Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine plan to launch a large clinical trial of an experimental two-drug combination for treating late-stage ovarian cancer. The drug combo produced a positive effect in 70 percent of patients in a Phase 2 trial and the IU researchers said they may have discovered biomarkers that could help identify women who would respond best to the therapy. The therapy combines two chemotherapy agents, decitabine with carboplatin. The IU researchers, led by Dr. Daniela Matei, are using it for women who have become resistant to carboplatin after multiple rounds of chemotherapy. IU is now seeking grant funding for a Phase 3 trial, in which the combo therapy will be compared against other approved therapies for ovarian cancer. Their research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health, National Cancer Institute, Walther Cancer Foundation in Indianapolis and the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
