancers.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Arm II (combination tremelimumab, durvalumab) Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Patients receive tremelimumab IV and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group II: Arm I (sequential tremelimumab, durvalumab) Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Patients receive tremelimumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon progression, patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. This arm is closed to enrollment.
