NCT03877796 · Allarity Therapeutics
Clinical Pre-screening Protocol for Ovarian Cancer
What this study is about
The patient's local archival tumor tissue (FFPE) from original tumor, or from the metastatic tissue, will be collected to potentially identify if they - at a later stage of their disease - will be likely to benefit from treatment with any of the experimental cancer drugs available to Allarity Therapeutics.
View original scientific description
The patient's local archival tumor tissue (FFPE) from original tumor, or from the metastatic tissue, will be collected to potentially identify if they - at a later stage of their disease - will be likely to benefit from treatment with any of the investigational cancer drugs available to Allarity Therapeutics. Data from this study can further be used to explore in a retrospective fashion, sensitivity to other chemotherapeutic drugs previously used in the treatment of their ovarian cancer, to investigate whether or not the DRP® method can predict and confirm the obtained sensitivity to the prior given drugs as well as prospective analyses guiding the Investigators on future treatments.
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 must have platinum-resistant disease, defined as progression within 6 months after the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy, or are platinum ineligible.
- Patients have received no more than one prior line of therapy in the platinum resistant or platinum ineligible setting
- FFPE tumor tissue available
Exclusion criteria
- Patients who have platinum-refractory disease, defined as progression during the last platinum-based chemotherapy.
- Other malignancy with exception of any stage I and II cancer that is deemed cured by the Investigator
Where
- Boston, Massachusetts
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

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.
