About this study

Official title: Lavage of the Uterine Cavity for Diagnosis of Ovarian Carcinomas

The goal of this project is to develop a minimally invasive test to detect ovarian cancer, by searching for mutations from the tumor in samples obtained from the cervix (Pap smears), and from the uterus (uterine lavage) in participants with advanced ovarian cancer and in participants with increased risk of ovarian cancer due to inherited mutations, such as BRCA or BRCA2 (among others).

Pap smear and uterine lavage samples will be collected while the participant is under anesthesia for planned debulking surgery. A novel, highly sensitive and accurate technique, Crispr-Duplex sequencing, will be used to detect tumor associated mutations in TP53 (the most commonly mutated gene in ovarian cancer) within these samples. These results will be compared to sequencing results in the tumor itself for comparison, and Pap and uterine lavage will be compared to each other to determine the optimal test. Ultimately, the goal is to use the results of this study to plan a larger study including women without cancer who are at either increased risk or normal risk of ovarian cancer, for use in early detection.

OUTLINE:

Participants undergo pap smear, uterine lavage, and collection of tumor sample during a planned surgery. DNA is then extracted from the samples and sequenced for TP53 mutations using Crispr-Duplex sequencing.

Being tested
Biospecimen Collection, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Lavage, Pap Smear
Medical subject headings
Ovarian Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. 20 Ovarian Cancer Participants With Detection of Associated TP53 Mutation in Uterine Lavage

    In participants with ovarian cancer, we compared the detection of TP53 mutations in the uterine lavage specimen compared to the ovarian cancer.

    Measured: A single point in time after sample collection, no follow-up of participants is done

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biospecimen Collection, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis and Lavage in people with High Grade Ovarian Serous Adenocarcinoma and Stage III Ovarian Cancer AJCC v8, run by University of Washington 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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

20 Ovarian Cancer Participants With Detection of Associated TP53 Mutation in Uterine Lavage (time frame: A single point in time after sample collection, no follow-up of participants is done). 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 17 Jan 2024.
