Endometrial Cancer Uterine Cancer Ovarian Cancer Carcinosarcoma | Drug: Paclitaxel Drug: 300mg DKN-01 Drug: 600mg DKN-01 | Phase 2 |
This study employs a "basket" design to concurrently investigate DKN-01 as monotherapy and in combination with paclitaxel in patients with recurrent epithelial endometrial cancer (EEC), epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), or carcinosarcoma (malignant mixed Mullerian tumor [MMMT]. Thus, 6 distinct patient groups are being independently investigated:
- 300mg DKN-01 monotherapy in recurrent EEC (Group 1)
- 300mg DKN-01+paclitaxel in recurrent EEC (Group 2)
- 300mg DKN-01 monotherapy in recurrent EOC (Group 3)
- 300mg DKN-01+paclitaxel in recurrent EOC (Group 4)
- 600mg DKN-01 monotherapy in recurrent carcinosarcoma (MMMT) (Group 5)
- 600mg DKN-01+paclitaxel in recurrent carcinosarcoma (MMMT) (Group 6)
