Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.

Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested two immunotherapy drugs, durvalumab and tremelimumab, given with chemotherapy before and after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. The goal was to see if this combination is safe and feasible. About 69 women with stage IIIC to IV ovarian cancer took part. The results help guide future research on using immunotherapy earlier in treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
durvalumab and tremelimumab (immune checkpoint inhibitors) plus chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced ovarian cancer by combining immunotherapy with standard chemotherapy before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 69 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Immune-related side effects are possible and could be serious.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: I-1 Female patients must be ≥ 18 years of age. I-2 Signed informed consent and ability to comply with treatment and follow-up. I-3 Patients with newly histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer (or fallopian tube or primary peritoneal adenocarcinoma). I-4 Advanced FIGO stage IIIC to IV. I-5 Patients for whom primary debulking surgery has been denied after an evaluation through laparoscopy or laparotomy. I-6 Patient for whom a neo-adjuvant strategy has been planned. I-7 Interval between diagnosis and enrolment (informed consent signed) ≤ 8 weeks. I-8 Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1. I-9 Geriatric vulnerability score (GVS) \< 3 for patients ≥ 70 years. I-10 Adequate organ and bone marrow function. I-11 Patients not receiving anticoagulant medication who have an International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 and an Activated ProThrombin Time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN. The use of full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants is permitted as long as the INR or aPTT is within therapeutic limits (according to site medical standard) and if the patient is on a stable dose of anticoagulants for at least two weeks at the time of randomization. I-12 As this study will include patients in France, a subject will be eligible for randomization in this study only if either affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social category. Exclusion Criteria: E-1 Other malignancy within the last 5 years except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer of the cervix, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). E-2 Major surgical procedure (defined by the resection of at least one organ including ovary) within 28 days prior to the first dose. E-3 Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational product, biological, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment. E-4 Previous treatment with immunotherapy, including, but not limited to, anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 antibodies, or therapeutic anticancer vaccine. E-5 Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders The following are exceptions to this criterion: 1. Patients with vitiligo or alopecia, 2. Patients with hypothyroidism (eg, following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement or psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment. E-6 Current/prior immunosuppressive medication ≤ 14 days before first durvalumab and tremelimumab dose (including, but not limited to, prednisone, dexamethasone, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\] agents) within 2 weeks prior to Cycle 1, Day 1, or anticipated requirement for systemic immunosuppressive medications during the trial. E-7 Immunocompromised patients, e.g., patients who are known to be serologically positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Patients with active hepatitis B (defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] test at screening) or hepatitis C. Patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or resolved HBV infection (defined as having a negative HBsAg test and a positive antibody to hepatitis B core antigen \[anti-HBc\] antibody test) are eligible. E-8 Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled hypothyroidism. E-9 Treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents (including but not limited to interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) within 4 weeks or five half- lives of the drug (whichever is shorter) prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. E-10 History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (including pneumonitis), drug-induced pneumonitis, organizing pneumonia (i.e., bronchiolitis obliterans, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia), or evidence of active pneumonitis.

E-26 Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant or previous solid organ transplantation. E-27 Patients with evidence of abdominal free air not explained by paracentesis or recent surgical procedure. E-28 Evidence of any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or puts the patient at high risk for treatment related complications. E-29 Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or male or female patients of reproductive potential (\< 2 years after last menstruation and not surgically sterile) who are not willing to employ effective birth control from screening to 180 days after the last dose of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy or 90 days after the last dose of durvalumab monotherapy, whichever is the longer time period. E-30 History of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins.
