Summary

This trial will test a treatment plan for advanced ovarian cancer patients. They will first receive a combination of drugs directly into the abdominal cavity and through the vein. Then, they will receive another treatment containing a

Who is the study for?
This trial is for advanced stage (III-IV) ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer patients who haven't had chemo before. They must be fit enough for surgery and chemotherapy without significant health issues like kidney damage or bowel obstruction. Women of childbearing age need a negative pregnancy test and must use birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests intensive chemoimmunotherapy with intraperitoneal Cisplatin and IV Paclitaxel followed by a chemokine modulatory regimen plus autologous αDC1 vaccines in patients receiving first-line neoadjuvant therapy to see if it improves treatment response.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those from Cisplatin such as nausea, kidney problems, hearing loss; Celecoxib may cause stomach upset or heart issues; the DC vaccine is known to be non-toxic but could potentially cause injection site reactions.
