pembrolizumab and bevacizumab with chemotherapy followed by pembrolizumab, bevacizumab and olaparib in recurrent ovarian cancer

Conditions: Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial

Summary: this trial is a multicenter, single-arm, phase ii study evaluating the efficacy of pembrolizumab and bevacizumab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (pbc) followed by pembrolizumab, bevacizumab and olaparib as a maintenance therapy in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.this study is planned to enroll eligible 35 patients from multiple study sites in japan.

that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years. 10. participant has known active cns metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. 11. participant has severe hypersensitivity (≥grade 3) to the study treatment and/or any of its excipients. 12. participant has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). 13. participant has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required treatment with steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease. 14. participant has an active infection requiring systemic therapy. 15. participant has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection. 16. participant has a known history of hepatitis b (defined as hepatitis b surface antigen \[hbsag\] reactive) or known active hepatitis c virus (defined as hcv rna \[qualitative\] is detected) infection. 17. participant has received colony-stimulating factors (granulocyte colony stimulating factor \[g-csf\], granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor \[gm-csf\] or recombinant erythropoietin) within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. 18. participant has clinically serious cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases (eg, cerebrovascular accident/stroke \[less than 6 month prior to enrollment\], myocardial infarction \[less than 6 month prior to enrollment\], uncontrolled and potentially reversible cardiac conditions \[unstable ischemia, uncontrolled symptomatic arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, qtcf prolongation \>500 msec, electrolyte disturbances, hypertension defined as systolic \>150 mmhg or diastolic \>90 mmhg etc.\] or participant has congenital long qt syndrome). 19. participant has known abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation and/or higher risks of bleeding. 20. participant has either myelodysplastic syndrome (mds)/acute myeloid leukemia (aml) or has features suggestive of mds/aml. 21. participant is currently receiving either strong (eg, itraconazole, telithromycin, clarithromycin, protease inhibitors boosted with ritonavir or cobicistat, indinavir, saquinavir, nelfinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir) or moderate (eg, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, diltiazem,
