Eligibility

Recruits 100 No vulnerable population selected. Inclusion criterion: 'Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial'. Only adults (Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent) are eligible; assent is referenced in the inclusion wording but the age eligibility restricts participation to adults..

Pregnancy Exclusion

Female subject of childbearing potential should have a negative urine or serum pregnancy within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
Vulnerable Population
No vulnerable population selected. Inclusion criterion: 'Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial'.

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"-Platinum resistant (platinum free interval 1-6 months from last platinum dose) ovarian, Fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer\n-CPS score>1\n-Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial\n-Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent\n-Have measurable disease or evaluable based on RECIST 1.1 (patients with only CA 125 increase without evidence of disease are not included)\n-Be willing to provide tissue from a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion.

Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma of the skin or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin that has undergone potentially curative therapy or in situ cervical cancer\n-Has known active central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging for at least four weeks prior to the first dose of trial treatment and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases, and are not using steroids for at least 7 days prior to trial treatment. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability"}
