ASA in Prevention of Ovarian Cancer (STICs and STONEs)

A Randomized Phase II Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Acetylsalicylic Acid (ASA) in Prevention of Ovarian Cancer in Women With BRCA 1/2 Mutations (STICs and STONEs)

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Sept 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

While ASA is not a cancer medication, research suggests that taking ASA reduces the probability of getting many types of cancer because of its anti-inflammatory action. Inflammation in the ovaries during ovulation is thought to contribute to the development of ovarian cancer, and, because ASA is an anti-inflammatory medication, it may help to prevent it.
