Trial design

Randomised, open-label, arm b (control arm): bevacizumab monotherapy 15 mg/kg iv q3w up to 16 cycles (a maximum of 22 bevacizumab cycles allowed including doses given in combination with front-line chemotherapy). arm a (experimental arm): t-dxd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) 5.4 mg/kg iv q3w up to a maximum of 34 cycles in combination with bevacizumab 15 mg/kg iv q3w (up to 16 cycles in maintenance setting; maximum 22 bevacizumab cycles including front-line doses)., adaptive Phase III trial.

Comparator
Arm B (control arm): Bevacizumab monotherapy 15 mg/kg IV Q3W up to 16 cycles (a maximum of 22 bevacizumab cycles allowed including doses given in combination with front-line chemotherapy). Arm A (experimental arm): T-DXd (trastuzumab deruxtecan) 5.4 mg/kg IV Q3W up to a maximum of 34 cycles in combination with bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV Q3W (up to 16 cycles in maintenance setting; maximum 22 bevacizumab cycles including front-line doses).
Adaptive
True, Safety run-in phase: approximately 20 participants will be enrolled and receive T-DXd + bevacizumab; enrollment paused after ~20 participants and Safety Review Committee (SRC) reviews dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and overall safety to decide initiation of randomized phase.
Biomarker Stratified
True, HER2 IHC (3+/2+/1+)

Eligibility

Recruits 562 Vulnerable population flag set. Participants must be adults ≥18 years at consent ("Adults ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the ICF. Follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for trial participation is >18 years old."). Consent handling: tissue pre-screening ICF, main ICF and separate safety run-in ICF (for safety run-in participants) must be signed and dated prior to relevant procedures; optional PGx requires separate consent prior to PGx procedures. (Vulnerable population considerations follow local regulatory age-of-consent rules.).

Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Sign and date the tissue pre-screening informed consent form (ICF), prior to HER2 central testing. Sign and date the main ICF, prior to the start of any trial- specific qualification procedures. Consent to optional PGx prior to any PGx procedures. For participants in the safety run-in phase, a safety run-in ICF needs to be signed and dated prior to the start of any trial-specific qualification procedures.\n- Adults ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the ICF. Follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for trial participation is >18 years old.\n- Has histologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelial high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma (including but not limiting to serous, endometrioid, clear cell, carcinosarcoma, mucinous).\n- Is newly diagnosed FIGO Stage III or IV.\n- Has HER2 expression per IHC scoring (3+/2+/1+) guidelines by prospective central testing. For participants in the safety run-in phase, HER2 expression assessed by either local (require using IHC scoring [IHC 3+/2+/1+] guidelines) or central assessment (if available) is acceptable. Submission of the pathology report is required for participants enrolled based on local HER2 IHC results.\n- Has adequate tumor tissue sample available for assessment of HER2 by central laboratory. Tumor tissue block or sufficient tissue slides are required for HER2 testing and retrospective HRD status determination. #Participants in the safety run-in phase who are enrolled based on local HER2 IHC results are recommended to provide tumor tissue sample from the same specimen for central assessment.\n- Has a local HRD or breast cancer gene (BRCA) test result available. Participants with BRCA wildtype will have a local HRD test results, as applicable.\n- Has received standard of care bevacizumab in combination with front line platinum based chemotherapy as per approved indication and clinical guidelines and is eligible to continue single agent bevacizumab maintenance per standard of care and investigator discretion. Note: Participants should receive up to 6 cycles of bevacizumab in combination with front line platinum-based chemotherapy."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Has ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer of non-epithelial origin.\n- Has a history of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening.\n- Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (ie pulmonary emboli within three months of the trial enrollment, severe asthma, severe COPD, restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion etc.), and any autoimmune, connective tissue or inflammatory disorders with potential pulmonary involvement (ie Rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's, sarcoidosis etc.), or prior pneumonectomy.\n- Has a BRCA mutation as per local test.\n- Participant to receive PARP inhibitor as maintenance per standard of care and investigator discretion. Reasons for which the participant is not eligible for PARP inhibitor will be recorded in the eCRF as follows: • HRD negative • HRD positive with SD as best response after platinum • HRD positive non-serous histology • HRD tested, but inconclusive • HRD positive but safety concern (safety concern to be specified).\n- Has a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug products and other monoclonal antibodies.\n- Previous Cerebral-Vascular Accident, Transient Ischemic Attack or Sub- Arachnoids Hemorrhage within 6 months prior to randomization.\n- Has evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of anticoagulation therapy).\n- Has a history of hemorrhagic disorders, abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or active gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months before randomization.\n- Evidence of active or ongoing bowel obstruction.\n- Has lung-specific intercurrent clinically significant illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (eg, pulmonary emboli within 3 months of the trial randomization, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion, pneumonectomy, etc.)."}
