About this study

Official title: Paired Biopsies to Develop a Cellular Signature

This is a research study to look at differences in tumor tissue from ovarian cancer patients that may help to determine response and resistance to treatments.

Read the detailed description

Ovarian cancer participants will be asked to have two tumor biopsies during the research study. The first biopsy will be done prior to receiving the participants' assigned treatments as a part of their cancer care and the second biopsy will be done about 3-7 days after starting treatment. Participants who will undergo neoadjuvant treatment and then surgery, will also have their tumor tissue collected during surgery. Participants whose disease worsens while on treatment will also be asked to have an additional, optional tumor biopsy.

The tumor tissue samples will be studied to look at certain proteins and enzymes, including enzymes called kinomes, that may be important in determining response and resistance to the treatment that participants will receive as a part of their cancer care.

Being tested
Blood Draw, Tumor Tissue Biopsy
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Ovarian Epithelial

What participants receive

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

  • Blood DrawProcedure or surgery

    CA125 and ctDNA

  • Tumor Tissue BiopsyProcedure or surgery

    Only collected at time of surgery if patient undergoes surgical debulking

Study groups in NCT02952521
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Epithelial ovarian cancer* Whole blood sample collection * Up to 3 fresh tumor tissue core biopsies * Tumor tissue sample taken from tumor tissue already removed from surgery (if surgery is planned)
Receives: Procedure: Blood Draw; Procedure: Tumor Tissue Biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Pearson correlation for changes between kinome and CA125

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Paired T-test for differences in kinome between responders and non-responders

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Epithelial 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 8 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 10 May 2022. 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 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?

Pearson correlation for changes between kinome and CA125 (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
