New drug combo aims to outsmart Platinum-Resistant ovarian cancer

NCT ID NCT02595892

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding an experimental drug called M6620 (berzosertib) to standard gemcitabine chemotherapy helps women with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that came back after platinum-based treatment. About 70 participants will receive either the combo or gemcitabine alone. The main goal is to see if the combo delays tumor growth longer than standard treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Berzosertib (M6620) plus gemcitabine

What this could lead to

If it works, this combination could slow tumor growth better than standard chemotherapy alone for women with hard-to-treat ovarian cancer.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial with only 70 participants. The added drug may not improve outcomes and could cause more side effects.
