FLORA-5 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for ovarian cancer that may be more effective and have fewer side effects than current treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer who've had successful debulking surgery. They must have certain types of epithelial adenocarcinoma and be willing to avoid pregnancy. Exclusions include those with BRCA mutations intending to use PARP inhibitors, allergies to trial drugs, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled illnesses, other recent cancers or treatments that might interfere.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of oregovomab versus a placebo when given alongside standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) in patients after optimal debulking surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. The goal is to compare safety and efficacy outcomes between the two groups.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include allergic reactions due to murine proteins in oregovomab; typical chemo-related issues like nausea, fatigue, hair loss; blood count changes leading to increased infection risk; organ function problems related to liver or kidneys from drug toxicity.
