Official title
A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-label Study of Raludotatug Deruxtecan (MK-5909, R-DXd) Maintenance Treatment With or Without Bevacizumab Versus Standard of Care in Participants With Newly-Diagnosed Advanced Non-HRD-Positive Ovarian Cancer Following First-line Platinum-based Chemotherapy (ENGOT-ov102/MITO/GOG-3141/ REJOICE-Ovarian 04)
About this study
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat ovarian cancer (OC). Current treatment for OC may start with surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible. After surgery, people may receive chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, standard care options may include:
Maintenance treatment, which is used after another therapy to keep the cancer from growing, spreading, or coming back. Bevacizumab is a targeted therapy used as standard maintenance treatment. Targeted therapy works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread.
Observation, which is watching to see if cancer grows or worsens. The study medicine, raludotatug deruxtecan- R-DXd, is a targeted therapy. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive R-DXd maintenance treatment with or without bevacizumab live longer without the cancer getting worse than people who receive standard care.
