Giving TORL-1-23 with chemotherapy before initial surgery for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer
Official title: CATALINA-4: Phase 1B/2 Study of TORL-1-23 With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Interval Cytoreductive Surgery in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Advanced Stage Ovarian Cancer
Run by TORL Biotherapeutics, LLC · NCT07322094 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether adding TORL-1-23 to standard paclitaxel and carboplatin before initial surgery helps women with advanced (FIGO III/IV) ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer whose tumors are CLDN6-positive.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women with newly diagnosed FIGO stage III or IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with CLDN6-positive tumors, ECOG performance status 0–2, no prior systemic treatment or surgery, and adequate organ function are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with excluded histologies (clear cell, mucinous, sarcomatous, mixed, low-grade/borderline, or non-epithelial), prior systemic therapy or prior surgery, CLDN6-negative tumors, active uncontrolled medical conditions, brain metastases, or who are pregnant/breastfeeding are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1b/2 neoadjuvant trial adding the investigational agent TORL-1-23 to standard paclitaxel and carboplatin and giving the combination before initial (debulking) surgery. The Phase 1b portion will focus on safety and selecting the recommended dose when combined with chemotherapy, and the Phase 2 portion will look for signs of anti-tumor activity and surgical outcomes. Eligible participants are treatment-naïve women with FIGO stage III or IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that tests positive for CLDN6 and who have adequate organ function and ECOG ≤2. Key exclusions include certain histologies (clear cell, mucinous, low-grade/borderline, non-epithelial), prior systemic therapy or prior abdominal/pelvic radiation, active brain metastases, and pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could increase tumor shrinkage before surgery and improve the chances for a more complete surgical removal of cancer.
How similar studies have gone: CLDN6-targeted therapies are a relatively new approach with only limited early-phase signals of activity reported, so this is an early clinical test of this specific agent and combination.
