Comparing secondary surgery plus chemotherapy to chemotherapy alone for relapsed ovarian cancer after PARPi treatment
Official title: Secondary Cytoreduction Followed by Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Relapsed Ovarian Cancer After PARPi Maintenance Treatment: a Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, Phase 3 Trial
Run by Women's Hospital School Of Medicine Zhejiang University · NCT05607329 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether adding surgery to chemotherapy helps women with relapsed ovarian cancer feel better compared to just getting chemotherapy alone after they've been on a specific treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with first-line or second-line recurrent epithelial ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma who have undergone PARPi maintenance therapy for more than six months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not received prior platinum-based chemotherapy or those with significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of secondary cytoreduction followed by chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer who have undergone PARPi maintenance treatment. It is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial that aims to analyze the clinicopathological and molecular characteristics of these patients. The study will assess whether patients who have been on PARPi maintenance for over six months are sensitive to platinum-based drugs and the potential benefits of secondary tumor cell reduction. The goal is to provide evidence-based recommendations for treating recurrent ovarian cancer after PARPi maintenance.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for patients with relapsed ovarian cancer, potentially enhancing survival rates and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in similar approaches, but this specific combination of secondary cytoreduction and chemotherapy in the context of PARPi maintenance is relatively novel.
