Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women ≥18 years with high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is platinum-resistant and cyclin E1–positive.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without cyclin E1 expression, lacking measurable disease, or with contraindications to the assigned therapies may not benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a randomized phase 3 study comparing azenosertib, a WEE1 inhibitor, to the investigator’s choice of chemotherapy in adults with platinum-resistant, cyclin E1–positive high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Eligible participants have measurable disease, good performance status, and tumors that express cyclin E1. The study assesses efficacy and safety, aiming to determine if the experimental treatment improves outcomes over standard chemotherapy options. Treatments are given in cycles with ongoing safety monitoring and tumor assessments per RECIST 1.1.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved disease control and possibly longer survival compared with standard chemotherapy choices.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies with WEE1 inhibitors in similar settings have shown activity, but this approach is relatively novel and results are still being established.

Prior mirvetuximab treatment is required, if eligible per standard of care 7. Adequate hematologic and organ function during the screening period Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of another malignancy in the previous 2 years, unless cured by surgery alone and continuously disease-free. Exceptions include appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, nonmelanoma skin carcinoma, Stage 1 uterine cancer, or other malignancies with an expected curative outcome. 2. Subjects with primary platinum-refractory disease. 3. Prior therapy with azenosertib or any other WEE1 inhibitor, ATR inhibitor, CHK1/2 inhibitor, or (PKMYT1) inhibitor for PROC. 4. A serious illness or medical condition(s) including, but not limited to, the following: 1. Clinically or radiographically unstable brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease that requires immediate treatment. Subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases are eligible. 2. Acute kidney injury requiring intervention, or presence of indwelling urinary catheter or percutaneous nephrostomy. 3. Significant gastrointestinal abnormalities, including an inability to take oral medication, requirement for IV alimentation, active peptic ulcer, chronic diarrhea or vomiting considered to be clinically significant in the judgment of the Investigator, or prior surgical procedures affecting absorption. 4. Any evidence of small bowel obstruction as determined by air/fluid levels on computed tomography (CT) scan, recent hospitalization for small bowel obstruction within 3 months before randomization, or recurrent paracentesis or thoracentesis within 6 weeks before randomization. 5. Active, uncontrolled infection. Subjects with an infection receiving treatment (antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral) must have completed such treatment and the infection must be considered controlled/resolved (and afebrile) by the Investigator for at least 7 days before randomization 6. Myocardial impairment of any cause resulting in heart failure by New York Heart Association criteria (Class II, III or IV). 7. Medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results 5. Any of the following treatment interventions within the specified time frame before randomization: 1. Hospitalization within 14 days 2. Major surgery within 28 days 3. Any chemotherapy or targeted tumor therapy within 21 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) 4. Radiation therapy within 21 days 5. Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within 3 months 6. Current use of any other investigational drug therapy \< 28 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) 6. Inability to discontinue treatment with prescription or nonprescription drugs that are prohibited per protocol. 7. Inability to discontinue consumption of food and herbal supplements that are prohibited per protocol 8. Prior wide-field radiotherapy affecting ≥ 20% of the bone marrow. 9. Unresolved toxicity of Grade \> 1 attributed to any prior therapies (excluding Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy, alopecia, or skin pigmentation). 10. Subjects who are immunocompromised or HIV-positive on highly active anti-retroviral therapy 11. Subjects with known active hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection 12. Individuals who are judged by the Investigator to be unsuitable as study subjects
