Summary

This early-phase study tested whether adding a new drug called LDE225 to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) is safe for women with ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum-based treatments. Fifteen participants were monitored for side effects and to find the best dose. The goal was to control the disease, not cure it.
