What this trial studies

This Phase 1b open-label, multicenter study investigates the safety and tolerability of ZN-c3 in combination with other chemotherapy agents for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The study aims to assess the preliminary clinical activity, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the treatment regimen. Eligible participants must have high-grade serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma or related conditions and have previously undergone one or two lines of therapy. The study will be conducted at multiple sites across the United States.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with high-grade serous epithelial ovarian carcinoma who have received one or two prior lines of therapy.

Not a fit: Patients with low-grade tumors or those who have not received prior treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

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

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar combination therapies in treating ovarian cancer, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
