New treatment option for Malignant Ovarian Epithelial Tumor
Official title ONC201 Plus Weekly Paclitaxel in Patients With Platinum Refractory or Resistant Ovarian Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04055649
What this study is testing
What is Akt/ERK Inhibitor ONC201?
Akt/ERK Inhibitor ONC201 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for malignant ovarian epithelial tumor.
Also referred to as ONC201, TIC10.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This phase II trial studies the side effects of ONC201 and paclitaxel and how well they work in treating patients with platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back (recurrent), or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC201 is the first in its class of drugs that antagonize some specific cell receptors on cancer cells, leading to their destruction.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
