Summary

This trial is testing whether a vaccine made from a person's own tumor cells can help keep ovarian cancer from coming back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18 or older with Stage IIIb, IIIc, or IV high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. They must have completed surgery and chemotherapy without prior hypersensitivity to those treatments and be in clinical complete response. Participants need normal organ function and no history of certain diseases like autoimmune disorders or recent heart issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests Vigil, an investigational product against a placebo in patients who've had ovarian-related cancers. It aims to see if Vigil extends the time before the disease comes back compared to not receiving it. Patients are randomly assigned to receive either Vigil or a placebo.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for Vigil aren't listed here, common ones for cancer trials may include fatigue, nausea, allergic reactions, and potential impacts on immune function which could increase infection risk.
