IGFBP-2 Vaccine to Prevent Ovarian Cancer Progression in Patients With Serologic Detection of Recurrence
United States26 participantsStarted 2026-07-01
Plain-language summary
This phase II trial studies how well giving the insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 \[pUMVC3-hIGFBP-2 multi-epitope plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (IGFBP-2)\] vaccine after one dose of carboplatin works to stop ovarian cancer from growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressing) in patients whose cancer recurrence is detected only in the blood (serologic detection) following treatment with platinum chemotherapy. IGFBP-2 is a protein found in ovarian cancer cells. The IGFBP-2 vaccine may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It has been shown to activate parts of the immune system that may act against tumors. Giving the IGFBP-2 vaccine after a single dose of carboplatin may be an effective way to stop ovarian cancer from progressing in patients with serologic detection following treatment with platinum chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Have a diagnosis of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received systemic chemotherapy including platinum-based chemotherapy
* Have a cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) that normalized after first-line therapy
* CA-125 increased to more than twice the upper limit of normal or two times the nadir value after most recent second or later line of treatment
* Have no measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. Ascites and pleural effusions are not measurable disease, if asymptomatic
* All patients who are having sex that can lead to pregnancy must agree to contraception for the duration of the study (end of one year follow up). Note: Acceptable methods of contraception are condoms with contraceptive foam, oral, implantable or injectable contraceptives, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, diaphragm with spermicidal gel, or a sexual partner who is surgically sterilized or postmenopausal
* Have estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months
* Be willing and able to provide written informed consent/assent for the trial
* Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of signing informed consent
* Have a performance status of 0 or 1 on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale
* White blood cell (WBC) ≥ 3000/mm\^3 (performed within 14 days of treatment initiation)
* Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 10 g/dl (performed within 14 days of treatment initiation)
* Hematocrit (Hct) ≥ 28% (performed within 14 days…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
