Trial on Radical Upfront Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer (NCT02828618)

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: AGO Study Group

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study consists of three parts, whereas Part 1 and Part 2 are performed in Germany only, and Part 3 is a multinational trial. All patients with suspicion of advanced ovarian cancer are detected in the participating study centers in a pre-screening. The study centers will register all patients with suspected ovarian cancer in a screening log. After the patients have given informed consent, they can be enrolled in different parts of the study. TRUST-Trial: This part compares two strategies in the therapy of advanced ovarian cancer. En detail, this part of the trial will evaluate if one of two strategies of timing surgery within the therapeutic procedures may show any significant advances in terms of overall survival over the other.
