New drug combo aims to outsmart Platinum-Resistant ovarian cancer

NCT ID NCT05198804

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new drug called ZN-c3 (azenosertib), either alone or combined with niraparib, in 117 women with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to find safe doses and see if the drugs can shrink tumors. It is an early-stage trial, so while promising, it is not yet proven as a 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

Azenosertib (ZN-c3) and niraparib

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for women with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 117 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The combination may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
