New treatment option for Ovarian Cancer
Official title Decitabine and Selinexor in Combination to Reverse Drug Resistance With Standard Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05983276
What this study is testing
What is Decitabine?
Decitabine is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for ovarian cancer.
Also referred to as Dacogen.
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
- The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the side effects and effectiveness of this novel four-drug combination of chemotherapy (decitabine, selinexor, carboplatin and paclitaxel) on patients with relapsed ovarian, fallopian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. Recently the investigators have found that the combination of decitabine and selinexor, two Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy agents, may prevent or reverse the development of drug resistance and further the remissions and duration of remissions with standard ovarian cancer chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel.
