Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for women aged 18 or older with high-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy and whose tumor shows cyclin E1 protein.
- Age
- 18 years or older (or the age of majority in the local region)
- Sex
- Women only
- Disease stage
- High-grade serous ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that is platinum-resistant, with at least one measurable tumor lesion (RECIST 1.1). ECOG performance status of 1 or lower.
- Earlier treatment
- 1-3 earlier lines of therapy (up to 4 if mirvetuximab was given). Earlier mirvetuximab is required if it is approved and available. No earlier azenosertib or other WEE1, ATR, CHK1/2 or PKMYT1 inhibitor.
- Biomarker or test result
- Tumor tissue must be positive for cyclin E1 protein, tested with the Sponsor's validated assay. A recent tumor tissue sample must be provided.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Platinum-refractory disease in front-line therapy
- Endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous or sarcomatous cancer, mixed tumors with these types, or low-grade or borderline ovarian tumor
- Stem cell transplant within 3 months
- Chemotherapy or targeted therapy within 21 days, or another investigational drug within 28 days
- Unresolved toxicity above Grade 1 from earlier treatment (except neuropathy up to Grade 2, hair loss, skin pigmentation)
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 19 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Pre-screening Inclusion criteria: Provision of evaluable, most recent FFPE tumor tissue block (preferably collected within the previous 3 years; if multiple tissue blocks are available, the most recently collected tissue sample is to be submitted) or 15 serially sectioned slides freshly cut from an FFPE block
- Prior mirvetuximab is required if approved and available for eligible subjects
- Adequate hematologic and organ function during the Screening Period For the complete Inclusion Criteria, please refer to the study protocol
- Provision of signed Main ICF
- Female Age ≥18 years (or age of majority in local region) at the time of informed consent
- Performance status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of ≤ 1
- Histologically or cytologically diagnosed high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer
- Subjects must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST Guideline Version 1.1
- The subject’s tumor tissue must be positive for cyclin E1 protein expression per the Sponsor’s clinically validated, in vitro diagnostic assay
- Subject must have platinum-resistant disease
- Subjects must have received 1-3 prior lines of therapy (up to 4 if prior mirvetuximab )
Who cannot take part
- Any of the following treatment interventions within the specified time frame before randomization: a. Hospitalization for any reason within 14 days b. Major surgery within 28 days before randomization and any preplanned major surgery scheduled during the study treatment period c. Any chemotherapy or targeted tumor therapy within 21 days or 5 half-lives d. Radiation therapy within 21 days; however, if the radiation portal covered ≤ 5% of the bone marrow, the subject is eligible irrespective of the end date of radiotherapy e. Autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant within 3 months f. Current use of any other investigational drug therapy < 28 days or 5 half-lives
- Inability to discontinue treatment with prescription or nonprescription drugs that are specified in the protocol
- Inability to discontinue any of the following: a. consumption of food and herbal supplements specified in the protocol at least 14 days before C1D1 b. ongoing requirement for (or anticipated future need of) a prohibited therapy, food, or supplement
- Prior therapy with azenosertib or any other WEE1 inhibitor, ATR inhibitor, CHK1/2 inhibitor, or PKMYT1 inhibitor
- Unresolved toxicity of Grade > 1 attributed to any prior therapies (excluding Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy, alopecia, or skin pigmentation). For the complete Exclusion Criteria, please refer to the study protocol
- Platinum refractory disease (in front line therapy)
- A serious illness or medical conditions, listed in study protocol
- Subjects with endometrioid, clear cell, mucinous, or sarcomatous histology, mixed tumors containing any of the above histologies, or low-grade or borderline ovarian tumor
