Recruiting studies
- NCT04811703RecruitingPhase 1
Testing aerosol chemotherapy through the belly for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy inside the abdomen (belly) using a pressurized aerosol during a procedure, along with standard blood (IV) chemotherapy. It may help people with advanced ovarian cancer whose tumors have not progressed but are not removable with surgery yet.
LilleAges 18–75 - NCT04789694RecruitingPhase 3
Prehab program for gynecologic cancer before treatment
This trial tests whether a structured “prehab” program (before major cancer treatment) can improve how well people tolerate therapy and recover. It focuses on people with certain ovarian or early endometrial cancers who need additional treatment planning, including timing of surgery or chemotherapy.
PragueAges 18–85 - NCT04751435Recruiting
Genetic testing education for cancer patients of diverse backgrounds
This study tests new educational materials about genetic testing for cancer patients. It aims to find the best ways to explain genetic testing to people from different backgrounds, especially Black, Latino, and non-Latino non-Black communities.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04701645RecruitingPhase 1
Microdevice study for advanced ovarian or related cancers
This Phase 1 study tests a tiny implanted device placed in the abdomen to help evaluate or treat advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. If you qualify, you’d also have additional tests and surgery as part of your usual care plan.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04657068RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ART0380 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests a new drug called ART0380 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. It may be especially helpful for those with certain DNA repair gene changes (like ATM or BRCA). The drug will be given alone or with chemotherapy (gemcitabine or irinotecan) depending on the part of the trial.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04516447RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for advanced ovarian cancer
This Phase 1 trial studies how well and how safely azenosertib (ZN-c3) works in people with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer. It may help by offering a new treatment option for cancers that don’t respond well to platinum chemotherapy (platinum-resistant).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT04575935RecruitingPhase 3
Minimally invasive surgery after chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial studies whether doing surgery using smaller incisions after chemotherapy works as well as a more traditional approach for certain people with stage IIIC–IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It may help reduce surgical trauma while aiming for effective tumor removal.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04329494RecruitingPhase 1
Study of targeted drug delivery into the abdomen using PIPAC
This Phase 1 trial tests PIPAC, a way to deliver anti-cancer medicine directly into the abdomen using a minimally invasive procedure. It is for people with peritoneal spread from certain cancers to see whether this approach is safe and potentially helpful.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04038619RecruitingPhase 1
Fecal transplant for immune-therapy diarrhea or bowel inflammation
This early-phase study tests whether stool/fecal microbiota transplant (a fecal transplant) can help people who develop significant diarrhea or colitis after immune-checkpoint therapy. It aims to reduce bowel inflammation and improve symptoms, while carefully checking for infections.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03968406RecruitingPhase 1
Talazoparib plus radiation for recurrent gynecologic cancers
This Phase 1 study tests whether the cancer drug talazoparib, combined with radiation, can better control recurrent gynecologic cancers in the pelvis/abdomen. It focuses on patients whose cancer has come back locally enough that radiation can be given, while other disease is not rapidly worsening.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03877796Recruiting
Pre-screening study for ovarian cancer after platinum treatment
This trial is a pre-screening process for people with ovarian cancer whose disease came back quickly after platinum chemotherapy (or who cannot take platinum). It may help match you to future study options using a tumor tissue sample.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03564340RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing ubamatamab alone or with cemiplimab for ovarian and MUC16+ cancers
This early-phase study tests ubamatamab, a cancer-targeting antibody, given by itself or with cemiplimab. It is meant to treat adults whose cancer has come back and who may not have other good standard options left.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT03538665Recruiting
Testing for endometrial and ovarian cancer using tampons
This study checks whether collecting samples using tampons can help detect endometrial and ovarian cancers in people who are already scheduled for certain gynecologic surgeries. It may help researchers improve future early detection tests.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–99 - NCT02732860Recruiting
Test your tumor’s drug response using a lab model
This trial grows a lab model from your own tumor tissue (or resected tissue) to predict which drugs might work best. It’s meant to match investigational treatments to your specific tumor biology.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03010124Recruiting
Biomarker testing in ovarian cancer to guide future treatment
This study looks at tumor tissue from ovarian cancer patients to find “biomarkers,” or lab signals, that may predict how the disease behaves or how it might respond to treatment. You may be asked for a biopsy of the relapsed (coming back) tumor or to use an existing archived tumor sample.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT02302742Recruiting
Registry for triple-negative breast cancer and inherited mutation carriers
This registry studies people with triple-negative breast cancer or inherited “HBOC” gene mutations (like BRCA, PALB2, PTEN, TP53). It collects information to better understand risk, outcomes, and how these cancers behave—helping future research and care.
Hays, KansasAges Any age - NCT01441089Recruiting
Donate blood for genetic testing in an NIH research study
This study collects blood from people already in an NIH (National Institutes of Health) clinical research program to run genetic tests. It may help researchers understand cancer and related inherited conditions by studying DNA changes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT07760012Recruiting
Pet scan with new tracer for solid tumors
This study uses a new imaging tracer, called 68Ga-SorB, during a PET/CT scan to look at tumors. It may help doctors see cancer more clearly. The trial is for adults with certain types of solid tumors (such as melanoma, liver, lung, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, or bile duct cancer) who need a PET/CT scan as part of their care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT03983226RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery plus niraparib for returning ovarian cancer
This trial tests whether adding niraparib (a pill treatment that targets cancer cell DNA repair) after surgery can help people with ovarian cancer that has come back. It focuses on “platinum-sensitive” cases and tries to remove all visible tumor when possible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05606692RecruitingPhase 4
Propofol vs sevoflurane anesthesia in ovarian tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia medicines—propofol and sevoflurane—during planned surgery for primary ovarian tumors. It looks at how these anesthetics may affect outcomes in people having elective brain surgery related to ovarian cancer treatment planning.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–80 - NCT06117384Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ovarian cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 602 recruiting ovarian cancer 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 ovarian cancer 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 ovarian cancer 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.
