Study of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan With Bevacizumab Versus Bevacizumab Monotherapy for First-line Maintenance in HER2-Expressing Ovarian Cancer (DESTINY-Ovarian01)
What this study is about
This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of T-DXd in combination with bevacizumab versus bevacizumab treatment given alone as first-line maintenance therapy, in participants with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-expressing (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] 3+/2+/1+) advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer.
View original scientific description
This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of T-DXd in combination with bevacizumab versus bevacizumab monotherapy as first-line maintenance therapy, in participants with human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-expressing (immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] 3+/2+/1+) advanced high-grade epithelial ovarian cancer.
Interventions
DRUG
Trastuzumab Deruxtecan
T-DXd will be administered at a dose of 5.4 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks (Q3W)
DRUG
Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 15/mg/kg IV Q3W
Primary outcome measures
Progression Free Survival by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in the HER2 IHC 3+/2+ population
Time frame: From date of randomization to radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, up to approximately 35 months
Time from randomization to time of objective radiographic disease progression as assessed by BICR based on RECIST v1.1 or death due to any cause.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Sign and date the tissue prescreening ICF, prior to HER2 central testing. Sign and date the Main ICF, prior to the start of any trial- specific qualification procedures. Consent to optional PGx prior to any PGx procedures. \*For participants in the safety run-in phase, a safety run-in ICF needs to be signed and dated prior to the start of any trial-specific qualification procedures.
- Adults ≥18 years of age on the day of signing the ICF. Follow local regulatory requirements if the legal age of consent for trial participation is \>18 years old.
- Has histologically confirmed diagnosis of epithelial high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma per local assessment (including but not limiting to serous, endometrioid, clear cell, carcinosarcoma, mucinous).
- Is newly diagnosed FIGO Stage III or IV.
- Has HER2 expression per 2016 ASCO-CAP gastric cancer IHC scoring (3+/2+/1+) guidelines1 by prospective central testing. \*For participants in the safety run-in phase, HER2 expression assessed by either local (require using ASCO-CAP gastric cancer IHC scoring \[IHC 3+/2+/1+\] guidelines) or central assessment (if available) is acceptable. Submission of the pathology report is required for participants enrolled based on local HER2 IHC results.
- Has adequate tumor tissue sample available for assessment of HER2 by central laboratory. Tumor tissue block or sufficient tissue slides are required for HER2 testing and retrospective HRD status determination. \*Participants in the safety run-in phase who are enrolled based on local HER2 IHC results are recommended to provide tumor tissue sample from the same specimen for central assessment.
- Has a local HRD or BRCA test result available. Participants with BRCA-wildtype will have a local HRD test results, as applicable.
- Has received up to 6 cycles of standard of care bevacizumab in combination with frontline platinum- based chemotherapy as per approved indication and clinical guidelines and is eligible to continue single agent bevacizumab maintenance per standard of care and investigator discretion. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Has ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer of non-epithelial origin.
- Has a known or suspected deleterious BRCA alteration as per local test that makes the patient eligible for PARP inhibitor.
- Participant to receive PARP inhibitor as maintenance per standard of care and investigator discretion. Reasons for which the participant is not eligible for PARP inhibitor will be recorded in the eCRF as follows:
- HRD negative
- HRD positive with SD as best response after platinum
- HRD positive non-serous histology Note: For participants enrolled from the Republic of Korea
- HRD tested, but inconclusive
- HRD positive but safety concern (safety concern to be specified).
- Has a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to either the drug substances or inactive ingredients in the drug products and other monoclonal antibodies.
- Previous Cerebral-Vascular Accident, Transient Ischemic Attack or Sub- Arachnoids Hemorrhage within 6 months prior to randomization. \*Note: For participants enrolled from the Republic of Korea,
- Has evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of anticoagulation therapy).
- Has a history of hemorrhagic disorders, abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or active gastrointestinal bleeding within 6 months before randomization.
- Evidence of active or ongoing bowel obstruction.
- Has a medical history of myocardial infarction within 6 months before randomization, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class II to IV). Participants with troponin levels above the upper limit of normal at Screening (as defined by the manufacturer), and without any myocardial infarction related symptoms should have a cardiologic consultation during the Screening Period to rule out myocardial infarction.
- Has a corrected QT interval prolongation to \>480 msec based on average of the Screening triplicate 12-lead ECG.
- Has a history of (non-infectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required steroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at Screening.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
