• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2018-10-12
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

This is a Phase 2 randomized study with two treatment arms to compare the effectiveness of oregovomab (a murine monoclonal antibody directed against cancer antigen 125 (CA125)) when combined with first-line chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) to first-line chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel alone) in female patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Quest PharmaTech Inc.
• Treatments: Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel; Antibodies, Monoclonal; Carboplatin; Oregovomab; Paclitaxel
