Trial summary

Improving current strategies for detection of early stage disease can impact favorably on long-term survival of women with ovarian cancer. To reduce the morbidity and mortality of ovarian cancer, screening for this disease must detect early stage disease rather than advanced stage disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Improving current strategies for detection of early stage disease can impact favorably on long-term survival of women with ovarian cancer. To reduce the morbidity and mortality of ovarian cancer, screening for this disease must detect early stage disease rather than advanced stage disease. Thus the challenge for the future is to identify and develop highly sensitive and specific tumor markers that can be applied to population-based screening for the early detection of ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

The aim of NYU Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Program is to establish an effective, early detection program employing state-of-the-art science and technology in collaboration with other nationally recognized clinicians and scientists.

This proposed research study will foster collaboration between clinicians and scientists that will facilitate the rapid identification of a set of molecular, biochemical, functional, and genetic markers which can be employed to effectively detect and manage ovarian cancer and other gynecological malignancies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2011. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: insufficient funding and resource). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

identification and development of highly sensitive and specific tumor markers for ovarian cancer (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jan 2011.
