Can surgery buy more time for ovarian cancer patients?

NCT ID NCT07295132

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

Summary

This study looks at whether a second surgery to remove visible tumors (secondary cytoreductive surgery) after chemotherapy helps women with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. About 160 participants will be randomly assigned to get surgery plus chemo or chemo alone. The goal is to see if surgery delays the cancer from growing back.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Secondary cytoreductive surgery (surgery to remove visible tumor) and platinum-based chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that adding surgery after chemotherapy helps women with recurrent ovarian cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial with only 160 participants, so results are preliminary. Surgery carries risks like infection or complications, and it may not improve survival for all patients.
