Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with relapsed or refractory epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer who have had at least two prior systemic therapies (including at least one platinum) and have measurable disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose tumors do not respond to Mn2+-primed therapy or who cannot tolerate the combination regimen may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 3 study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Mn2+-primed immunochemotherapy (manganese chloride with an anti-PD-1 antibody, nab-paclitaxel, and platinum chemotherapy) versus placebo in adults with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer that has relapsed after prior therapy. The approach aims to enhance anti-tumor immunity by activating the cGAS-STING pathway with manganese while combining standard chemotherapy and PD-1 blockade. Eligible participants have limited prior treatment options, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and a life expectancy of more than six months. The trial is randomized, single-blind, and compares the Mn2+-primed regimen to a control regimen with placebo, to confirm efficacy and further assess safety. Primary outcomes typically include progression-free survival and overall response rate, with secondary endpoints such as overall survival and safety profiles.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience longer disease control and improved survival when Mn2+-primed immunochemotherapy is used alongside PD-1 inhibition and chemotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: Earlier phase studies suggested potential benefit from adding manganese to PD-1 blockade and chemotherapy, supporting progression to a phase III trial, though this approach remains investigational.

2. Serum total bilirubin levels higher than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range.
3. ALT, AST, or ALP levels higher than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range when there are no liver metastases; ALT, AST, or ALP levels higher than 5 times the upper limit of the reference range when there are liver metastases.
4.
