Trial summary

The purpose of the research is to determine if blood tests and a CT scan done before surgery can predict how successful the surgery will be. In patients who have cancer of the ovary that has spread, it is hoped that the CT scan will be able to identify the various places where the cancer has spread so that additional… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multicenter Trial on Utility and Impact of Computed Tomography and Serum CA-125 in Management of Newly Diagnosed Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of the research is to determine if blood tests and a CT scan done before surgery can predict how successful the surgery will be. In patients who have cancer of the ovary that has spread, it is hoped that the CT scan will be able to identify the various places where the cancer has spread so that additional surgeons can be available to help with the surgical procedure.

If you have confirmed stage 3 or 4 ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, you may undergo a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis after the surgery to compare how much cancer the surgeon thought was left after surgery to what is seen on CT scan. A CT scan of the chest will be done if your physician thinks it is necessary.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to assess the utility and impact of computed tomography (CT)scanning of the abdomen and pelvis and preoperative serum CA-125 levels in the management of patients undergoing surgery for presumed ovarian cancer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CA 125 and CT scanOther

    Within 14 days prior to surgery serum for CA125 will be obtained. The patient will also undergo a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with oral and intravenous contrast within 35 days prior to the procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the efficacy of preoperative CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis in predicting optimal primary cytoreduction in advanced ovarian cancer.

    Measured: 7 - 35 days postop stage 3 or 4 disease CTscan have

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To evaluate the ability of preoperative serum CA-125 to predict optimal primary cytoreduction of advanced ovarian cancer.

    Measured: Within 14 days prior to surgery

  2. To develop preoperative CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis and/or tumor marker criteria for ovarian cancer non-resectability (sub-optimal tumor cytoreduction).

    Measured: 3 years

  3. To determine the ability of preoperative CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis to provide useful information that will impact on surgical planning.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. To compare the intraoperative assessment of residual disease to that found on postoperative CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, if scans are available for review.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CA 125 and CT scan in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 5 sites 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

To assess the efficacy of preoperative CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis in predicting optimal primary cytoreduction in advanced ovarian cancer. (time frame: 7 - 35 days postop stage 3 or 4 disease CTscan have). 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 22 Feb 2018.
