Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing two oral drugs, fuzuloparib and apatinib, given before surgery to women with a specific genetic type (HRD-positive) of advanced ovarian cancer. The goal is to shrink tumors enough for complete surgical removal, potentially improving outcomes and avoiding chemotherapy. The study will enroll 48 participants and measure how many achieve successful tumor removal.

Active substance

What this could lead to

If successful, this drug combination could shrink tumors before surgery, making complete removal more likely and potentially improving survival for women with a specific type of advanced ovarian cancer.

What could go wrong
