Study groups in NCT02800031
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ParticipantsExperimental* Level-II Transvaginal ultrasonography will be done by the principle investigator (who is unaware about the recognition pattern method) to confirm the presence of the ovarian mass and measure its size and to apply the IOTA simple rules on it (complimentary transabdominal ultrasound might be done for huge pelvi-abdominal masses originating from the ovary). * Level-III ultrasound will be done by expert ultrasound operator (who is blinded to the results of IOTA simple rules assessment of the examined mass) to classify the mass (either benign or malignant) using the pattern recognition method. * Plan of management for each patient will be based solely on the findings of pattern recognition and the patient's wishes. * Exploratory laparotomy for excision of the ovarian mass either by ovarian Cystectomy or oophorectomy. * All specimens will be examined histopathologically.
Receives: Device: Transvaginal ultrasonography

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transvaginal ultrasonography in people with Gynecology, run by Woman's Health University Hospital, Egypt at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 8 Jan 2019. 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 Egypt. 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?

comparing the sensitivity of the IOTA versus the Pattern recognition in diagnosing the different types of ovarian masses (time frame: 12 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02800031, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Jan 2019.
