About this study

Official title: Clinical Protocol to Evaluate Glycans Analysis As a Diagnostic Test for Ovarian Cancer

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as glycan analysis, may be effective in finding ovarian epithelial cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well glycan analysis works in diagnosing cancer in women with ovarian epithelial cancer and in healthy female participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the accuracy of glycan analysis to distinguish between normal healthy control female subjects and those with ovarian epithelial cancer.

Secondary

  • Compare the new assay to the standard CA 125 for diagnostic accuracy.

OUTLINE:

  • Ovarian cancer patients: Blood samples are obtained periodically for up to 2 years. Patients undergoing surgery have blood samples drawn before and after surgery. Medical charts are reviewed periodically for up to 3 years.
  • Healthy volunteers: One blood sample is obtained. Volunteers also complete a 1-page questionnaire.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 healthy female participants and 400 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of glycan analysis

    For healthy controls, a single sample will be obtained. For patients scheduled for surgery, two samples will be obtained: one preoperatively and one postoperatively. Ovarian cancer patients who agree to participate in the longitudinal study will have follow-up serum samples drawn periodically during chemotherapy treatments and then during surveillance visits, to correspond with routine blood testing for CA 125. They will be asked to participate for 2 years, with a maximum of 8 blood draws per year (to be coordinated with other venipunctures, if possible).

    Measured: one time for healthy volunteers; up to 2 years for patients with cancer

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer, run by University of California, Davis 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2019. 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 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?

Accuracy of glycan analysis (time frame: one time for healthy volunteers; up to 2 years for patients with cancer). 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 4 Jan 2019.
