About this study
This is a prospective study investigating whether the research on Fasudil Hydrochloride in the treatment of gene-specific ovarian cancer can be applied to predict sensitivity to immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other tumors. The study plans to enroll 20 patients with A/A genotype ovarian cancer for treatment evaluation.
Read the detailed description
Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological malignancy with the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. The poor prognosis and low survival rate in advanced-stage patients primarily contribute to its high mortality. Current clinical management of malignant ovarian tumors relies on postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which impose significant harm to the human body and offer limited improvement in patient prognosis. Additionally, the diagnostic and therapeutic cycle for malignant ovarian cancer is prolonged and unpredictable, predominantly focusing on post-surgical interventions.
In our preliminary studies, we identified that the A allele of SNP-rs1192691, associated with ovarian cancer prognosis, promotes ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion by activating the Rho signaling pathway. The Rho signaling pathway inhibitor Fasudil has been shown to effectively suppress the proliferation and invasion of A/A genotype tumor cells in murine models. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of Fasudil in A/A genotype ovarian cancer patients through clinical trials, with the goal of improving their prognosis.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: Fasudil Hydrochloride | Experimental | The specific method is as follows: (1) Administer the standard treatment plan combined with intravenous injection of Fasudil 30mg/2-3 times/day to the enrolled ovarian cancer patients, with the same duration of use as the standard treatment plan. (2) Observe the treatment effect of patients after 2-3 treatment cycles, with the main endpoint being the objective response rate (ORR) and the safety of drug use.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Fasudil Hydrochloride in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yang Liu, M.D. (13666601475, yangliuqq2003@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
ORR (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06890858, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Mar 2025.
