Официальное название

Inhibiting Beta-adrenergic and COX-2 Signaling During the Perioperative Period to Reduce Ovarian Cancer Progression: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial

Обзор

This study investigates the impact of perioperative inhibition of beta-adrenergic and COX-2 signaling in ovarian cancer patients undergoing debulking surgery. The trial aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and biological effects of a combination of propranolol and etodolac in reducing cancer metastasis and improving immune responses.

Подробное описание

The study is a placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial (RCT) enrolling 60 women undergoing ovarian cancer debulking surgery. Participants will be assigned to receive propranolol (starting 5 days preoperatively, increased on the day of surgery, and continued postoperatively) and etodolac at a fixed dose. The primary outcomes include recruitment rate, drug safety, tolerability, adherence, and molecular tumor and blood characteristics. Secondary outcomes include 3-year recurrence rates.
