Treatment for recurrent ovarian and other MUC16+ cancers using REGN4018 and cemiplimab

A Phase 1/2 Study of REGN4018 (Ubamatamab), a MUC16×CD3 Bispecific Antibody, Administered Alone or in Combination With Cemiplimab in Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Cancer or Other Recurrent MUC16+ Cancers

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional Regeneron Pharmaceuticals · NCT03564340

This study is testing if a new treatment combining REGN4018 and cemiplimab can help adults with recurrent ovarian and other MUC16+ cancers feel better when other options have run out.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of REGN4018, both alone and in combination with cemiplimab, in adult patients with recurrent ovarian cancer and other MUC16+ cancers. It will assess the pharmacokinetics of the drugs, determining how they are processed in the body, and monitor any therapeutic effects on the targeted cancers. The study includes patients who have experienced relapse after previous treatments and have limited standard therapy options available. The research will also investigate the tolerability of sarilumab when used in conjunction with the primary treatments.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults with recurrent ovarian cancer or other MUC16+ cancers who have limited treatment options and have previously received platinum-based therapies.

Not a fit: Patients with carcinosarcoma or those who have not received prior platinum-based therapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new treatment option for patients with recurrent ovarian and other MUC16+ cancers.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise with similar immunotherapy approaches, suggesting potential for success in this novel combination.

3. Prior treatment with a MUC16 - targeted therapy
4. Untreated or active primary brain tumor, central nervous system (CNS) metastases, or spinal cord compression, as described in the protocol
