• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 1969-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal cisplatin in treating patients who have recurrent ovarian cancer.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: New York University School of Medicine; NYU Langone Health
• Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Cisplatin
