Protein clue may predict ovarian cancer outcomes
NCT ID NCT07366242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a protein called DHODH in tissue from 72 women with a type of ovarian cancer. Researchers want to see if the amount of this protein can help predict how well chemotherapy works and how long patients live. The goal is to better understand the disease, not to test a new treatment.
