Scientists test new drug combo in fight against Tough-to-Treat ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT02195973
Summary
This early-stage study aimed to find out if adding a new drug called LDE225 to standard chemotherapy (paclitaxel) was safe for women with recurrent ovarian cancer that had stopped responding to platinum-based drugs. The main goal was to check for side effects and determine the best dose of the new combination. Researchers enrolled 15 participants to see if blocking a specific cancer growth pathway with LDE225 could make tumors more responsive to treatment.
