Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18–75 with FIGO stage III–IV, pathologically confirmed HRD-negative high-risk ovarian cancer who have HER2 expression (IHC 1+–3+), measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients without HER2 expression, with HRD-positive disease, poor performance status, or significant organ dysfunction are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this treatment.

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 prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II study enrolling 43 patients with pathologically confirmed HER2-expressing, HRD-negative high-risk ovarian cancer (FIGO stage III–IV). Participants receive disitamab vedotin combined with carboplatin (AUC 5 every 21 days) and bevacizumab (7.5–15 mg/kg every 21 days) as first-line therapy. Patients who achieve a complete or partial response continue maintenance with disitamab vedotin (up to 6 months) plus bevacizumab (until progression or up to 22 cycles) per investigator decision. HER2 expression must be documented locally and will be centrally confirmed, and eligible patients require measurable disease and ECOG performance status 0–1.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this regimen could increase response rates and prolong progression-free survival for patients with HER2-expressing, HRD-negative high-risk ovarian cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Early-phase studies of disitamab vedotin and other HER2-targeted antibody–drug conjugates have shown activity in HER2-expressing tumors, but using RC48 with platinum and bevacizumab as first-line therapy in HRD-negative high-risk ovarian cancer is largely novel.
