What this study is testing
What is Gleolan?
Gleolan is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for ovarian cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This Phase 3 study is designed to investigate the safety, diagnostic performance, and clinical usefulness of Gleolan for the real-time detection and visualization of epithelial ovarian cancer tumors during debulking surgery. The study is planned to run for about 18 months with individual study participation lasting about two (2) weeks.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Time commitment: about 18 months
