NCT ID NCT07460180
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new approach for advanced ovarian cancer. Patients take a targeted drug (olaparib) for a week before surgery, then receive heated chemotherapy directly in the abdomen during the operation. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective. The trial involves 55 adults with stage III or certain stage IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Olaparib (a PARP inhibitor) combined with cisplatin chemotherapy and hyperthermia during surgery
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more effective treatment for advanced ovarian cancer by combining a targeted drug with heated chemotherapy during surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 55 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause unexpected side effects or not improve outcomes.
