Clinical Pre-screening Protocol for Ovarian Cancer

October 28, 2025 updated by: Allarity Therapeutics

Development of Drug Response Predictor (DRP) to Test Sensitivity to Investigational Anti-Cancer Drugs in Patients With Advanced Ovarian Cancer

The patient's local archival tumor tissue (FFPE) from original tumor, or from the metastatic tissue, will be collected to potentially identify if they - at a later stage of their disease - will be likely to benefit from treatment with any of the investigational cancer drugs available to Allarity Therapeutics. Data from this study can further be used to explore in a retrospective fashion, sensitivity to other chemotherapeutic drugs previously used in the treatment of their ovarian cancer, to investigate whether or not the DRP® method can predict and confirm the obtained sensitivity to the prior given drugs as well as prospective analyses guiding the Investigators on future treatments.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients will be identified at their already planned treatment and or at control visits at the oncology department

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with histological confirmed epithelia ovarian cancer
  • Patients must have platinum-resistant disease, defined as progression within 6 months after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy, or are platinum ineligible.
  • Patients have received no more than one prior line of therapy in the platinum resistant or platinum ineligible setting
  • FFPE tumor tissue available

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have platinum-refractory disease, defined as progression during the last platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • Other malignancy with exception of any stage I and II cancer that is deemed cured by the Investigator
