An interventional study of Following 3 or 4 cycles of systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy and complete interval CC-0 surgery, patients in the study will receive 4 cycles of 21 days every 3 weeks of the regimen studied by Armstron in Ovarian Cancer, sponsored by Fundacion para la Formacion e Investigacion Sanitarias de la Region de Murcia. Recruiting at 1 site in Spain. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 70 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-03-30.

A multicenter, low-intervention, drug-based study to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a combined regimen of two intraperitoneal chemotherapy modalities (used in routine clinical practice) following interval surgery for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. This is an independent research project (free of commercial interests).
Based on the available evidence, an optimized protocol is proposed for the radical approach to primary advanced ovarian cancer with peritoneal dissemination (FIGO III/IV). After optimal interval surgery defined as CRS + HIPEC, bidirectional therapy (BIC) will be evaluated, reproducing the scheme studied by Armstrong 8 with the modifications and recommendations of GEICO (Spanish Ovarian Cancer Research Group) 18. A series of measures are proposed to minimize the risk of complications and toxicity related to intraperitoneal treatment. All of this, with the ultimate objective of maximizing the patient's disease-free survival.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.
Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Quality of life of the participants
To evaluate the Quality of Life parameters of patients before surgery, before the start of treatment and after its completion (3 and 6 months).

Started Feb 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2026, 36 months after the start.
Of 282 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Ovarian Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 46 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 76. This study's planned 36 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 293 studies reached it within 46 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 76.
