Evaluation of Raludotatug Deruxtecan With Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, or Bevacizumab in Relapsed High-grade Serous Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

1 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of cancer known as high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, as well as similar cancers that affect the lining of the abdomen, called primary peritoneal cancer, and the tubes connecting the ovaries to the uterus, known as fallopian tube cancer. These cancers have returned after previous treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy. The study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment called Raludotatug Deruxtecan, also known by its code name MK-5909. This treatment will be tested alone and in combination with other cancer-fighting drugs, including Carboplatin, Paclitaxel, and Bevacizumab.

The study is designed to understand how well these treatments work together and how safe they are for patients. Participants will receive the treatments through an intravenous infusion, which means the medication is given directly into a vein. The study will be conducted in different groups, with some participants receiving Raludotatug Deruxtecan with Carboplatin, others with Paclitaxel, and another group with Bevacizumab. The goal is to find the best combination that offers the most benefit with the least side effects.

Throughout the study, researchers will closely monitor participants for any side effects and how their cancer responds to the treatment. The study will help determine the most effective and safe way to use these medications for treating these specific types of cancer. The trial is expected to continue for several years to gather enough information to make informed conclusions about the treatments being tested.

1 initial visit and baseline assessments

after joining the study, you attend an initial visit where eligibility is confirmed and baseline information is collected.

baseline assessments include medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies to document the current status of the cancer.

2 first treatment infusion

the first infusion combines raludotatug deruxtecan (r-dxd) with the investigational partner drug assigned to your cohort.

if assigned to cohort a-1 arm 1, r-dxd is given together with carboplatin at an area‑under‑curve (auc) of 5 mg/ml·min.

if assigned to cohort a-1 arm 2, r-dxd is given together with paclitaxel (dose determined by the protocol).

if assigned to cohort a-1 arm 3, r-dxd is given together with carboplatin at auc 4 mg/ml·min.

if assigned to cohort b-1 or b-2, r-dxd is given together with bevacizumab (dose determined by the protocol).

if assigned to cohort c-1, r-dxd is given together with pembrolizumab (dose determined by the protocol).

all drugs are administered by intravenous infusion according to the study schedule.

3 subsequent treatment cycles

treatment is repeated in cycles as defined by the study protocol.

each cycle includes another infusion of r-dxd together with the same partner drug used in the first cycle.

the number of cycles continues until a stopping rule is reached, such as disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or completion of the planned treatment period.

4 regular safety monitoring

before each infusion you undergo safety assessments that include laboratory tests and a physical examination.

any adverse events, including dose‑limiting toxicity, are recorded and evaluated.

the study team may adjust the dose or interrupt treatment based on these safety findings.

5 tumor response evaluations

imaging studies are performed at scheduled intervals to assess the tumor’s response to treatment.

responses are measured using the RECIST 1.1 criteria, which compare the size of target lesions over time.

6 study completion or discontinuation

treatment continues until one of the following occurs: disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable side effects, withdrawal from the study, or completion of the protocol‑defined treatment period.

if treatment is stopped, you will have a final safety assessment and a final imaging evaluation.

Must have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 (fully active or able to do light work) measured within 7 days before joining the study.
If you have a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV), the virus must not be detectable in your blood at screening.
If you are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, you must have taken hepatitis B antiviral medicine for at least 4 weeks and have an undetectable HBV viral load before joining.
If you are HIV‑positive, your HIV must be well‑controlled with anti‑retroviral therapy.
For participants in Cohort C‑1 or Cohort D: must have disease that came back after exactly one prior line of therapy, with scan‑shown progression at least 6 months (180 days) after the last platinum‑based chemotherapy (called platinum‑sensitive disease), and you must have progressed while taking a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) in the first‑line setting.
For participants in Cohort A‑1 Arm 2 or Arm 3: must have disease that came back after 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy, with scan‑shown progression at least 6 months (180 days) after the last platinum‑based chemotherapy (platinum‑sensitive disease).
For participants in Cohort B‑1 or Cohort B‑2: must have disease that came back after 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy, with scan‑shown progression less than 6 months (180 days) after the last platinum‑based chemotherapy (platinum‑resistant disease), and you must be a candidate for treatment with bevacizumab (a drug that blocks blood‑vessel growth to tumors).
Must have radiographic (scan) evidence of disease progression according to the time frames described above (≥6 months for platinum‑sensitive, <6 months for platinum‑resistant).

Who Cannot Join the Study?

Investigated Drugs:

Raludotatug deruxtecan is an experimental medicine that attaches an antibody, which seeks out cancer cells, to a chemotherapy payload. When the antibody finds a cancer cell, the attached chemotherapy is released inside the cell, helping to kill it. The trial is testing whether this drug can shrink ovarian and related cancers, either by itself or when combined with other treatments.

Carboplatin is a chemotherapy drug that contains platinum. It works by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells, which stops them from growing and leads to their death. In this study it is given together with the experimental drug to see if the combination is safe and effective.

Paclitaxel is a chemotherapy medicine from the taxane family. It blocks cancer cells from dividing by interfering with the structures (microtubules) they need to split. The trial uses it together with the experimental drug to evaluate safety and how well the two work together.

Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks a protein called VEGF, which tumors use to create new blood vessels. By stopping the formation of these vessels, the drug can slow tumor growth. The study combines it with the experimental drug to test safety and benefit.

Pembrolizumab is an immunotherapy drug that blocks the PD‑1 protein on immune cells, helping the body’s immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. It is being studied together with the experimental drug in patients whose cancer progressed after earlier treatments.

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma – High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma is a fast‑growing cancer that originates in the cells lining the ovary, fallopian tube, or the lining of the abdomen. It often spreads to the peritoneal cavity and nearby organs early in its course. The tumor can form solid masses and produce fluid in the abdomen. As it advances, cancer cells may implant on the surfaces of the abdomen and pelvis. Recurrent disease may appear after initial chemotherapy, showing new growths in the same or new locations.
