NCT ID NCT05284552

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tests whether adding the blood thinner tinzaparin to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes for women with advanced ovarian cancer. About 40 participants will receive either chemotherapy plus tinzaparin or chemotherapy alone. The main goal is to see if tinzaparin affects a key tumor marker called CA-125.

What this could lead to
