Inclusion Criteria:
1. Participants who voluntarily sign the informed consent form, are willing and able to comply with the scheduled visits, study treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures.
2. Female participants aged ≥ 18 years when signing the informed consent form.
3. Pathologically confirmed epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
4. Participants with at least one measurable lesion as defined per RECIST v1.1.
5. Participants must meet the criteria for platinum-resistant recurrence, which is defined as disease progression during platinum-based therapy or disease progression or recurrence within 6 months after the last platinum-based therapy. Note: Participants must have radiographically confirmed disease progression during or after the most recent line of systemic therapy. Biochemical progression is not considered disease progression in this study.
6. Participants must meet the requirements of failure or intolerance to the existing standard of treatment or no standard of treatment. Prior use of at least 1 but ≤ 3 lines of systemic antitumor treatment (neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment are not considered prior systemic treatment, unless disease progression occurred during treatment or within 6 months after the last dose of treatment). Maintenance therapy (e.g., bevacizumab, poly-ADP ribose polymerase \[PARP\] inhibitors, hormonal therapy) is considered part of the prior line of treatment. Treatment changes due to toxicity without progression will be considered part of the prior line of treatment (i.e., not counted separately).
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
8. Hematology test within 7 days prior to enrollment (based on the laboratory normal range at each site), and no use of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) or blood products /erythropoietin (EPO) within 14 days prior to the laboratory test during the screening period.
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100 × 109/L; Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
9. Blood chemistry test within 7 days prior to enrollment (based on the laboratory normal range at each site); Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); ALT ≤ 3 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for participants with liver metastases); AST ≤ 3 × ULN (≤ 5 × ULN for participants with liver metastasis); Creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 60 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula).
10. Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
11. Female participants of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods and not to donate eggs during the study and for 8 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative blood or urine pregnancy test result at screening and be willing to undergo additional pregnancy tests as needed throughout the study. See Appendix 1 for details.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. The best overall response during the first-line platinum-based treatment is disease progression, or disease recurrence or progression within 3 months after the end of the platinum-based treatment.
2. History of other malignancies within 5 years prior to enrollment, excluding cured skin basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, or papillary thyroid carcinoma.
3. Anti-tumor therapy, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy, etc. within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug, except for the following items;
1. Received nitrosourea or mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug;
2. Oral fluorouracil, small molecule targeted drugs, or endocrine therapy within 2 weeks or within 5 half-lives of the drug prior to the first dose of the investigational drug, whichever is shorter;
3. Use of traditional Chinese medicine with anti-tumor indications or endocrine therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational drug.
4. Participants who have undergone major surgery (craniotomy, thoracotomy, or laparotomy, or as defined by the investigator) or have experienced significant trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational product, or those who require elective surgery during the study.
5. Participants with adverse reactions due to previous antitumor therapy that have not recovered to Grade ≤1 (based on CTCAE 5.0), except toxicities without safety risks as judged by the investigator, such as alopecia.
6. Participants with gastrointestinal perforation, gastrointestinal fistula, or intra-abdominal abscess, or patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage, gastrointestinal obstruction (including paralytic ileus), or imaging/clinical symptoms suggestive of bowel obstruction within 3 months prior to the first use of the investigational product;
7. Participants who are unable to take oral medications, or with other factors that interfere with the oral administration and absorption of the drug, or those who require total parenteral nutrition.
8. Participants who need concomitant use of strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers, or medications that prolong the QT interval, within 14 days prior to the first use of the investigational product or during the study.
9. Participants with symptomatic or uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastases or meningeal metastases, i.e., patients with brain metastasis disease progression confirmed by examination within 2 months after radiotherapy or other local treatments, or patients who are judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for enrollment.
10. Uncontrolled bone metastases, i.e., patients who have experienced fracture or have the risk of fracture in recent days, patients who need surgery or localized radiotherapy in recent days, or those with other critical conditions as determined by the investigator.
11. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage (once per month or more frequently).
12. History of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including but not limited to:
Patients with acute myocardial infarction, severe/uncontrolled angina, or coronary artery bypass surgery within 6 months prior to the first dose of the investigational product; congestive heart failure with a New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification ≥ 2; left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%; Fridericia corrected QT interval \> 470 ms (average of three measurements); or a history of myocarditis (including patients with a past history of myocarditis that recovered after treatment) or other Grade ≥ 3 cardiovascular events.

16. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women who plan to become pregnant during the study.
17. Participants with mental disorder or poor compliance.
18. Participants with prior use of utidelone.
19. Participants with known hypersensitivity to the investigational product or any of the excipients.
20. Participants who simultaneously participate in another interventional clinical trial or use other investigational therapies.
21. Participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, are not suitable to participate in this study due to history of severe systemic diseases or other reasons.
