New hope for Hard-to-Treat ovarian cancer: drug combo shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT05483933
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new drug called SL-172154 combined with either of two standard chemotherapies in 86 people with ovarian cancer that had stopped responding to platinum-based treatment. The main goals were to check safety and find the best dose. Researchers also looked for signs that the tumors shrank. The study is now complete, and results will help guide future research.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subject has voluntarily agreed to participate by giving written informed consent in accordance with ICH/GCP guidelines and applicable local regulations. 2. Age ≥18 years 3. \[PLD Cohort\] Subject has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of high grade epithelial ovarian cancer, including primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. Non-epithelial tumors and ovarian tumors with low malignant potential are excluded. 4. \[PLD Cohort\] Subject must have platinum-resistant disease, defined as radiologic disease progression within 180 days (6 months) following the last administered dose of platinum therapy. Subjects who are primary platinum-refractory, defined by progressing during or within 1 month of upfront platinum therapy, are excluded. 5. \[PLD Cohort\] Subjects may have received any number of prior lines of therapy for epithelial ovarian cancer; however, they may not have received more than 1 prior line of systemic anticancer therapy for platinum-resistant disease. 6. \[MIRV Cohort\] Subject has a histologically confirmed diagnosis of high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, including primary peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer. Non-epithelial tumors and ovarian tumors with low malignant potential are excluded. 7. \[MIRV Cohort\] Subject must have platinum-resistant disease as defined by: * Subjects who have only had 1 line of platinum-based therapy must have received at least 4 cycles of platinum, must have had a response (complete response/remission \[CR\] or partial response/remission \[PR\]) and then progressed between \>3 months and ≤6 months after the date of the last dose of platinum. * Subjects who have received 2 or 3 lines of platinum therapy must have progressed on or within 6 months after the date of the last dose of platinum. * Subjects who are platinum refractory during front-line treatment are excluded \[primary platinum-refractory disease, defined as disease that did not respond to (CR or PR) or has progressed within 3 months of the last dose of first-line platinum-containing chemotherapy\] 8. \[MIRV Cohort\] Subjects must have received at least 1 but no more than 3 prior systemic lines of anticancer therapy. 9. \[MIRV Cohort\] Willing to provide an archival tumor tissue block or slides or undergo procedure to obtain new biopsy using a low-risk, medically routine procedure for IHC confirmation of FRα positivity. 10. \[MIRV Cohort\] Subject's tumor must be positive for FRα expression (defined as PS2+ ≥ 25% by the Ventana FOLR1 Assay). 11. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 or 1. 12. Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 using radiologic assessment. 13. Adequate organ and hematologic function 14. Subjects must have stabilized or recovered (Grade 1 or baseline) from all prior anti-cancer therapy-related toxicities. 15. \[MIRV Cohort, Dose Expansion only\] Willing to consent to 1 mandatory pre-treatment and 1 on-treatment tumor biopsy, unless there is excessive risk from the procedure as determined by the investigator Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with a signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) targeting agent, anti-CD47 agent or CD40 agonist. 2. \[PLD Cohort\] Prior treatment with doxorubicin or PLD 3. \[MIRV Cohort\] Prior treatment with MIRV or another FRα-targeting agent 4. Any anti-cancer therapy within the time intervals specified per protocol. 5. Concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment is prohibited. 6. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine (including live attenuated vaccines for COVID-19) within 28 days of the first dose of study treatment. 7. Current or prior use of systemic immunosuppressive medication within 7 days prior to first dose of study treatment. 8. \[MIRV Cohort\] Requires use of folate-containing supplements (e.g., folate deficiency) 9. Active or documented history of autoimmune disease that has required treatment with a disease modifying agent or immunosuppressive therapy in the past two years, history of multiple sclerosis (MS) or other demyelinating disease and/or Lambert-Eaton syndrome (paraneoplastic syndrome). Exceptions include controlled Type I diabetes, vitiligo, alopecia areata or hypo/hyperthyroidism. 10. Ongoing or active infection (e.g., no systemic antimicrobial therapy for treatment of infection within 5 days of D1 of study treatment). 11. Known severe hypersensitivity to the active drug substance or to any of the excipients for the agents to be administered or known hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary cell products. 12. Severe gastrointestinal conditions. 13. Clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease 14. \[MIRV Cohort\] History of cirrhotic liver disease (Child-Pugh Class B or C) 15. \[MIRV Cohort\] Active or chronic corneal disorders, history of corneal transplantation, or active ocular conditions requiring ongoing treatment/monitoring, such as uncontrolled glaucoma, wet age-related macular degeneration requiring intravitreal injections, active diabetic retinopathy with macular edema, macular degeneration, presence of papilledema, and/or monocular vision. 16. Previous clinical diagnosis of noninfectious interstitial lung disease (ILD), including noninfectious pneumonia. 17. Untreated central nervous system or leptomeningeal metastases. 18. Another malignancy that requires active therapy and that, in the opinion of the investigator and Sponsor, would interfere with monitoring of radiologic assessments of response to the study treatment. 19. Has undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation or organ transplantation. 20. Known history or positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or positive test for hepatitis B (positive for hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\]) or hepatitis C virus (\[HCV\]
