NCT01826227

Who might be able to join this trial:

• You have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer (confirmed by laboratory testing), not including low-risk/borderline tumors — all stages, grades, and types are considered
• This is your first time the cancer has come back after treatment
• Your cancer came back at least 6 months after your last platinum-based chemotherapy ended (known as being "platinum sensitive")
• A PET scan or CT scan has shown signs that the cancer has returned
• Your doctor is planning open abdominal surgery (laparotomy) to remove as much of the cancer as possible
• You are older than 18 years of age

Who may not be able to join:

• Your planned surgery would use a laparoscope or robotic-assisted laparoscope (keyhole surgery) rather than open abdominal surgery
• Your tumor is classified as "low malignant potential" (a borderline or low-risk tumor)
• Your cancer has come back more than once before
• You have had, or currently have, another serious cancer (other than certain common skin cancers) within the last 5 years
• You currently have an active infection that requires antibiotics given through an IV or injection
• If you have diabetes, your blood sugar level must be below 200 when tested before the operation in order to participate
