Recruiting PHASE2 Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

New treatment option for Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

Official title A Study of Avutometinib, Defactinib, and Letrozole in People With Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06394804

What this study is testing

What is Avutometinib?

Avutometinib is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for low-grade serous ovarian cancer.

Also referred to as VS-6766.

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 researchers are doing this study to find out whether the combination of avutometinib, defactinib, and letrozole is an effective treatment for people with low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC). The researchers will also look at the safety of this combination.
