Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include women with histologically confirmed ovarian cancer or advanced solid tumors who meet specific health criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have recently undergone major surgery or those with certain pre-existing conditions may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This Phase I trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of APG-2449, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with PLD, for patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer and advanced solid tumors. The trial consists of two parts: Part A focuses on the monotherapy of APG-2449, while Part B examines its combination with PLD specifically for ovarian cancer. Participants will be monitored for adverse effects and treatment responses to determine the optimal dosing and effectiveness of the drug.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with limited treatment choices for advanced ovarian cancer and solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is novel in its specific application, similar studies have shown promise in targeting advanced cancers with new therapies.
