Study summary

Advanced ovarian cancer is a high medical need indication. Cure is not available to these patients and treatment has palliative intent. A proportion of advanced stage ovarian cancer expresses substantial levels of Claudin 6 (CLDN6), a carcino-embryonic transmembrane protein, which is absent from normal adult human tissue. IMAB027 is a monoclonal antibody that binds to CLDN6. Preclinically IMAB027 was shown to inhibit tumor growth and to kill cancer cells by antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity. This trial is a first-in-human dose escalation and dose finding Phase 1 trial of IMAB027 in patients with recurrent advanced ovarian cancer to assess the safety and tolerability, the pharmacokinetics, the antitumoral activity and the immunogenicity of IMAB027.

  9. Patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative β-HCG urine test within 72 hours before receiving treatment

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is pregnant or breast-feeding
  2. Prior allergic reaction or intolerance to a monoclonal antibody (humanized or chimeric)
  3. Any prior anti-tumor therapy within 14 days prior to the start of IMAB027 treatment

Patients with recent DVT who have been or are treated with therapeutic anti-coagulant agents (excluding warfarin) for at least 6 weeks are eligible
  7. Other investigational agents or devices concurrently or within 14 days before start of IMAB027 treatment
  8. Any hemoptysis or bleeding event that is clinically relevant within 2 weeks of first dose of study drug
  9. Clinical symptoms of brain metastases or tumor-associated spinal cord compression
  10. Need for continuous, systemic immunosuppressive therapy
  11. Any other medical condition that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, limit the patient's ability to complete the study

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2014 to primary completion in Oct 2015, 20 months.

Of 155 industry-sponsored phase 1 interventional studies under Ovarian Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 47 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 67. This study's 20 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 288 studies reached it within 54 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 79.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
