💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat advanced, high-grade ovarian cancer (OC). Advanced means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and may not be removed with surgery. High-grade means the cancer cells grow and spread quickly. This trial includes types of OC that started in cells that cover the ovaries, in the lining of the belly, or in the fallopian tubes.
The usual treatment for high-grade OC may include one or both of these:
* Chemotherapy, which is a treatment that uses medicine to destroy cancer cells or stop them from growing.
* Bevacizumab, which is a targeted therapy that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread and targets tumor blood vessels.
Researchers want to learn about the trial medicine, raludotatug deruxtecan (also called R-DXd or MK-5909), when given with and without bevacizumab and how participants respond

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
* Has a histologically or cytologically documented advanced high-grade serous or high-grade endometrioid epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
* Has received 1 line of platinum-based therapy with a minimum of 4 cycles of platinum-doublet chemotherapy and have platinum-sensitive disease.
* Has received a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) as maintenance treatment after the first line platinum-based chemotherapy course and experienced radiographic progression during treatment or within 42 days of the last dose of PARPi.
* Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days before randomization.
* Has recovered from any AEs due to previous anticancer therapies.
The main exclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
* Has clear cell, mucinous, or sarcomatous histology, mixed tumors containing any histology, or low-grade/borderline ovarian cancer.
* Has a history of thrombotic disorders, hemorrhage, hemoptysis, or active GI bleeding within 6 months before randomization.
* Has uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease.
* Has clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder (ie, pulmonary emboli within 3 months of randomization, severe asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\], restrictive lung disease, pleural effusion) and any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disorders with potential pulmonary involvement (eg, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis), or prior pneumonectomy.
* Has received chronic steroid treatment, with some exceptions.
* Has current, clinically relevant bowel obstruction (including subocclusive disease) including obstruction related to underlying epithelial ovarian cancer, abdominal fistula or GI perforation, intra-abdominal abscess, or evidence of rectosigmoid involvement by pelvic exam.
* Has known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years.
