Where does OCRA's clinical trial data come from?

OCRA indexes clinical trials from ClinicalTrials.gov, the official U.S. registry maintained by the National Library of Medicine. Trials are matched to diseases, investigators, and funded research tracked across the platform.

How do I find clinical trials for ovarian cancer?

Search by condition, treatment type, trial phase, or NCT identifier. Each trial page shows current status, eligibility criteria, study locations, and a direct link to the ClinicalTrials.gov source record.

How often is clinical trial data updated?

Trial data is refreshed through periodic ingestion from the ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API. Status changes, new enrollments, and newly registered trials are captured during each update cycle.

Gene Therapy in Treating Patients With Advanced Recurrent or Persistent Ovarian Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

NCT00003450CompletedPHASE1INTERVENTIONAL

Summary

RATIONALE: Inserting the p53 gene into a person's cancer cells may improve the body's ability to fight cancer or make the cancer more sensitive to chemotherapy. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gene therapy using the p53 gene in treating patients with advanced recurrent or persistent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal cavity cancer.
