Clinical trial Recruiting at 177 sites Phase 3 Interventional Ages 18 and up Women only

Sac-TMT maintenance for people with non-HRD advanced ovarian cancer

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter Study of Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (Sac-TMT, MK-2870) 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 (TroFuse-021/ENGOTov85/GOG-3102)

Run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC · NCT07318558 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial sees if sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac‑TMT), given with or without bevacizumab, can keep cancer from getting worse after surgery and first‑line platinum chemotherapy in people with non‑HRD advanced ovarian cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma who are non‑HRD positive, have completed primary or interval debulking surgery and first‑line platinum chemotherapy with at least stable disease, and can provide tumor tissue and attend participating U.S. sites.

Probably not a fit

People with nonepithelial tumors, certain low‑grade histologies (for example low‑grade serous or low‑grade endometrioid tumors), those who have not completed standard surgery or first‑line platinum chemotherapy, or who meet other exclusion criteria are unlikely to be eligible or 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 trial enrolls people with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma who have completed primary or interval debulking surgery and first‑line platinum‑based chemotherapy with at least stable disease. Eligible participants provide tumor tissue and are assigned to receive sac‑TMT maintenance with or without bevacizumab or to standard care (bevacizumab maintenance or observation) per protocol. The main outcome is how long participants live without their cancer getting worse (progression‑free survival), along with safety monitoring. The trial is sponsored by Merck and is conducted at multiple U.S. cancer centers.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could extend the time without disease progression and offer a new maintenance option for people with non‑HRD advanced ovarian cancer.

How similar studies have gone: Antibody–drug conjugates and bevacizumab have shown activity in ovarian and other cancers, but sac‑TMT as maintenance specifically for non‑HRD advanced ovarian cancer is a newer approach without established phase 3 results to date.

Who can join: the full rules

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

* Has diagnosis of FIGO 2014 Stage III or Stage IV, histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma with one of the following histologies: high-grade serous, high-grade endometrioid, clear cell carcinoma, or malignant mixed Müllerian tumour with a high-grade serous component. Tumors reported as Grade 2 may be enrolled only if predominately (\>50%) Grade 3 features are present.

* Has provided tumor tissue that is not previously irradiated.
* Has well-controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) on antiretroviral therapy if diagnosed with HIV
* Has undetectable hepatitis B virus (HBV) viral load and received HBV antiviral therapy if hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive.
* Has undetectable hepatitis C virus (HCV) viral load if has a history of HCV infection.

The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:

* Has nonepithelial cancers, low-grade serous tumors, low-grade endometrioid tumors, borderline tumors mucinous, seromucinous that is predominantly mucinous, malignant Brenner's tumor, and undifferentiated carcinoma.

* Has a history of severe eye disease.
* Has active inflammatory bowel disease requiring immunosuppressive medication or a previous history of inflammatory bowel disease.
* Has uncontrolled, significant cardiovascular disease or cerebrovascular disease.
* Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease (ILD), which required steroids, has current pneumonitis/ILD, or has suspected ILD, or pneumonitis that cannot be ruled out by standard diagnostic assessments at Screening.
* Received prior systemic anticancer therapy, with the exception of the first-line platinum-based chemotherapy required by the inclusion criteria.
* Had a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days of randomization.
* Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or required active treatment within the past 3 years.
* Has active infection requiring systemic therapy.
* Has concurrent and active HBV and HCV infections.
* Has HIV infection and a history of Kaposi's sarcoma and/or multicentric Castleman's disease.
* Has not recovered from major surgery or has ongoing surgical complications.
* Has a homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)-positive, unknown, or inconclusive tumor status as determined by the central laboratory.
* Active or ongoing stomatitis of any grade.
