Aitua plus Nab-Paclitaxel and Carboplatin before surgery for advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Phase II Clinical Study of Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel/Carboplatin Combined With Aitua Combination Antibody (PD-1/CTLA-4 Bispecific Antibody) for the Neoadjuvant Treatment of Advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer With Unsatisfactory Debulking
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT07432594 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether adding the PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody Aitua to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy helps achieve complete tumor removal before interval debulking surgery in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer patients who are not expected to be debulked to no visible disease initially.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (≥18) with newly diagnosed stage IIIC-IV HGSC, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer, who are deemed unlikely to achieve R0 resection with initial therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not respond to neoadjuvant therapy or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit from the addition of the antibody.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label study conducted at a single center to see if adding Aitua Combination Antibody to Nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin improves the rate of R0 resection in patients with stage IIIC-IV HGSC, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Participants receive 3 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy, followed by interval debulking surgery, with primary comparison on R0 resection rates between the antibody-containing and control arms. Secondary considerations include the immunologic effects of dual PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade in the tumor microenvironment and potential safety signals. The trial builds on the premise that remodeling the immune milieu can enhance surgical outcomes in HGSC. The study is designed as a single-center, open-label trial with blinded assessment of surgical endpoints.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may have a higher chance of complete tumor removal at surgery and potentially improved outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies with dual PD-1/CTLA-4 blockade show potential signals in gynecologic cancers, but results are early and context-specific; this approach is somewhat novel in ovarian cancer.
