Overview

This study is being done to answer the following question: What are the effects of a new drug or drugs on ovarian cancer? The pre-study screening may be done to test a sample of tissue for biomarkers to determine participation in the study.

Description

This study is being conducted to determine if this approach is better or worse than the standard of care for ovarian cancer. The standard of care is defined as care most people get for ovarian cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • This study will enroll women with platinum resistant high grade serous ovarian cancer.
  • This study is open to minorities as appropriate but is not designed to measure differences in intervention effects.
  • All patients must be registered for screening prior to study enrollment, however, if biomarker testing results are not required prior to enrollment to a substudy, then enrollment can proceed immediately. CCTG will advise sites when biomarker testing results are required prior to substudy enrollment.
        Additional Criteria To Be Met Prior To Sub-study Enrollment All patients must fulfill all
        of the following criteria to be eligible for enrollment to the study. Additional
