Full Title
A Phase I/Ib Dose Escalation Study of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) With Peposertib (M3814) in Platinum-Resistant or Ineligible Ovarian and Related Cancers with Planned Expansions in High Grade Serous (HGSOC) and Low Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (LGSOC)(NCI 10324) (CIRB)Purpose
The purpose of this study is to find the best dose of peposertib (M3814) that can be given in combination with standard chemotherapy (a drug called pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) in women with ovarian cancer that has continued to grow or came back despite prior chemotherapy that included a platinum-containing drug. Once the best dose is found, the treatment will be assessed in women with low-grade and high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells - either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving peposertib and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin may work better in patients with ovarian cancer than pegylated liposomal doxorubicin alone. Peposertib is taken orally (by mouth) and the chemotherapy is given intravenously (by vein).
