Immune army targets ovarian cancer in new trial
NCT ID NCT03393962
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a personalized cell therapy for advanced ovarian cancer. About 20 women will receive immune cells engineered to recognize and attack their cancer. The main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment shrinks tumors.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Written, informed consent obtained prior to any study-specific procedures. 2. Age older than 10 years. 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) PS of 0 or 1. 4. Expected survival ≥ 12 weeks. 5. Histologically confirmed and documented high risk International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO): Stage II-IV. 6. Not pregnant, and on appropriate birth control of childbearing potential. 7. Initial hematopoietic reconstitution with * neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mm\^3; * platelet (PLT) ≥ 100,000/mm\^3. 8. Proper renal and hepatic functions (ULN denotes "upper limit of normal range") with * serum creatinine ≤ 2×ULN; * serum bilirubin ≤ 2×ULN; * AST/ALT ≤ 2×ULN; * ALKP ≤ 5×ULN; * serum bilirubin. 2.0 is acceptable in the setting of known Gilbert's syndrome. 9. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) test negative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with ovarian tumors with low malignant potential (i.e. borderline tumors); 2. Patients with evidence of abdominal free air not explained by paracentesis or recent surgical procedure (prior, current or planned treatment). 3. Prior treatment of any adoptive T cell therapy. 4. Current or recent treatment (within the 14-day period prior to Day 0) with any immune suppressive drug 5.
