What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether torvutatug samrotecan, alone or with bevacizumab, works better than standard care as maintenance therapy for people with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The trial enrolls about 600 participants who have had one or two prior lines of systemic treatment and whose cancer returned at least six months after platinum chemotherapy. The main goal is to measure how long participants live without their cancer progressing.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
torvutatug samrotecan, an antibody-drug conjugate that targets folate receptor alpha and delivers a topoisomerase I inhibitor
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new maintenance option that delays cancer progression for people whose ovarian cancer has come back after platinum chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
The drug is still experimental and may not outperform standard maintenance therapy, or it could add side effects without a clear survival benefit. Results from this trial will take years to mature.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants with confirmed histology of high-grade epithelial serous or endometrioid ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. * Provision of an archival FFPE tumour sample * Participants who received at least one, and no more than 2 lines of prior systemic anticancer therapy. * Participants with radiologically confirmed disease relapse ≥ 6 months after their last platinum chemotherapy infusion in the previous line of treatment * Participants who received at least 6 cycles of PBC during the induction phase of their current line of treatment. * Participants assigned to bevacizumab must have received a minimum of 3 cycles of bevacizumab with 3 cycles of PBC prior to randomisation. * Participants with non-progressive disease upon completion of PBC in their current line of treatment. * Participants with documented BRCA mutation 1/2 must have received prior PARP inhibitor (unless ineligible due to contraindications, precautions, or intolerance). Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with tumours of non-epithelial origin, borderline tumours, clear cell OC, mucinous OC, carcinosarcoma, or low-grade epithelial tumours. * Participants with history of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required steroids, or supplemental oxygen, or has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at Screening * Participants with non-healing wound, active ulcer, or bone fracture (not applicable if not receiving bevacizumab) * Participants with evidence of active or ongoing bowel obstruction (not applicable if not receiving bevacizumab) * Participants with prior exposure to any FRα-targeted therapy, including MIRV, or any TOP1i Antibody-drug Conjugate (ADC)
