About this study
Official title: Phase 1b, Multicentre, Multiple Ascending Dose, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Pharmacodynamic Study of Tilvestamab (BGB149) in Relapsed, Platinum-resistant, High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer (HGSOC) Patients
The primary purpose is to assess the safety and tolerability of tilvestamab following IV administration of multiple doses to participants with HGSOC who have been treated with at least 1 complete course of platinum-based chemotherapy and whose disease has relapsed with platinum resistance ([PRR]-HGSOC) and to determine the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) exposure by comprehensive profiling (at single dose and steady-state) of multiple ascending doses of tilvestamab.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
TilvestamabBiological
Also called BGB149
Tilvestamab will be administered as IV infusion.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tilvestamab | Experimental | Participants will receive tilvestamab at a low starting dose level (Cohort A) given via intravenous (IV) infusion every 2 weeks. Dose escalations to subsequent cohorts (Cohort B and Cohort C) will be decided by the Protocol Steering Committee (PSC) after review of all Cycle 1 (28 days cycle) safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) data up to Cycle 1 Day 22 for all participants in the ongoing cohort. Receives: Biological: Tilvestamab |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Tilvestamab in people with Ovarian Neoplasms, run by BerGenBio ASA at 9 sites in 4 countries.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom, South Korea, Norway, Singapore. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: After completion of all planned dose levels in the dose escalation phase, the sponsor decision was not to continue with expanding the cohorts of any of the dose levels, using the existing study design.). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Number of Participants with Adverse events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) (time frame: Up to 2.5 years). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04893551, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 20 Apr 2023.
