About this study

Official title: A Multi-center Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FolateScan (Technetium Tc 99m EC20) in Women With Suspected Ovarian or Endometrial Cancer

A Multi-Center Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of FolateScan (Technetium Tc 99m EC20) in Women with Suspected Ovarian or Endometrial Cancer.

Phase I - The proposed indication for FolateScan is disease or pathological assessment of ovarian or endometrial masses.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed to verify product safety, determine optimal imaging time, gather efficacy data for the radioactive drug product (Technetium Tc 99m EC20), and assay masses for presence of folate receptors, in women with suspected ovarian or endometrial cancer. Twelve subjects will be enrolled, with a minimum of five malignant cases, as determined by histopathological evaluation.

Women with a suspected ovarian or endometrial mass who either 1) have fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sample(s) available for immunohistochemical staining obtained from a previous pathological evaluation or 2) are scheduled for a procedure to obtain tissue for pathological evaluation that can be fixed and paraffin embedded for immunohistochemical staining are eligible for this study. The ovarian mass may be either an initial finding, e.g., found at a routine pelvic examination or to investigate symptoms, or the ovarian or endometrial mass may be a finding suspicious of recurrent or residual tumor at follow-up examination after surgical resection of confirmed ovarian or endometrial cancer. Patients may not be pregnant or breastfeeding at enrollment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tc 99m EC20 in people with Ovarian Cancer and Endometrial Cancer, run by Endocyte 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 6 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 Jun 2023. 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?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 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.

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 Jun 2023.
