Study summary

This is a 1:1 randomized, open label, multi-center phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety, dosing, efficacy, and biological activity of adding IMNN-001 to chemotherapy + BEV compared to chemotherapy + BEV alone.

Read the detailed description

This is a 1:1 randomized, open label, multi-center phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety, dosing, efficacy, and biological activity of adding IMNN-001 to chemotherapy + BEV compared to chemotherapy + BEV alone. The chemotherapy (NACT \& adjuvant) will be a standard regimen of carboplatin + paclitaxel administered every three weeks for a total of 7-9 cycles. The protocol requires at least 4 cycles of NACT and allows up to 2 additional cycles of neoadjuvant therapy at the Investigator's discretion based on response and other clinical considerations. ICS will take place 3-4 weeks from last dose of NACT. Following at least a 4-week recovery from ICS, 3 additional adjuvant cycles of study treatments will be administered. The minimum time interval between surgery and BEV administration will be 4 weeks for safety. BEV will be included at Cycles 2, 3, 6, and 7. BEV may be substituted by an FDA approved biosimilar. The experimental arm will add IMNN-001 weekly to each cycle of chemotherapy + BEV beginning with Cycle 1 Day 15 and continue weekly through the last cycle of adjuvant therapy.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(16)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

  • Experimental
    Chemotherapy + BEV + IMNN-001 (Experimental)

    Chemotherapy (neoadjuvant and adjuvant): Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV followed by carboplatin AUC 5-6 IV starting on C1D1. During the neoadjuvant period, there will be from 4 to 6 cycles repeated every 21 days. BEV 15 mg/kg IV administration will be included with each cycle except during the cycles around time of surgery. During maintenance, BEV will be administered every 3 weeks as a single agent until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for a maximum of an additional 18 cycles. In total, BEV may be administered up to 24 cycles. FDA approved BEV biosimilars may be used in this study in place of BEV. IMNN-001 80 mg/m2 IP will be administered weekly beginning C1D15 and continue weekly through the last cycle of adjuvant therapy. At the conclusion of chemotherapy, GEN-1 will be administered every 21 days with BEV in subjects who are BRCA-/HRP until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for up to an additional 18 cycles.

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

Started Feb 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2027, 52 months after the start.

Of 116 industry-sponsored phase 1/2 interventional studies under Ovarian Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 61 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 88. This study's planned 52 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 173 studies reached it within 65 months; a quarter within 44 and three quarters within 88.

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.
