Study Summary

This trial is testing how well a serum made from cow immunoglobulin proteins may improve quality of life and post-operative recovery for patients with cancer of the female reproductive tract.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who have had recent surgery for gynecological cancer and are able to eat orally. They must not be pregnant, should have a stable blood count, and no severe kidney issues. Participants need to be able to fill out questionnaires and provide blood samples for research.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if serum bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate can improve recovery and quality of life after surgery in patients with gynecological cancer compared to a placebo. It involves taking the supplement, monitoring through biomarkers, assessing quality of life, and completing questionnaires.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions in those sensitive to beef products since the treatment is derived from bovine (cow) serum proteins.
