Study of Ipalotinib with Sunitinib and Olaparib before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (Ipalotinib, Sunitinib, and Olaparib) given before surgery to shrink tumors in people with a specific type of advanced ovarian cancer that has a genetic marker called HRD-positive. The goal is to see if this treatment helps make surgery more effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Neoadjuvant therapy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 354 recruiting studies that include Neoadjuvant therapy, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Neoadjuvant therapy trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Neoadjuvant therapy an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Neoadjuvant therapy or a specific trial is right for you.
