Summary
This trial is testing whether aspirin can decrease markers of immune suppression in ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18+ with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal carcinoma who haven't started treatment. They must be able to read English/Spanish (U.S.) or English/French (Canada), have a certain disease severity and type, plan to undergo specific chemotherapy followed by surgery, and meet health criteria like blood counts and organ function.
What is being tested?
The study tests if aspirin can boost the immune system's response to tumors when given with standard chemo before surgery in patients with certain types of female reproductive cancers. Participants will either receive aspirin or a placebo alongside their chemotherapy regimen.
What are the potential side effects?
Aspirin may cause risks such as bleeding issues, digestive tract irritation like ulcers, allergic reactions in those sensitive to NSAIDs, and potential complications for those with clotting disorders or severe liver/renal conditions.
