Raludotatug Deruxtecan With or Without Bevacizumab as First‑Line Maintenance in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study of Raludotatug Deruxtecan (MK-5909, R-DXd) Maintenance Treatment With or Without Bevacizumab Versus Standard of Care in Participants With Newly-Diagnosed Advanced Non-HRD-Positive Ovarian Cancer Following First-line Platinum-based Chemotherapy (ENGOT-ov102/MITO/GOG-3141/ REJOICE-Ovarian 04)

Run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC · NCT07776691 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether maintenance therapy with raludotatug deruxtecan, with or without bevacizumab, helps people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer live longer without the cancer growing after initial treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with new FIGO stage III/IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who had debulking surgery, completed platinum-based chemotherapy with a response, and have viable tumor tissue available for analysis.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose cancer does not respond to maintenance therapy or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 3 study evaluates raludotatug deruxtecan as maintenance therapy after initial debulking surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy for high-risk epithelial ovarian cancer and related peritoneal cancers. Participants are assigned to receive either raludotatug deruxtecan alone or with bevacizumab, or standard maintenance care, to see which approach best prolongs progression-free survival. The trial includes patients who have undergone surgery and responded to platinum therapy, and requires tumor samples not previously irradiated. Key safety monitoring will track treatment-related adverse events and recovery from any prior toxicities. Enrollment is limited to sites in the United States where experienced ovarian cancer teams can manage targeted therapy regimens.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could extend the time patients live without cancer progression after initial treatment.

How similar studies have gone: Prior similar approaches with targeted maintenance strategies have shown activity in ovarian cancer, but the specific combination and maintenance setting are being tested for clarity of benefit here.

* Has undergone primary debulking surgery (PDS) or interval debulking surgery (IDS)
* Has completed first-line (1L) platinum-based chemotherapy, with a response of stable disease, partial response, complete response or no evidence of disease per protocol
* Has provided tumor tissue that is not previously irradiated
* Who have AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to Grade ≤1 or baseline (except alopecia or vitiligo), as assessed by the physician investigator

* Has a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive, unknown, or inconclusive tumor status as determined by the central laboratory
* Has active inflammatory bowel disease requiring immunosuppressive medication or previous history of inflammatory bowel disease
* Has clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder or prior pneumonectomy
* Has current, clinically relevant bowel obstruction including obstruction related to underlying EOC, abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation, intra-abdominal abscess, or evidence of rectosigmoid involvement by pelvic exam
* HIV-infected participants with a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or multicentric Castleman disease
* Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years
* Has active infection requiring systemic therapy
