What participants receive

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

  • genetic counselingBehavioural

    The genetic counseling sessions are conducted by a licensed genetic counselor, certified by the American Board of Genetic Counseling and the American Board of Medical Genetics. This clinical counseling session may include, but is not limited to the following:

    1. A review of medical and family history information to determine which genetic test (BRCA, HNPCC, p53, etc.), if any, is appropriate;
    2. Discuss how the results - positive or negative - affect cancer risk
    3. Discuss how cancer risk might be managed (surveillance, prophylactic surgery, oral contraceptives, etc.);
    4. Discuss how the test is conducted and what the results might be (positive, negative, uncertain);
    5. Discuss the disadvantages of genetic testing (cost, insurance coverage, worry about insurance discrimination, uncertain results, etc.) and the psychological and emotional issues surrounding testing, etc.

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare rates of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in each of the study arms

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cancer related distress

    Measured: change from baseline at 12 and 24 months post-enrollment

  2. Health-related quality of life

    Measured: change from baseline at 12 and 24 months post-enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing genetic counseling in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer 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 15 inclusion and 3 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 28 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.

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?

Compare rates of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in each of the study arms (time frame: 24 months post-enrollment). 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 28 Jan 2016.
