Gleolan for Ovarian Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
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.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires participants to stop using certain phototoxic substances (medications that make the skin sensitive to light) like St. John's wort and some antibiotics for 24 hours during the perioperative period (around the time of surgery). Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the study team.
