Stage I ovarian cancer treatment after surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies whether an additional treatment after surgery can help people with early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer live longer and stay well for more time. It is meant for patients who had a detailed staging operation and are able to start treatment within 8 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have epithelial ovarian cancer confirmed by lab testing of tissue
- Your cancer stage is FIGO Ia (grade 2–3), Ib (grade 2–3), or Ic(b) (any grade and type)
- You had a thorough staging surgery, including removal of the uterus and ovaries/ tubes and sampling of the abdominal lining and lymph nodes (as required by the study)
- You are 20 years or older and your recovery allows starting the first study treatment within 8 weeks after surgery
- Your overall health is good (performance status 0–1) and your organ tests are acceptable (your doctor will check this)
- You have signed informed consent and did NOT have prior chemo or radiation

This Phase 3 trial tests whether patients with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer do better with surgery first versus chemotherapy first. It also groups people based on how extensive the cancer is to choose the best approach.
This trial tests combining surgery with an immunotherapy drug (sintilimab) for women whose ovarian cancer has returned after initial treatment. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for people with specific tumor markers.
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) after optimal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for women who have already received 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery.
This Phase 2 trial compares two different treatment strategies as the first chemotherapy after surgery for advanced epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian-tube cancer. It may help doctors find a more effective or better-tolerated approach for people in your situation.
This trial checks whether having surgery to remove as much tumor as possible, followed by ongoing targeted treatment, helps people with advanced ovarian (and related) cancers live longer and/or control cancer better. It specifically uses tumor-testing results to match patients and then continues treatment after surgery.
This trial tests if laparoscopic surgery after 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy can help people with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. It's for those whose tumors have shrunk enough after chemo and who are healthy enough for surgery.
