About this study

Official title: Longitudinal Metabolite Levels in Patients Receiving Maintenance PARP Inhibitors

This study evaluates blood samples and compares levels of metabolites (levels of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, etc., that are in the blood), before and after the plasma exchange in patients scheduled to receive immunotherapy for their ovarian cancer. The information gained from this study may help researchers better understand the side effects from each treatment and possibly lessen those side effects for future treatments.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine the extent to which PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment reduces systemic levels of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived cancer support factors in patients with cancer.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood samples prior to drug initiation, weekly thereafter for the first month of therapy, monthly for the first month, and at disease progression or after cessation of treatment to monitor for toxicity. Blood samples are analyzed. Patients' medical charts are also reviewed to determine outcomes after PARP inhibition.

Being tested
Biospecimen Collection, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Medical Chart Review
Medical subject headings
Ovarian Neoplasms

What is being measured

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

  1. Change of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived cancer support factors

    Levels of MSC-derived cancer support factors will be compared to baseline (i.e. pre-PARPi therapy) at each collection time point by Student's t test. In addition, outcomes by Cox proportional hazards will be compared between designated responders (i.e. patients whose MSC-derived cancer support factors decreased after PARP inhibition) and non-responders (i.e. patients whose MSC-derived cancer support factors did not decrease after PARP inhibition)

    Measured: At four weeks post PARP inhibitor treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression-free survival

    Stratified by extent of MSC-derived cancer support factor reduction. Will also compare levels at progression and/or after discontinuation of therapy.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Carcinoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2025. 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?

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?

Change of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived cancer support factors (time frame: At four weeks post PARP inhibitor treatment). 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 3 Apr 2025.
