A Study of Raludotatug Deruxtecan (R-DXd) With or Without Bevacizumab as Maintenance Therapy in Second-Line Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (REJOICE-Ovarian03)

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of R-DXd with or without bevacizumab as maintenance therapy compared with standard of care (SOC) in participants with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC) as measured by progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR).

  • A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), as specified in the protocol, is eligible to participate if the protocol-specified conditions are met.
  • Must have received 2 prior lines of platinum-based therapy:
  • For the first-line (1L) platinum-based chemotherapy (penultimate, platinum-based course prior to enrollment on the trial), must have platinum-sensitive disease after this treatment, defined as documented radiologic disease progression assessed by the investigator (evident measurable or non-measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1) >6 months following the last dose of the platinum administered.
