A Phase 3 Study of Manganese-primed Immunochemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Manganese-primed Immunochemotherapy in Subjects With Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, and most patients eventually relapse and develop resistance to available therapies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown limited overall efficacy in recurrent ovarian cancer, partly because of its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Manganese (Mn2+) can activate the cGAS-STING pathway and may enhance antitumor immunity and the therapeutic effects of PD-1 blockade combined with chemotherapy. Following encouraging findings from an early-phase study, a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled phase II trial showed that the addition of manganese chloride to anti-PD-1 antibody, nab-paclitaxel, and cisplatin improved clinical outcomes compared with placebo, with an overall manageable safety profile. Based on these findings, this phase III trial is designed to confirm the efficacy and further evaluate the safety of Mn2+-primed immunochemotherapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients receiving known strong inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole) or inducers (e.g., rifampicin or St. John's Wort) of CYP3A4, or strong inhibitors (e.g., gemfibrozil) or inducers of CYP2C8; patients receiving treatment with potent P-gp inhibitors or inducers, or patients who cannot stop treatment with these agents for 2 weeks before the start of the study.
  • Subjects' bowel obstruction or requirement for bowel obstruction-related interventions within 3 weeks prior to first study drug administration; subjects with incomplete bowel obstruction who have returned to normal within 1 month before the first dose of the experimental drug can be included in the study after discussion by the researchers.
  • Patients with severe or uncontrolled ascites, defined as either of the following: a) symptomatic ascites corresponding to CTCAE ≥ Grade 2; b) history of therapeutic paracentesis for ascites within 3 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks before enrollment, or planned major surgery during the study (excluding diagnostic surgery).
  • History of Parkinson's disease or epilepsy, or occurrence of diseases that can induce seizures within 12 months before the study (including a history of transient ischemic attack, stroke, traumatic brain injury with consciousness disorders).
  • Patients who have received any investigational drug treatment within 30 days before the first dose of the trial drug.

Other illness

  • Organ failure:

  • HIV antibody positive, or other acquired, congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or patients with a history of organ transplantation.
  • CTCAE grade 2 infections that do not respond to treatment or active clinically serious infections with CTCAE \> Grade 2.
  • Patients with active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection requiring treatment.
  • Patients with a history of allergic reactions to study drug components or suspected allergies.
  • Chronic diseases requiring immunotherapy or hormone therapy.
  • Subjects with a history of malignant tumors (non-study tumor) within 3 years before the first dose of the trial drug.
  • History of the following diseases: interstitial lung disease, non-infectious pneumonia, or uncontrolled systemic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, abdominal infection, etc.

Lab values

  • Serum total bilirubin levels higher than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range.
  • ALT, AST, or ALP levels higher than 3 times the upper limit of the reference range when there are no liver metastases; ALT, AST, or ALP levels higher than 5 times the upper limit of the reference range when there are liver metastases.

Other

  • T-cell tumors such as T-cell lymphoma or T-cell leukemia.
  • Subjects with symptoms of brain or leptomeningeal metastasis.

  • Patients who have received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy, including at least one platinum-based regimen.
  • Patients who experienced disease progression during or within 6 months after completion of the most recent line of systemic therapy.
    • Note: This most recent therapy is not required to be platinum-based and may be any systemic treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or other anticancer therapy).
  • Patients with at least one measurable lesion.
  • Patients who have received immunotherapy (anti-PD-1 antibodies, anti-PD-L1 antibodies), or bevacizumab, are not restricted from enrollment.
