First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding an experimental drug called TORL-1-23 to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help women with advanced ovarian cancer. About 60 participants with a specific tumor marker (CLDN6) will receive the combination, then undergo surgery. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and shrinks tumors more effectively.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option that improves outcomes for women with advanced ovarian cancer.
