PIPAC chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (called PIPAC) for women with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery to remove all tumors. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps slow cancer growth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with high-grade serous ovarian cancer, stage IIIC or IVA
- Age 18–70 years old
- Cannot have surgery to remove all cancer, so you received or will receive chemotherapy first
- Normal kidney and liver function based on recent blood tests
- Healthy blood counts (not too low) to tolerate treatment
- Good enough overall health to handle the procedure (WHO score 0–2)

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 study tests a new way of giving the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the belly cavity as a spray during a short surgery (PIPAC) for women with ovarian cancer that is no longer responding to standard platinum-based chemo. It aims to see if this treatment is safe, tolerable, and effective.
This trial tests a special chemotherapy delivery method called PIPAC (pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy) for ovarian cancer that has spread within the abdomen. The goal is to deliver cancer-fighting drugs more effectively directly to where the cancer is.
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.
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.
This trial tests a new way to deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (called PIPAC) for people with cancer spread to the lining of the belly. It uses the drug mitomycin and is for patients who cannot have standard surgery or heated chemotherapy.
