Can a new drug tackle Hard-to-Treat gynecologic cancers?
NCT ID NCT07755436
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an investigational drug called ARR-002 in adults with advanced or metastatic ovarian or endometrial cancer, including cases that have stopped responding to platinum-based chemotherapy. The main goals are to assess the drug's safety, tolerability, and how the body processes it, while also looking for early signs that it can shrink tumors. Participants must have measurable disease and provide a tumor sample for testing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ARR-002, an investigational drug
- What this could lead to
- If successful, ARR-002 could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is not yet known if ARR-002 will effectively shrink tumors or improve outcomes. Side effects and limited benefit are possible.
Why investors are watching
ArriVent Biopharma is running a Phase 1 trial of its drug ARR-002 in people with advanced ovarian or endometrial cancer. For a very small company, this early safety and activity data is a key test of whether the drug works well enough to keep developing. A clear signal could define the company's future, while a weak result would leave it with few options.
If it works: If ARR-002 shows acceptable safety and signs of tumor shrinkage, ArriVent could advance the drug to later-stage trials. That progress might attract partners or funding to support further development.
If it fails: Phase 1 trials often fail to show enough benefit or reveal safety problems. A poor result or delay could stall the company's pipeline and reduce its ability to raise money, since it has few other assets mentioned.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with histologically and cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer, and platinum resistant who have failed or intolerant to standard therapy, or without alternative standard therapy. * Patients must have at least one measurable lesion according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). * Tumor specimen available for testing, or agree to biopsy at baseline. * The score of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1. * Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. * Organ functions and coagulation function must meet the basic requirements. * Patients with childbearing potential must use effective contraception during the treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with auristatin-derived drugs s (eg, MMAE and monomethyl auristatin F \[MMAF\]). * Received antitumor therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter. * Infection of active hepatitis B, active hepatitis C, or HIV. * Symptomatic Central nervous system and/or meninges metastasis. * History of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or diabetic neuropathy within 3 months before the first dose of study treatment. * Previous drug-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) or active ILD. * Poorly controlled pleural, peritoneal, and pelvic effusion, or combined pericardial effusion. * History of recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction. * Patients with more than one cancer. * Any other diseases, pulmonary dysfunction, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding * Grade ≥ 2 peripheral neuropathy * History of severe cardiovascular diseases. * Current use of anticoagulants or thrombolytic agents for therapeutic purposes. * Known allergic reactions to any component of ARR-002. * Prior treatment with MUC16- or NaPi2b-targeting agents. * Ocular conditions such as keratitis or corneal ulceration, monocularity, corneal transplantation, uncontrolled retinopathy, wet macular degeneration, uveitis, papilledema, or optic disc disorder. * Other situations that are not suitable to participate a clinical trial per investigator's judgement.
