Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-05.
Sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This phase II trial studies how well durvalumab and tremelimumab work in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether give durvalumab and tremelimumab in combination or sequential administration works better in treating participants with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the median immune-related progression-free survival (irPFS) in the experimental arms.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the rate of grade III or higher treatment related toxicity in each experimental arm.
II. To describe the immunological and gene expression changes induced by tremelimumab and the combination of tremelimumab and durvalumab in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) tumor tissues and blood.
III. To determine the overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR) IV. To determine the proportion of patients that discontinue treatment due to side effects.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine second progression-free survival (PFS) (PFS2) following initial progression in each arm.
II. To determine the response rate to durvalumab (MEDI4736) following treatment with tremelimumab (in the sequential arm).
III. To evaluate the patient reported symptom burden in each experimental arm. To better assess the relationship between somatic tumor mutations in the PPP2R1A gene and response and survival following combination therapy with tremelimumab and durvalumab in two molecularly defined expansion cohorts: (a) subjects with ovarian clear cell carcinoma and (b) subjects with uterine serous carcinoma. (This objective will represent an expansion cohort in Arm 2 and will be independent of enrollment to the main study)
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I (SEQUENTIAL): Patients receive tremelimumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Upon progression, patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. This arm is closed to enrollment.
ARM II (COMBINATION): Patients receive tremelimumab IV and durvalumab IV over 60 minutes (for each drug) on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive durvalumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 9 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 2 months thereafter

Immune-related Progression-free Survival (irPFS)
Assess irPFS, which was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest date of progression or death; subjects alive and progression free were censored at their last clinic visit where they were assessed for progression.
Time frame: 63 months
Grade III or Higher Treatment Related Toxicity in Each Experimental Arm
Adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were recorded from the time of first protocol-specific intervention throughout the treatment period and including the follow-up period (30 days after the last dose of the study drug).
Time frame: 63 months
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was estimated via the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test.
