About this study

Official title: Integration of Radiomic Analysis Into the Multi-Modal Profiling of High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the researchers can combine information provided by PET/MRI scans with information from tests on blood and tissue samples to develop a very detailed description (profile) of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), which could improve our ability to treat this disease.

The study researchers will use computers to analyze the combined results of the imaging tests and the genetic and immune system tests on the tumor samples. The study researchers think that this information will help them more accurately predict the way tumors respond to treatment, which may improve their ability to individualize treatments for this disease.

What participants receive

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

  • PET/MRIDiagnostic test

    Imaging will include research PET/MRI of pelvis within 30 days of multiregion tissue collection.For research PET/MRI - standard volumes of gadolinium contrast and fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) will be administered.

  • Contrast enhanced CTDiagnostic test

    Standard of care contrast enhanced CT

Study groups in NCT04454450
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Imaged prior to primary debulking surgeryExperimentalImaging will include research PET/MRI of pelvis within 30 days of multiregion tissue collection. Concretely, in patients triaged to primary debulking surgery (PDS), PET/MRI will be obtained within 30 days preceding multi-region tissue collection at the time of PDS (already being done under IRB# 06-107).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: PET/MRI; Diagnostic Test: Contrast enhanced CT
Imaged pre/postneoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT)ExperimentalIn patients triaged to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and interval debulking surgery (IDS), PET/MRI will be obtained at two time points, i.e. first within 30 days preceding NACT/ multi-region laparoscopic tissue sampling (already being done under IRB# 06-107) and, second, any time after completion of NACT and before multi-region tissue collection at the time of interval debulking surgery (already being done under IRB# 06-107).
Receives: Diagnostic Test: PET/MRI; Diagnostic Test: Contrast enhanced CT

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison between radiologist tumor segmentation

    Radiologist-defined tumor volumes will be used to train and validate a machine learning algorithm for generating segmentations. The data will be split into 70%-30% of training and test sets, respectively. The comparisons will be performed on a slice-by-slice and lesion-bylesion basis, which should ensure sufficient numbers of examples for testing.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PET/MRI and Contrast enhanced CT in people with Ovarian Cancer and High Grade Ovarian Serous, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 6 inclusion and 13 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Comparison between radiologist tumor segmentation (time frame: 1 year). 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 2 Jun 2026.
