New antibody combo shows promise for tough ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT04938583
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a new drug combination for women with recurrent ovarian cancer that has come back after initial treatment. The study includes 54 participants and uses an antibody called oregovomab along with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. The goal is to see if this mix is safe and can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- oregovomab (an antibody drug) combined with bevacizumab, paclitaxel, and carboplatin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for women with recurrent ovarian cancer who have limited choices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination also carries risks like side effects from chemotherapy and the antibody.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult females (19 years old and older) with CA125-associated recurrent epithelial adenocarcinoma of ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal origin. 2. Have one of the eligible histologic epithelial cell types: serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, carcinosarcoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.). 3. Patients must have had a complete or partial response to front-line platinum-based therapy (at least three cycles) and a treatment -free interval without clinical evidence of progressive disease at least 6 months. 4. No known deleterious or pathogenic germline or somatic BRreast CAncer gene (BRCA) mutation 5. Must have had an elevated serum CA125 \> 2 times of UNL measured at the first diagnosis or screening within 28 days of start of study treatment. 6. Must have measurable disease, including identification of marker lesions, by radiographic or physical criteria suitable for evaluation according to RECIST v1.1 for documentation of disease response or progression. 7. Must have a ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1 or 2 8. Must have adequate organ function defined as: 1. neutrophil count ≥1000 μL 2. platelet count ≥100,000 μL 3. Hemoglobin \>9.0 g/dl 4. Serum creatinine \<1.5 times the upper normal limits (UNL) or creatinine clearance \> 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 5. bilirubin \<1.5 times the UNL 6. SGOT and SGPT \< 2 times the UL 9. Must have voluntarily agreed to participate and have signed the informed consent, and are willing to complete all study procedures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have received more than one line of chemotherapy (maintenance is not considered a second line) 2. Have an active autoimmune disease (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, SLE, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, MS, ankylosing spondylitis) requiring continuing immune suppressive therapy 3. Use of immunosuppressants within 28 days prior to the first administration of the current or clinical trial drug. However, intranasal, inhalation, and systemic administration of prednisone 10 mg/day or a physiological dose not exceeding the equivalent dose of corticosteroids are recognized as exceptions. 4. Known allergy to murine proteins or have had a documented anaphylactic reaction to any drug, or a known hypersensitivity to diphenhydramine or other antihistamines of similar chemical structure. 5. Known active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections (testing during the study is not mandatory). 6. Recognized immunodeficiency condition including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, cellular immunodeficiencies, hypogamma globulinemia or dysgammaglobulinemia; subjects who have acquired, hereditary, or congenital immunodeficiency's, including HIV infection 7. Patients with previous solid organ transplantation 8. Evidence of clinically significant cardiovascular conditions including uncontrolled hypertension, myocardial infarction within 1 year, uncontrolled or unstable angina, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III or IV), arrhythmia (Grade 2 or higher), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, clinical significant proteinuria (\>1g/24hr urine) 9. Patients with other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanomatous skin cancer, who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last 5 years or whose previous cancer treatment contraindicates with this protocol. 10. Have ever previously received oregovomab or bevacizumab 11. Patients who received major surgical procedure within 28days 12. Pregnant or breast-feeding
