Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Plasmodium immunotherapy group
This is a single arm study that is planed to enroll 30 patients with advanced ovarian cancer and each patient will be inoculated with P.vivax-infected red blood cells containing approximately 1-5 × 10^6 Plasmodium parasites. And successful infection will be indicated by microscopic observation of parasitemia in peripheral blood samples. The treatment will last 6 weeks from the day of successful infection and will be terminated by antimalarial drugs.
