Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer who have measurable disease and meet specific health criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer or those who have had prior anti-angiogenesis therapy (except bevacizumab) may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of the investigational drug Regorafenib in combination with hormone therapy Fulvestrant for patients with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer. The treatment aims to disrupt cancer cell growth and the formation of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Participants will receive the treatment until disease progression or unacceptable side effects occur, with maintenance therapy continuing for those who achieve a complete response for up to 12 months.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combinations of targeted therapies and hormone treatments, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

  * Infrequent bleeding or elevations in PT-INR have been reported in some subjects taking warfarin while on regorafenib therapy. Therefore, subjects taking concomitant warfarin should be monitored regularly for changes in PT, PT-INR or clinical bleeding episodes.

  * Prophylactic doses of heparin.
* Use of any herbal remedy (e.g. St. John's wort \[Hypericum perforatum\])
