Comparing Luveltamab Tazevibulin to Standard Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer

REFRaME-O1: A Phase 2/3 Open-label Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Luveltamab Tazevibulin (STRO-002) Versus Investigator's Choice (IC) Chemotherapy in Women With Relapsed Platinum-resistant Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (Including Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancers) Expressing Folate Receptor Alpha (FOLR1)

Phase2; Phase3 Interventional Sutro Biopharma, Inc. · NCT05870748

This study is testing a new treatment called luveltamab tazevibulin to see if it works better and is safer than standard chemotherapy for women with relapsed ovarian cancer that doesn't respond to platinum-based treatments.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the efficacy and safety of luveltamab tazevibulin compared to investigator's choice chemotherapy in women with relapsed platinum-resistant ovarian cancer that expresses FOLR1. It is a randomized, multicenter, international trial divided into two parts: the first part aims to determine the optimal dosing regimen of luveltamab tazevibulin, while the second part evaluates its efficacy and safety against standard chemotherapy. Participants will receive the treatment intravenously every three weeks.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are women aged 18 and older with high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that expresses FOLR1.

Not a fit: Patients with low-grade ovarian carcinoma or those who have previously received FOLR1-targeting therapies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for women with difficult-to-treat ovarian cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar approaches targeting FOLR1, indicating potential for success in this trial.
