Immunotherapy-Chemo combo before surgery shows promise for advanced ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT07673835
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy drugs (iparomlimab and tuvonralimab) with standard chemotherapy before surgery can improve outcomes for people with advanced ovarian cancer. Participants receive 3-4 cycles of the combination, followed by surgery to remove visible tumors, then more chemo after surgery. The study aims to see if this approach extends the time before the cancer progresses. It enrolls 49 adults with stage III or IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are candidates for surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- iparomlimab and tuvonralimab (immunotherapy) plus platinum-based chemotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could become a new standard neoadjuvant treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, potentially delaying disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with no control group, so results may not be definitive. Immunotherapy can cause immune-related side effects, and not all patients may respond.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically or cytologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, FIGO 2014 stage III-IV disease; 2. Female patients aged 18 to 75 years; 3. Willing and able to provide written informed consent and comply with study visits and protocol-specified procedures; 4. Candidates for cytoreductive surgery (debulking surgery); 5. At least one measurable lesion according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1; 6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1; 7. Estimated life expectancy of at least 6 months; 8. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study period, and a negative serum or urine pregnancy test is required prior to enrollment; 9. Adequate organ function. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Histological subtypes other than epithelial ovarian carcinoma, including mucinous carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma. 2. Pregnant women or patients whose most recent pregnancy was terminated within 2 weeks prior to screening. 3. Clinically significant hydronephrosis not amenable to stenting or nephrostomy, or presence of CNS metastases or carcinomatous meningitis. 4. History of other malignancies within 3 years, except for adequately treated curable cancers (e.g., skin basal cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the breast). 5. Prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors or other immunomodulatory anticancer therapies. 6. Major surgery within 4 weeks before study treatment, or planned major surgery during the study period. 7. Severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease. 8. Unresolved ≥ Grade 2 toxicity (CTCAE v5.0) from prior anticancer therapy, excluding alopecia. 9. Known hypersensitivity to study drugs or their components. 10. Any condition that may compromise patient safety or interfere with study evaluation, as judged by the investigator.
