KEYNOTE-B96: This 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 cancerA Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Pembrolizumab Versus Placebo in Combination With Paclitaxel With or Without Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Platinum-resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (KEYNOTE-B96/ENGOT-ov65)
