Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This phase III trial is evaluating whether immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) versus placebo, combined with chemotherapy (paclitaxel), with or without targeted therapy (bevacizumab), is more effective in people with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
 

This trial is treating patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This is a systemic therapy trial.

You may be able to join this trial if:

  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.
  • You have had treatment, but your cancer has come back.

Summary

Eligible participants will be randomised into either the Experimental Arm or Placebo Comparator Arm. In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive pembrolizumab plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab. Pembrolizumab (400mg) will be administered via intravenous infusion (IV) for 18 6-week cycles. Paclitaxel (80mg/m^2) will be administered via IV on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 3-week cycle until intolerance or disease progression. Participants who experience severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel or an AE requiring discontinuation of paclitaxel may receive docetaxel (75 mg/m^2 every 3 weeks [Q3W]) after Sponsor consultation. Participants may also receive bevacizumab (10mg/kg) via IV of each 2-week cycle until intolerance, disease progression, or at the Investigator's discretion. In the Placebo Comparator Arm, placebo plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab. A placebo will be administered via IV for 18 6-week cycles. Paclitaxel (80mg/m^2) will be administered via IV on Days 1, 8 and 15 of each 3-week cycle until intolerance or disease progression. Participants who experience severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel or an AE requiring discontinuation of paclitaxel may receive docetaxel (75 mg/m^2 Q3W) after Sponsor consultation. Participants may also receive bevacizumab (10mg/kg) via IV of each 2-week cycle until intolerance, disease progression, or at the Investigator's discretion.
