About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Phase 3 Comparison of Platinum-based Therapy With TSR-042 and Niraparib Versus Standard of Care Platinum-based Therapy as First-line Treatment of Stage III or IV Nonmucinous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by complex molecular and genetic changes. The high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, programmed death receptor ligands 1 (PD-L1) expression, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in ovarian tumors provide several targets for treatment and maintenance of disease response. Given the unmet medical need of participants with advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer, this study design will enable investigators to provide participants with current SOC for ovarian cancer for the duration of the study. This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 3 study that will primarily compare the progression-free survival (PFS) for participants receiving dostarlimab with SOC chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab followed by niraparib and dostarlimab maintenance +/- bevacizumab versus participants receiving SOC with chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance. This comparison will be investigated in participants of newly diagnosed stage III or IV advanced non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer participants and also to compare PFS of all participants with Stage III or IV high-grade non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based combination therapy, dostarlimab (TSR-042), and niraparib to SOC platinum-based combination therapy. The currently recommended SOC therapy for the first line treatment of Stage III or IV ovarian cancer is the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin, with or without concurrent and maintenance bevacizumab. Participants will receive SOC during the chemotherapy Run-In period (cycle 1) before randomization to study treatment (cycle 2). Concurrent bevacizumab use must be determined prior to randomization at cycle 2.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first by the Investigator assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) version 1.1. Progressive Disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g. percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeter (mm).
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Secondary outcomes (12)
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death by any cause.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
PFS Determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Per RECIST v1.1 Criteria
Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first determined by the BICR according to RECIST version 1.1. Progressive Disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g. percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5mm.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Time to First Subsequent Therapy (TFST)
Time to First Subsequent Therapy (TFST) is defined as the time from randomization until the start date of the first subsequent anticancer therapy or death by any cause, whichever occurs first. First subsequent anticancer therapy is defined as the earliest anticancer therapy on the follow-up anticancer therapy form.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Time to Second Subsequent Therapy (TSST)
Time to Second Subsequent Therapy (TSST) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the start date of the second subsequent anticancer therapy or death of any cause, whichever occurs first. Second subsequent anticancer therapy is defined as an anticancer therapy with a start date after the first subsequent anticancer therapy and a recorded PD on first subsequent anticancer therapy, as captured on the follow-up anticancer therapy eCRF form.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Time to Second Progression (PFS2)
PFS2 is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first Progressive Disease per Investigator's assessment after initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Progressive Disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g. percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeter (mm).
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline achieving a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by Investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1 criteria for participants with measurable disease at baseline. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (<)10 mm.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Duration of Response (DOR)
DOR is defined as the time from the first documented response (complete response (CR) OR partial response (PR) ) to the first documented disease progression per Investigator assessed RECIST v1.1 or death by any cause in participants with measurable disease at baseline who responded to treatment. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g. percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline achieving a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) or stable disease (SD) by Investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1 criteria for participants with measurable disease at baseline. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. SD defined as any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (<)10 mm.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Positive Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) of Dostarlimab
Serum samples were collected for the analysis of Anti-drug antibody (ADAs) of dostarlimab.
Measured: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Change From Baseline (CFB) for the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and Health Utility Index (HUI) of European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5-Level Scale (EQ-5D-5L) Questionnaire
EQ-5D-5L is a standardized, participant-rated health outcomes questionnaire covering five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. For each of dimensions, participant self-assigned score: 1 (no problems); 2 (slight problems); 3 (moderate problems); 4 (severe problems); 5 (extreme problems). VAS is collected separately and recorded from 0 (Worst imaginable health state) to 100 (Best imaginable health state). HUI values summarize how good or bad each health state is on a scale of 1 (full health) to 0 (worse health/dead). High HUI value indicates a good HRQoL. Baseline is defined as the latest, non-missing collected value, excluding end of treatment, safety follow-up, long term follow-up visits records and unscheduled visits after end of treatment (EOT).
Measured: Day1 of Chemo Cycles 2(baseline), 4&6; Day1 of Maintenance Cycles 1,2,3,6,9,12,15,17,23,29,35,41,47,53,59,65,71,77,83,89; EOT visit up to a maximum of 63 months; LTFU visit up to a maximum of 69 months(including SFU visit up to a maximum of 61 months)
Number of Participants With Improvement and Worsening in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30)
The EORTC QLQ-C30 includes 30-items with single and multi-item scales. These included five functional scales (physical functioning [PF], role functioning [RF], cognitive functioning [CF], emotional functioning [EF] and social functioning [SF]), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain and nausea/vomiting [N/V]), a global health status (GHS)/ Quality-of-Life (QoL) scale, and six single items (constipation, diarrhoea, insomnia, dyspnoea, appetite loss [AL] and financial difficulties [FD]). Response options are 1 to 4. Scores were averaged and transformed to 0 to 100, a high score for functional scales/ GHS/QoL represent better functioning ability or health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), whereas a high score for symptom scales/ single items represent significant symptomatology.
Measured: Day1 of Chemo Cycles 2(baseline), 4&6; Day1 of Maintenance Cycles 1,2,3,6,9,12,15,17,23,29,35,41,47,53,59,65,71,77,83,89; EOT visit up to a maximum of 63 months; LTFU visit up to a maximum of 69 months(including SFU visit up to a maximum of 61 months)
Number of Participants With Change in Status in EORTC-QLQ Ovarian Cancer Module (EORTC-QLQ-OV28) Questionnaire
The EORTC QLQ-OV28 supplements the QLQ-C30. It includes three functional scales (body image (BI), sexuality (S), attitude to disease/treatment(ATD)) and five symptom scales/items (abdominal/GI symptoms (AS), peripheral neuropathy (PN), hormonal/menopausal symptoms (MS), other chemotherapy side effects (CSE), and hair loss (HS)). Participants responded on a scale of 1-4 (1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit, 4=very much). Higher scores represent better functioning (better quality of life). For functional scales: improved (worsened) is defined as >=10 points increase (decrease) from baseline. For symptom scales: improved (worsened) is defined as >=10 points decrease (increase) from baseline. Baseline is defined as the latest, non-missing collected value, excluding end of treatment, safety follow-up, long term follow-up visits records and unscheduled visits after end of treatment.
Measured: Day1 of Chemo Cycles 2(baseline), 4&6; Day1 of Maintenance Cycles 1,2,3,6,9,12,15,17,23,29,35,41,47,53,59,65,71,77,83,89; EOT visit up to a maximum of 63 months; LTFU visit up to a maximum of 69 months(including SFU visit up to a maximum of 61 months)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous disease, characterized by complex molecular and genetic changes. The high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, programmed death receptor ligands 1 (PD-L1) expression, and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in ovarian tumors provide several targets for treatment and maintenance of disease response. Given the unmet medical need of participants with advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer, this study design will enable investigators to provide participants with current SOC for ovarian cancer for the duration of the study. This is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled Phase 3 study that will primarily compare the progression-free survival (PFS) for participants receiving dostarlimab with SOC chemotherapy +/- bevacizumab followed by niraparib and dostarlimab maintenance +/- bevacizumab versus participants receiving SOC with chemotherapy followed by niraparib maintenance. This comparison will be investigated in participants of newly diagnosed stage III or IV advanced non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer participants and also to compare PFS of all participants with Stage III or IV high-grade non-mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based combination therapy, dostarlimab (TSR-042), and niraparib to SOC platinum-based combination therapy. The currently recommended SOC therapy for the first line treatment of Stage III or IV ovarian cancer is the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin, with or without concurrent and maintenance bevacizumab. Participants will receive SOC during the chemotherapy Run-In period (cycle 1) before randomization to study treatment (cycle 2). Concurrent bevacizumab use must be determined prior to randomization at cycle 2.

Primary outcome
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time frame: Up to approximately 316 weeks
Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first by the Investigator assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) version 1.1. Progressive Disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g. percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 millimeter (mm).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 182 sites in United States, France, Spain, Canada, Germany and 14 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Up to approximately 316 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Dec 2025.
