Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a combination of three drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, and pembrolizumab) given before surgery to shrink tumors in women with newly diagnosed stage III or IV ovarian cancer. After surgery, participants receive two maintenance drugs (olaparib and pembrolizumab) to help keep the cancer from coming back. The study will track how long the cancer stays under control, with 20 participants expected to enroll.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
carboplatin, paclitaxel, pembrolizumab, olaparib
What this could lead to
If successful, this could improve how long advanced ovarian cancer stays under control after initial treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of drugs may cause side effects, and the benefit over standard care is not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants are eligible to be included in the study only if all of the following criteria apply: 1. Participant has histologically confirmed FIGO Stage III or Stage IV EOC (high-grade predominantly serous, endometrioid, carcinosarcoma, mixed Mullerian with high grade serous component, clear cell, or low-grade serous OC), primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. 2. Participant is a candidate for carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy, to be administered in the neoadjuvant setting with planned interval debulking surgery. 3. Participant that is a candidate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy has a CA-125 (kilounits/L) : carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; ng/mL) ratio greater than or equal to 25 \[Vergote, I., et al 2010\]. Note: if the serum CA-125/CEA ratio is less than 25, then a workup should be negative for the presence of a non-ovarian cancer to determine eligibility (e.g., breast or gastrointestinal cancers \[including CRC\]). 5\. Participant is female and at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent. 6\. Participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, as assessed within 7 days prior to enrollment. 7\. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: a.) Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR b.) A WOCBP who agrees to follow contraceptive guidance during the Treatment Period and for at least 120 days following the last dose of pembrolizumab and olaparib and at least 210 days following the last dose of chemotherapy 8. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for future biomedical research; however, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research. 9\. Participant has adequate organ function as follows; all screening laboratory tests should be performed within 7 days of enrollment: 1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1500/μL 2.

Total bilirubin ≤1.5 ×ULN OR direct bilirubin ≤ULN for participants with total bilirubin levels \>1.5 × ULN 6. AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5 × ULN (≤5 × ULN for participants with liver metastases) 7. International normalized ratio (INR) OR prothrombin time (PT); Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤1.5 × ULN unless participant is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or aPTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants Exclusion Criteria: * Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: 1. Participant has mucinous, germ cell, or borderline tumor of the ovary. 2. Participant has a history of non-infectious pneumonitis that required treatment with steroids or currently has pneumonitis. 3. Participant either has myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or has features suggestive of MDS/AML. 4. Participant has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment in the last 3 years. Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., ductal carcinoma in situ, cervical carcinoma in situ) that has undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded. Additionally, participants with synchronous primary endometrial cancer or a past history of primary endometrial cancer that met the following conditions are not excluded: Stage not greater than I-A; no more than superficial myometrial invasion, without vascular or lymphatic invasion; no poorly differentiated subtypes, including papillary serous, clear cell or other FIGO Grade 3 lesions. 5. Participant has known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with brain metastases may participate provided they were previously treated (except with chemotherapy) and are radiologically stable, clinically stable, and no steroids were used for the management of symptoms related to brain metastases within 14 days prior to enrollment. Stable brain metastases should be established prior to the first dose of study medication. Note: Participants with known untreated, asymptomatic brain metastases (i.e., no neurological symptoms, no requirement for corticosteroids, no or minimal surrounding edema, and no lesion \>1.5 cm) may participate but will require regular imaging of the brain as a site of disease. 6. Participant has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (dosing exceeding 10 mg dailyof prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior to enrollment. 7. Participant has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Note: Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed. 8. Participant has a known history of active tuberculosis (TB; Bacillus Tuberculosis). 9. Participant has an active infection requiring systemic therapy. 10. Participant is considered to be of poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection. 11. Participant has had surgery to treat borderline tumors, early stage EOC, or fallopian tube cancer \<6 months prior to screening. 12.
