Efficacy Study of Recombinant Interleukin-21 in the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer

February 28, 2017 updated by: Novo Nordisk A/S

An Open-Label Phase 2 Trial of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin and rIL-21 in Ovarian Cancer Patients With Persistent or Progressive Disease After, or Relapse Within One Year of, Completion of Standard First Line Therapy

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the efficacy of rIL-21 and Caelyx in cancer patients who have relapsed after, or have persistent disease after, first line therapy. Patients will be treated for 6 months.
