Pre-screening to match ovarian cancer tumor samples with investigational cancer drugs
Official title: Development of Drug Response Predictor (DRP) to Test Sensitivity to Investigational Anti-Cancer Drugs in Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Run by Allarity Therapeutics · NCT03877796 · Data updated 2026-11-12
Tests if analyzing archived tumor tissue with a Drug Response Predictor can show which ovarian cancer patients might benefit from certain investigational cancer drugs.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates have histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer that is platinum-resistant or platinum-ineligible, have available FFPE tumor tissue, and have received no more than one prior line of therapy in the platinum-resistant/ineligible setting.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with platinum-refractory disease (progression during the last platinum-based chemotherapy), those without available FFPE tissue, or those with other active non‑cured malignancies are unlikely to benefit from this pre-screening.

What this trial studies
This observational pre-screening protocol collects patients' archival or metastatic FFPE tumor tissue to run the Drug Response Predictor (DRP®) developed by Allarity Therapeutics. The DRP® output is used to identify whether specimens show predicted sensitivity to investigational agents available through the sponsor and to compare predicted sensitivity with prior chemotherapy responses in retrospective analyses. Eligible participants generally have epithelial ovarian cancer that is platinum-resistant or platinum-ineligible and have available FFPE tissue; platinum-refractory patients are excluded. The program is conducted at multiple U.S. cancer centers and is intended to generate data to guide future treatment decisions and prospective testing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could help identify patients more likely to respond to specific investigational drugs and guide future treatment choices.
How similar studies have gone: Similar gene-expression and in vitro drug-response predictor approaches have shown promising retrospective correlations but have limited prospective validation to date.
