Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals with a documented diagnosis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer who have experienced relapse after 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-serous ovarian cancer types or those who have not had prior treatment may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical study investigates the safety and efficacy of Raludotatug Deruxtecan, an antibody drug conjugate, in combination with standard treatments like Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Bevacizumab for patients with relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer. The study aims to determine how well this new treatment works alongside existing therapies and whether patients can tolerate the combination. Participants will be monitored for measurable disease progression and overall response to the treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients with relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies using antibody drug conjugates have shown promise in treating various cancers, suggesting potential success for this approach.
