Summary

This trial is studying how a drug affects the DNA of patients with advanced ovarian cancer to see if it can help doctors plan more effective treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women with advanced high-grade ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who haven't had prior treatment for these conditions. Participants must be able to swallow pills, use effective contraception if of childbearing potential, and have no gastrointestinal issues affecting medication absorption. They should understand the study and consent to it, meet certain health criteria including an ECOG status of 0 or 1, and be scheduled for surgery within a specific timeframe.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing how adavosertib affects tumor DNA in patients undergoing surgery for aggressive cancers of the ovary, fallopian tube, or peritoneum. It's an early phase I pilot study aimed at understanding DNA characteristics that influence treatment response to help plan better therapies.
What are the potential side effects?
While not explicitly listed in the provided information, side effects from adavosertib may include nausea, fatigue, blood count changes (like low white blood cells), diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms based on similar medications' profiles.
