What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether thin slices of ovarian tumors, kept alive in the lab, can predict how a patient will respond to chemotherapy. Researchers will take tumor samples from 48 women with advanced ovarian cancer during surgery. They will then expose the slices to different drugs and compare the lab results to how the patients actually respond to treatment. If the method works, it could lead to personalized drug testing for ovarian cancer.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this method could help doctors quickly choose the most effective chemotherapy for each ovarian cancer patient, improving treatment outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 48 participants. The lab test may not accurately predict real patient responses, and results may not apply to all ovarian cancer types.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 48 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Sep 2021

Expected to finish

Aug 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 80 years

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Preoperative clinical, serological and radiologic suspicion of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IIIC or greater ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer; 2. Age over 18 years; 3. Estimated life expectancy of at least 4 weeks; 4. Fagotti score (PIV) \> 8 or patients not considered operable in the first place for any reasons; 5.
