New drug combo tested for ovarian cancer that resists standard treatment

NCT ID NCT02867956

Summary

This study tested whether adding a drug called apatinib to a standard chemotherapy (etoposide) could help control ovarian cancer that had stopped responding to platinum-based treatments. It involved 35 women with advanced ovarian cancer to see if the combination was effective and safe. The goal was to find a better option for patients whose cancer had become resistant to standard care.
