NCT ID NCT03772028
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery helps people with stage III ovarian cancer live longer. About 538 participants will be randomly assigned to standard surgery alone or surgery plus the heated chemo. The main goal is to see if the extra treatment improves overall survival and delays cancer return.
