Study Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works when given in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel may be a better treatment for ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Primary Outcome

PFS was defined from the start of neoadjuvant therapy until the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Disease progression was evaluated using RECIST v1.1 guidelines. Patients who were alive without disease progression were censored at their last evaluation date or until withdrawal of consent. Patients who were removed off protocol for reasons other than disease progression, death, treatment toxicity, or withdrawal of consent were censored at the start date of their non-
