A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind Study of Pembrolizumab versus Placebo in Combination With Paclitaxel With or Without Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Platinum-resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (KEYNOTE-B96 / ENGOT-ov65)

General Information

Age Group

Adults

Status

Recruiting

Protocol Number

NCT05116189

Background Information

The purpose of this research is to:

  • Test the safety of pembro plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab compared to placebo plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab
  • See how well pembro plus paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab works to control ovarian cancer compared to placebo plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab
  • See if participants who get pembro plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab, have a better quality of life compared to those who get placebo plus paclitaxel, with or without bevacizumab

Pembro has been approved for people with various cancers. It has not been approved for ovarian cancer and is considered investigational in this study.

Pembrolizumab with paclitaxel or docetaxel (as applicable) with or without bevacizumab as used in combination for this study is investigational.

Paclitaxel, docetaxel and bevacizumab are approved treatments for ovarian cancer.
