Surufatinib combo for first-line and maintenance in high-risk ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of drugs (Surufatinib with carboplatin/paclitaxel) as first treatment for high-risk ovarian cancer, followed by a different combination (Surufatinib with olaparib) to keep the cancer from coming back. It aims to see if these targeted therapies work better than the standard approach.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for high risk?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 941 recruiting high risk studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a high risk trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a high risk trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
