A Clinical Study of Raludotatug Deruxtecan in People With Ovarian Cancer (MK-5909-003)

Recruiting now · Phase 1/Phase 2

Conditions studied: Ovarian Cancer Recurrent

In brief

Researchers are looking for other ways to treat relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer. Relapsed means the cancer came back after treatment. High-grade means the cancer cells grow and spread quickly. Serous means the cancer started in the cells that cover the ovaries, the lining of the belly, or in the fallopian tubes. Standard treatment (usual treatment) for people with relapsed high-grade serous ovarian cancer may include: * Chemotherapy, which is a treatment that uses medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing * Targeted therapy, which is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread Raludotatug deruxtecan (R-DXd) is a study treatment that is an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). An ADC attaches to a protein on cancer cells and delivers treatment to destroy those cells. Researchers want to know if R-DXd is safe to take with other treatments and if people tolerate them together. They also want to learn how many people have the cancer respond (gets smaller or goes away) to the treatments.

• Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks, and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to allocation/randomization
• Participants with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at screening
• Participants in Cohort C-1 and Cohort D: Has relapsed disease after 1 prior line of therapy, radiographic evidence of disease progression ≥6 months (≥180 days) after the last dose of platinum-based therapy (ie, platinum-sensitive disease) and progressed during prior treatment with PARPi in the first-line setting
• Cohort A-2 Arms 1, 2, and 3: Has relapsed disease after 1 prior line of therapy and radiographic evidence of disease progression ≥6 months (≥180 days) after the last dose of platinum-based therapy (ie, platinum-sensitive disease)

• Has ≥Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy
• Has received prior treatment with cadherin-6-targeted agents
• Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before allocation

• Receives chronic steroid treatment
• Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years
• Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis
• Has any history of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis irrespective of prior steroid use, current ILD, or suspected ILD, or ILD that cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening
