NCT ID NCT03959761

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether giving the immunotherapy drug nivolumab directly into the abdomen is safe after extensive surgery and heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) for advanced ovarian cancer. 22 adults with recurrent ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer took part. The goal was to find the best dose that does not cause severe side effects, while potentially boosting the immune system's ability to fight remaining cancer cells.
