Ovarian cancer drug combo shows promise in slowing disease
NCT ID NCT01081951
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether adding the drug olaparib to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin) helps people with advanced ovarian cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse. It included 162 adults whose cancer had previously responded to platinum-based treatment. The main goal was to see if the combination delayed cancer progression compared to chemotherapy alone.
