About this trial
The purpose of this prospective, parallel-group, cohort study is to implement phenotype-guided targeted therapy based on functional signal transduction pathway (STP) activity in recurrent ovarian cancer patients using a novel mRNA-based assay. Existing targeted drugs with tolerable toxicity profiles are used to investigate the therapeutic value beyond their approved indication, which are deemed beneficial in the select group of patients with a relevant predominantly active functional STP, in order to improve survival and maintain quality of life.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Female, age > 18 years
Platinum-resistant disease, defined as disease recurrence or progression within six months of last platinum-based chemotherapy or;
Patient refrains from standard therapy or;
Asymptomatic patient who is not yet eligible for standard palliative chemotherapy but has an increase of CA125 tumour marker at two consecutive time points 28 days apart with a value of two times nadir above 35 U/ml.
Disqualifiers
Age < 18 years.
Patient is receiving any other anti-cancer therapy (e.g. cytotoxic or targeted drug or radiation) or is chemotherapy naïve. The required wash out period prior to start of matched targeted therapy is at least three weeks.
Patient is diagnosed with or treated for a second primary tumour (except non-melanoma skin tumour) one year prior to study inclusion.
Inability to obtain (sufficient) tumour material.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression free survival on matched targeted therapy determined by STP-activity (PFS2) in comparison to the PFS recorded on the therapy administered immediately prior to enrolment (PFS1).
PFS on matched targeted therapy (PFS2) is defined as the time from start of matched targeted therapy to disease progression, defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria, or death from any cause. PFS on prior therapy (PFS1) is defined as the time from start of the prior treatment to disease progression defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of patients with an actionable active pathway for which targeted therapy is recommended in relation to the number of patients who underwent a biopsy.
Proportion of patients who receive matched targeted therapy in relation to the number of patients included in each study arm.
Proportion of patients included in arm A, B, C, D.
Best overall response defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria based on radiological imaging.
One-year survival
One-year survival is defined as the time from start matched targeted therapy till death or the end of the one-year follow-up period.
