A Phase 1 interventional study of CryptiVax-1001 in Ovarian Cancer, HGSOC and HGS Ovarian, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneal Cancer, sponsored by Epitopea Ltd. Recruiting at 10 sites in United Kingdom. Open to female participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-08-17.

Ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, collectively referred to as ovarian cancer, remains the deadliest type of gynaecological cancer. The most common and aggressive form is called high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
The main purpose of this study is to understand whether an experimental study vaccine, CryptiVax-1001, is safe when administered to patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). The study vaccine is a cancer vaccine, which aims to delay or possibly prevent the cancer from coming back. However, as this is the first study of the vaccine in patients, the primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety of the study vaccine.
Following surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy participants may enter the trial and receive CryptiVax-1001 as an explorative maintenance therapy.
The main purposes of this study are therefore to:
The study will test escalating dose levels of CryptiVax-1001 based on the safety evaluations to estimate appropriate future dose levels for CryptiVax-1001.
The OVACT study is the First in Human clinical evaluation of Cryptivax-1001 in patients with advanced high-grade serous or predominantly serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, following optimal debulking surgery (R0 or R1 after either IDS or PDS), and no recurrence or progression after completion of platinum-based chemotherapy. This phase I/Ib dose escalation and expansion study will assess safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in a population where there is a high unmet need and no clearly effective maintenance therapy options. By focusing on the BRCAwt/HRP subgroup, the study addresses the majority of patients who currently lack access to biologically-matched maintenance strategies.
The study consist of 2 parts - a dose escalation part and an optional dose expansion part
