About this study

Official title: Validation of Tumor-Infiltrating T-Cells as a Biomarker for Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients who have undergone surgery for advanced stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how tumor infiltrating T cells can predict how patients will respond to treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To validate the ability of intratumoral tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) to predict progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with suboptimally debulked advanced stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer.

II. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict PFS in patients with optimally debulked disease.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict overall survival of patients with suboptimally debulked disease.

II. To validate the ability of intratumoral TILs to predict overall survival of patients with optimally debulked disease.

OUTLINE:

Patients are stratified according to status of debulked disease (suboptimal vs optimal).

Previously collected tumor tissue samples are analyzed for tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) via immunohistochemistry and double immunofluorescence assays using standard immunostaining.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival curves

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the survival curves, and the log-rank test will be used to test the difference between survival curves for TIL positive and negative patients. All of the tests will be two-sided and the significant levels will be set a 0.05.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Progression-free survival curves

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the survival curves, and the log-rank test will be used to test the difference between survival curves for TIL positive and negative patients. All of the tests will be two-sided and the significant levels will be set a 0.05.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stage IIIA Ovarian Cancer and Stage IIIB Ovarian Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group 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 7 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 May 2017. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall survival curves (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 May 2017.
