New hope for rare ovarian cancer: drug combo targets tumor growth
NCT ID NCT06072781
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether a combination of two drugs (avutometinib and defactinib) works better than standard treatments for people with recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer. About 270 participants whose cancer returned after platinum-based therapy will be randomly assigned to receive either the new combination or a standard treatment. The main goal is to see if the new combination delays cancer progression.
