Study to Evaluate INCB123667 Versus Investigator's Choice of Chemotherapy in Participants With Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer With Cyclin E1 Overexpression

This study is looking into a new treatment called INCB123667 for women with ovarian cancer. This cancer is described as 'platinum-resistant,' meaning it has continued to grow even after standard platinum-based chemotherapy. The study focuses specifically on cancers that show a high level of something called 'cyclin E1.' Researchers want to see if INCB123667 is more effective than other chemotherapy choices that doctors usually offer in this situation. It's a phase 3 trial, which means it's a large study comparing the new treatment against existing ones to understand its benefits and any side effects, aiming to improve future care for women with this type of ovarian cancer.

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is designed for women with a type of cancer called ovarian cancer, which starts in the ovaries. Specifically, it's for those whose cancer has not responded well to treatments containing platinum, a common type of chemotherapy. Doctors call this 'platinum-resistant' ovarian cancer. The study is particularly interested in cancers that show high levels of something called 'cyclin E1,' which is a marker found in some cancer cells.

The main goal is to compare a new medicine, INCB123667, with other standard chemotherapy treatments that doctors might typically choose. The researchers want to find out if INCB123667 works better at controlling the cancer or has fewer side effects than the usual chemotherapy options. This is a "Phase 3" study, which means it's a large and important step in testing new treatments before they can be made widely available.

Finding new ways to treat platinum-resistant ovarian cancer is very important because current options can become less effective over time. By comparing INCB123667 to existing treatments, doctors hope to discover if this new medicine could offer a better way forward for women facing this challenging condition, potentially improving their health and quality of life.

Key takeaways

  • This study is for women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
  • It's comparing a new drug (INCB123667) to standard chemotherapy.
  • The focus is on cancers with high levels of 'cyclin E1'.
  • It's a Phase 3 study, aiming to find better treatment options.
  • Participation involves regular checks and close monitoring by doctors.
  • You will be randomly chosen to receive either the new drug or standard treatment.

Who may be eligible?

This study is for women who have been diagnosed with a specific type of high-grade ovarian cancer, or cancer affecting the fallopian tubes or the lining of the abdomen. Your cancer must have continued to grow or come back after previously being treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. If you've had only one round of platinum treatment, you must have completed at least four cycles. If you've had two to four rounds, your cancer must have progressed within six months of your last platinum dose.

You would need to have had at least one, but no more than four, previous rounds of cancer-fighting treatment since your initial diagnosis. Also, you should have received a treatment called bevacizumab, unless there was a medical reason not to, and another called mirvetuximab soravtansine if your tumor had a specific marker called FRɑ, again, unless there was a medical reason not to.

However, you would not be able to join if you have certain other types of ovarian cancer (like endometrioid or clear cell types), or if your cancer is rapidly progressive after your first platinum treatment (within 3 months). You also couldn't join if you have serious heart problems, active cancer that has spread to your brain, another cancer that is currently active or needed treatment in the last three years, or significant stomach or gut issues.

Could this study suit you?

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

  1. I have been diagnosed with high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or abdominal lining cancer.
  2. My cancer has shown growth or come back after previous platinum chemotherapy.
  3. I have had at least one, but not more than four, previous lines of cancer treatment.
  4. I'm generally in good health apart from the cancer, without serious heart or active brain problems.
  5. I am aged 18 or older.
Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

If you decide to take part in this study, you would be randomly assigned to receive either the new medicine, INCB123667, or a chemotherapy chosen by your doctor based on what is generally used. Both treatments would be given according to a specific plan set out by the study.

Throughout the study, you would attend regular visits at the hospital or clinic. These visits will involve various assessments, such as physical exams, blood tests, and scans (like CT or MRI) to see how your body is responding to the treatment and to check the size of your cancer. Your doctor and the study team will monitor you closely for any side effects or changes in your health.

Before you start treatment, a sample of your tumour tissue (either an existing one from over the past 5 years or a new biopsy) would be needed. The duration of your participation would depend on how you respond to the treatment and whether you experience any side effects. After your treatment phase ends, there will typically be a follow-up period where your health continues to be monitored for a certain amount of time.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in this study could offer some potential benefits, as you would receive regular, close medical care and access to a new experimental treatment that might be more effective than standard options. However, like all medical treatments, there are potential risks, and the study drug or chemotherapy may cause side effects. These will be fully explained by the study team, and you will be carefully monitored for them. It's important to remember that you have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting your usual medical care.

Common questions

What does 'platinum-resistant' mean?

It means your ovarian cancer has not responded or has continued to grow even after being treated with chemotherapy medicines that contain platinum.

What is 'cyclin E1 overexpression'?

This refers to a situation where cancer cells have unusually high levels of a specific protein called cyclin E1. The study is trying to understand if a new medicine works best for cancers with this feature.

Is INCB123667 a chemotherapy drug?

INCB123667 is a new experimental drug, and while it targets cancer cells, it might work differently from traditional chemotherapy. The study will compare it to your doctor's choice of standard chemotherapy.

What 'phase' is this study?

This is a 'Phase 3' study. This means it's a large and important trial that compares a new treatment against existing ones to see if it's better and safe enough to be used more widely.

Will I definitely get the new drug?

Not necessarily. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the new drug (INCB123667) or the standard chemotherapy that your doctor would normally choose. This ensures a fair comparison.
