New hope for hard-to-treat ovarian cancer: targeted drug combo enters trial
NCT ID NCT07285941
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called distamab vedotin (RC48) combined with carboplatin for people with advanced ovarian cancer that has a specific protein called HER2. The goal is to see if this combination works better and causes fewer side effects than standard chemotherapy. About 20 participants who have not had chemotherapy before will take part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Stage II-IV epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer confirmed by histopathological examination; * Received the first tumor cell debulking surgery before enrollment and achieved R0 or R1 resection; * HER2 expression: IHC 2+ or 3+; * Had not received chemotherapy before enrollment; * ECOG PS ≤ 2; * Expected survival period ≥ 3 months; * Adequate organ function. During the screening period, the following criteria should be met (normal values are based on the clinical trial center): Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%; Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L; Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); When there is no liver metastasis, ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 × ULN, and when there is liver metastasis, ALT and AST ≤ 5 × ULN; Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN or calculated creatinine clearance rate (CrCl) ≥ 50 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula; * Non-pregnant women; * Signed a written informed consent form before the trial. Exclusion Criteria: * Within one month prior to the start of treatment, the subject had received other anti-tumor treatments (such as radiotherapy, immunotherapy); * The subject had central nervous system diseases or brain metastases; * Had previously experienced grade II or above peripheral neuropathy; * Had an uncontrolled serious disease that would affect the subject's ability to receive treatment according to the study protocol: such as severe heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled infection, active peptic ulcer, etc.; * Had a history of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years (excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma and cervical cancer); * Had known allergies to the study-related drugs or their excipients or was intolerant to them; * Was participating in other clinical trials at the same time; * Subjects judged by the researcher to be unsuitable for this study.
