NCT ID NCT07443475

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a treatment called electrochemotherapy for women whose vulvar cancer has come back. It combines a chemotherapy drug (bleomycin) with electric pulses to help the drug enter cancer cells more effectively. The goal is to shrink tumors and avoid major surgery. Only 13 participants will be enrolled in this early-phase trial.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

bleomycin

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could shrink vulvar cancer tumors and reduce the need for disfiguring surgery, improving quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early-phase trial (13 people) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Side effects from bleomycin or the electric pulses are possible.
