Trial summary

BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. With the rapid advancement of therapeutics targeted this population, this protocol seeks to provide genetic BRCA1/2 screening to all patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. This information may help in selection of future treatment options and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 may be used to potentially prevent a proportion of cancer for the family members.

This study will be an opportunity for patient to improve access at genetic and molecular testing for BRCA1/2 mutation which could impact her future treatment option. Moreover, this study will allow to prospectively assess the proportion of patients with BRCA mutation in ovarian cancer and describe the type of mutations identified in a large population.

Primary Objectives

  • To provide genomic profiling for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutational status in patients' with high grade serous ovarian cancer.

Secondary Objectives

  • To track the number of women with high grade serous ovarian cancer who are being screened in Princess Margaret Cancer Center for mutations in BRCA1/2
  • To track accrual rates and clinical outcomes in patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer who are BRCA1/2-positive
  • To correlate impact of BRCA1/2 mutational status on clinical outcome
  • To track utilization of genetic counseling services at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre

What participants receive

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

  • BRCA genetic dataGenetic

    Two blood samples will be taken which is part of the standard of care. Tumor samples will be obtained from previous biopsy or surgery prior to this study for DNA testing

What is being measured

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

  1. genomic profiling for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutational status in patients' with high grade serous ovarian cancer.

    participants will also be followed for all treatments and responses until death

    Measured: upon availability of genetic consultation report min 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 27 Jul 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 Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: This study did not collect sufficient data for primary endpoint analysis.). 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?

genomic profiling for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutational status in patients' with high grade serous ovarian cancer. (time frame: upon availability of genetic consultation report min 6 weeks). 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 27 Jul 2023.
