Surgery plus heated chemotherapy for recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies a planned surgery to remove as much cancer as possible, followed by heated chemotherapy placed in the belly (called HIPEC). It’s for people with recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer, aiming to control the cancer and improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your ovarian cancer has been proven by pathology as recurrent primary mucinous ovarian cancer
- You are age 18 or older
- Your daily functioning is limited at most mildly (ECOG 0–2)
- Your blood counts and organ tests are within safe ranges (neutrophils, platelets, liver/bilirubin, and kidney function)
- You are not too soon after chemo or radiation (more than 2 weeks; bevacizumab needs more than 6 weeks)
- You can sign informed consent and you can follow study visits and instructions

This trial studies whether adding a special heated chemotherapy treatment during surgery (called HIPEC) improves outcomes for some people with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. It compares surgery alone versus surgery plus HIPEC after you’ve had chemotherapy first.
This trial looks at whether a heated chemotherapy treatment given in the abdomen during a planned second surgery (HIPEC) can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian cancers. It is for people who have already had initial chemotherapy and partially responded, with enough health to safely undergo surgery.
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 a second surgery followed by heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdomen can help people with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer whose disease has returned while on a PARP inhibitor.
This trial tests a new combination of two immunotherapy drugs plus standard chemotherapy before surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. The goal is to see if this treatment shrinks the cancer more and makes surgery more effective.
This trial tests whether using a small-scope (minimally invasive) surgery instead of a large incision can safely remove remaining ovarian cancer after chemotherapy. It may mean a faster recovery and fewer complications.
