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
- Patients may be eligible for inclusion in the study if they meet the following criteria:
- Histologically proven LGSOC (ovarian, fallopian, peritoneal)
- Documented mutational status of KRAS by a validated tumor-tissue based diagnostic test.
- Suitable for treatment with at least one of the Investigator's Choice of Treatments:pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, letrozole, anastrozole.
- Progression or recurrence of LGSOC after at least one prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease.
- Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1.
- An Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1.
- Adequate organ function.
- Adequate recovery from toxicities related to prior treatments.
- For patients with reproductive potential, a negative pregnancy test must be confirmed and agreement to use highly effective method of contraceptive.
- Willingness to comply with the scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
- Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 4 weeks of the first dose of study therapy.
- Co-existing high-grade serous ovarian cancer or mixed histology.
- Prior treatment with avutometinib, defactinib, or other FAK inhibitors.
- History of prior malignancy with recurrence \<3 years from the time of enrollment.
- Major surgery within 4 weeks, minor surgery within 1 week, or palliative radiotherapy within 1 week of the first dose of study intervention.
- Symptomatic brain metastases requiring steroids or other interventions, known leptomeningeal metastases, or spinal cord compression.
- An active skin disorder that has required systemic therapy within one year of the first dose of study intervention.
- History of medically significant rhabdomyolysis.
- For subjects with prior MEK or RAF exposure, Grade 4 toxicity is deemed related to the MEK inhibitor.
- Symptomatic bowel obstruction within 3 months of the first dose of study intervention
- Concurrent ocular disorders.
- Concurrent heart disease or severe obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Active or past medical history of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, including drug-induced or radiation pneumonitis, pulmonary fibrosis, or adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
- Subjects with the inability to swallow oral medications.
- History of hypersensitivity to any of the active agents or ingredients of study intervention: peanut, soya, polyoxyl castor oil, etcetc.). Prior hypersensitivity to anthracyclines or anthracenediones if the use of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) is planned.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Active, uncontrolled infection (bacterial, viral, or fungal) requiring systemic therapy.

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.
