Full Title
The MILO Study (MEK Inhibitor in Low-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer): A Multinational, Randomized, Open-label Phase 3 Study of MEK162 vs. Physician's Choice Chemotherapy in Patients with Recurrent or Persistent Low-grade Serous Carcinomas of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube or Primary Peritoneum
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the investigational drug MEK162 with standard chemotherapy in women with low-grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has returned after being treated or persists despite therapy. MEK162 works by inhibiting a protein called MEK1/2, which can fuel cancer cell growth. It is taken orally (by mouth).
Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: MEK162 (two-thirds of the patients) or standard chemotherapy with liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, or topotecan (the remaining one-third of patients).
