About this study

Official title: Ovarian Cancer Early Detection Screening Program

The main purpose of this program is to see whether periodically measuring CA-125 (tumor marker) levels in the blood and undergoing transvaginal ultrasounds over time will be effective in the early detection of ovarian cancer.

Read the detailed description

The program will offer twice yearly CA-125 blood tests and annual transvaginal ultrasounds to monitor women at high risk for ovarian cancer. In addition to the main purpose of providing ovarian cancer screening, the researchers would also like to build a repository of blood specimens for use in ovarian and breast cancer research and to offer genetics counseling sessions to help educate women about risk-reducing options.

Being tested
Laboratory Tumor Marker Analysis, Transvaginal Ultrasound, Health Status Questionnaire
Keywords
Women with increased risk for developing ovarian cancer, Women diagnosed with reproductive cancer, Women with relatives who have had ovarian or breast cancer
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Laboratory Tumor Marker AnalysisOther

    Performed every 6 months, these blood samples will be drawn to measure the concentration of CA125 tumor marker. Remaining samples will be stored in a specimen repository for use in future research for ovarian and breast cancer tumor markers.

  • Transvaginal UltrasoundOther

    Performed annually, these pelvic ultrasounds will be used used to look for 1) enlargement of one or both ovaries or 2) suspicious or indeterminate morphometric parameters, determined by the presence of intracystic papillations, and/or mural nodularity.

  • Health Status QuestionnaireOther

    Performed every 6 months, these questionnaires will ask about your health and medical history, environmental exposures, and family history.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measuring for elevated levels of tumor marker CA-125 in the blood over time.

    Measured: Average expected time of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Performing transvaginal ultrasounds to look for any abnormalities over time.

    Criteria for an abnormal scan include 1) enlargement of one or both ovaries or 2) suspicious or indeterminate morphometric parameters, determined by the presence of intracystic papillations, and/or mural nodularity. Volume calculations will determine whether the ovary is enlarged.

    Measured: Average expected time of 1 year

  2. Performing health status questionnaires over time

    Measured: Average expected time of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Laboratory Tumor Marker Analysis, Transvaginal Ultrasound and Health Status Questionnaire in people with Ovarian Diseases and Ovarian Neoplasms, run by Swedish Medical Center 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 20 Jan 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Closed per local IRB due to advancements in standard ovarian cancer screening.). 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?

Measuring for elevated levels of tumor marker CA-125 in the blood over time. (time frame: Average expected time of 1 year). 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 20 Jan 2016.
