Phase:

Phase 2

Details

This trial looked at a drug called etirinotecan pegol (also known as NKTR-102) for women with ovarian cancer. The trial was for women with:

  • ovarian cancer

  • fallopian tube cancer

  • primary peritoneal cancer

Their cancer had come back despite having other treatment and could not be removed with surgery.

These cancers are all treated in the same way, so when we use the term ovarian cancer in this summary, we are referring to all 3.

Recruitment start: 15 July 2009

Recruitment end: 2 March 2012
