NCT ID NCT04089189
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new drug called IMP4297 in 93 women with advanced ovarian cancer that has a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation and has come back after at least two prior treatments. The goal was to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth. The drug is taken as a capsule and works by blocking a repair process that cancer cells rely on.
