A Phase 2 interventional study of Bevacizumab and Nivolumab in Peritoneal Cancer, Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Active, not recruiting at 3 sites in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-01.
Sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This research study is evaluating three drugs called Nivolumab, Bevacizumab, and Rucaparib as a possible treatment for relapsed Relapsed Ovarian, Fallopian Tube Or Peritoneal Cancer.
This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Cancers are recognized by the immune system, and under some circumstances,the immune system may control or even eliminate tumors. An antibody is a natural protein made by our immune system that binds other proteins and molecules to fight infection and its ill effects.
Nivolumab is an experimental antibody drug that may make the immune response more active against Cancer. Bevacizumab is an antibody that works by stopping the formation of blood vessels.Rucaparib is an oral pill that can block the ways cells repair their DNA, which can cause damage to certain cancer cells.
The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Nivolumab for Relapsed Ovarian, Fallopian Tube Or Peritoneal Cancer but it has been approved for other uses.
Bevacizumab has been FDA approved when used together with chemotherapy for the treatment of Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, Or Primary Peritoneal Cancer that has returned within 6 months of a chemotherapy that contains a platinum drug.
Rucaparib has been FDA approved for the treatment of patients with BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer who have been treated with 2 or more prior chemotherapies or as maintenance therapy following for women with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.
The combination of Nivolumab, Bevacizumab, and Rucaparib has not been approved by the FDA in any setting.
2,695 studies on the registry are indexed under Ovarian Neoplasms; 727 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 72 is above the median of 60 across 2,030 interventional studies indexed under Ovarian Neoplasms.

For Cohort 3: Participants must have platinum-sensitive disease and have experienced relapse within 6 to 12 months (i.e., 180 to 365 days) after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy.
Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria and should be obtained within 14 days prior to registration:
Specific criteria for Cohort 2 and 3
-Patients must have undergone germline BRCA testing and must not have a deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation. Where tumor testing has been performed, patients with a deleterious or suspected deleterious somatic BRCA mutation are also not eligible.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with any of the following cardiovascular diseases are excluded:
LVEF less than normal per institutional guidelines, or \< 55%, if threshold for normal not otherwise specified by institutional guidelines
QTc prolongation > 470 msec or other significant ECG abnormality noted during screening

Cohort 1: Objective Response Rate
The objective response rate was determined by the frequency of patients who had objective tumor response, determined per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI, where objective response represents either a confirmed complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions) or a confirmed partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters); objective response = CR + PR. The ORR is therefore reported as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR or PR per RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: 18 months
Cohort 2: Objective Response Rate
The objective response rate was determined by the frequency of patients who had objective tumor response, determined per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI, where objective response represents either a confirmed complete response (CR; disappearance of all target lesions) or a confirmed partial response (PR; at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters); objective response = CR + PR. The ORR is therefore reported as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR or PR per RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: 2 years
Cohort 3: Tolerability
Tolerability of the combination of nivolumab, bevacizumab, and rucaparib for cohort 3 was determined by the number of patients who maintained dosing without drug modifications (including dose holds and reductions) within the first 100 days of dosing.
Time frame: 100 days
Progression Free Survival
The percentage of patients progression-free at 6 months
Time frame: 6 months
Best Overall Response Rate
Using RESIST 1.1 criteria or modified GCIG CA-125 criteria
Time frame: 2 years
Duration Of Response
It will be described using the method of Kaplan-Meier
Time frame: 2 years
The Association Of Baseline PD-L1 Expression With Anti-Tumor Activity
It will be evaluated using a Wilcoxon rank sum test of marker levels in responders versus non-responders using a one-sided alpha = 0.05.
Time frame: 2 years
