Treatment for recurrent ovarian cancer with HER2 expression
Official title: A Single-arm, Multicenter, Phase II Study of RC48 Plus Platinum With or Without Bevacizumab in the Treatment of HER-2 Expression Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer
Run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute · NCT06420973 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new combination of treatments for women with recurrent ovarian cancer that has a specific protein called HER2 to see if it helps them feel better and live longer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 75 with confirmed HER2-positive recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma who have received 1 to 4 prior treatment lines.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have previously received targeted HER2 therapies or have an ECOG performance status greater than 1 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 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination therapy using RC48 and platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without bevacizumab, for patients with HER2-expressing platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. Initially, six subjects will undergo a safety monitoring period to assess any dose-limiting toxicities. The treatment regimen consists of RC48 administered every three weeks alongside carboplatin, and potentially bevacizumab, for a total of six cycles, followed by a maintenance phase until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes and quality of life for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer expressing HER2.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar HER2-targeted therapies in ovarian cancer, indicating potential for success in this approach.
