Details

In this study, researchers collected samples of cancer to help them learn more about why chemotherapy stopped working.

The trial was for women who had:

  • ovarian cancer

  • primary peritoneal cancer

  • fallopian tube cancer

These cancers are treated in the same way, so when we use the term ovarian cancer in this summary, we are referring to all of these.

This study was open for women to join between 2012 and 2017. Initial results were published in 2017 and 2018.

Recruitment start: 11 December 2012

Recruitment end: 31 August 2017

How to join

Please note: In order to join a trial you will need to discuss it with your doctor, unless otherwise specified.
