What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This study tests whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery is safe for women aged 70 and older with advanced ovarian cancer. The treatment, called NIPEC with carboplatin, is delivered at normal body temperature for 90 minutes right after the surgeon removes visible tumors. Researchers will closely monitor complications, recovery, and quality of life to see if this approach allows frail patients to complete standard chemotherapy afterward.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with carboplatin
What this could lead to
If safe and feasible, this approach could offer a treatment option for elderly or frail ovarian cancer patients who may not tolerate standard therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-phase study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The chemotherapy is given directly into the abdomen, which carries risks of infection, organ damage, and side effects from carboplatin.
