Study Summary

This is a single-institution, single-arm study with a safety lead-in to determine if previously established safe doses of autophagy drugs, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and nelfinavir mesylate (NFV) will benefit ovarian cancer patients in a maintenance setting. Patients will receive the two study drugs HCQ and NFV in combination with maintenance bevacizumab.

Primary Outcome

To measure the safety of HCQ + NFV in combination with standard-of-care maintenance bevacizumab in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer. DLT (dose limiting toxicity) is the standard endpoint in evaluating safety at this study phase. Will monitor adverse events per CTCAE v5.0.
