Combined Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Regimen After Optimal Interval Surgery in Advanced Ovarian Cancer: BICOV-1 (Bidirectional Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer) (BICOV)

March 28, 2025 updated by: Fundacion para la Formacion e Investigacion Sanitarias de la Region de Murcia
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).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

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.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
