A Study of QL1706 (an Anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 Combined Antibody) Combined With Albumin-bound Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab in the Treatment of Platinum-resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer

The efficacy of chemotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic agents in the treatment of platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer has been demonstrated in clinical studies, and QL1706 acts as a bi-functional combination antibody that blocks both PD-1 and CTLA-4, in other cancer trials that have been conducted, it is expected that better efficacy and adverse event rates comparable to those of anti-PD-1 mabs and anti-CTLA-4 mabs will be achieved with combination chemotherapy and anti-angiogenic drugs, it may be possible to obtain better anti-tumor effects in platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer patients.
