New antibody combo aims to fight back against recurrent ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT03564340
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study is testing a new drug called ubamatamab, given alone or with another drug called cemiplimab, in people with ovarian cancer or other cancers that have come back after treatment. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see if the drugs can shrink tumors. About 890 participants will take part in this early-stage research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ubamatamab (a bispecific antibody) and cemiplimab (an immunotherapy drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with recurrent ovarian cancer or other MUC16-positive cancers that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (phase 1/2), so the main goals are safety and dosing, not yet proving effectiveness. Side effects, including cytokine release syndrome, are possible, and the drug may not work for everyone.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Ovarian Cancer Cohorts Only: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of advanced, epithelial ovarian cancer (except carcinosarcoma), primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who have all of the following: 1. serum CA-125 level ≥2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (in screening, not required for low-grade serous carcinoma) 2. has received at least 1 line of platinum-containing therapy or must be platinum-intolerant (applicable for dose escalation and non-randomized dose expansion cohorts) 3. documented relapse or progression on or after the most recent line of therapy 4. no standard therapy options likely to convey clinical benefit 2. Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined in the protocol 3. Life expectancy of at least 3 months 4. Randomized phase 2 expansion cohort (Ovarian Cancer only): Platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients who have had 2 to 4 lines of platinum-based therapy as defined in the protocol. 5. Endometrial Cancer Cohorts Only: histologically confirmed endometrial cancer that has progressed or recurrent after prior anti-Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-1) therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy: 1. MUC16 positivity of tumor cells ≥25% by immunohistochemistry (IHC), as defined in the protocol 2. 1-4 prior lines of systemic therapy, as described in the protocol Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior treatment with anti-Programmed Cell Death (PD-1)/PD-L1 therapy, as described in the protocol 2. Ovarian Cancer Expansion cohorts only: More than 4 prior lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy (does not apply to low-grade serous ovarian cancer cohort) 3. Prior treatment with a MUC16 - targeted therapy 4. Untreated or active primary brain tumor, central nervous system (CNS) metastases, or spinal cord compression, as described in the protocol 5.
