About this study

Official title: The Possible Influence of Different Follow-up Modalities on Overall Survival in Ovarian Cancer: A Multicenter Observational Cohort Study

The study is designed as an observational cohort study, aiming to evaluate, whether a structured recording of symptoms by a mobile app contributes insight in the follow-up modalities of ovarian cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

The observational study will examine different follow-up modalities for ovarian cancer patients with the ultimate goal of improving follow-up strategies for an improved well-being and better clinical outcomes. The primary objective is to quantify the effects of conservative clinical diagnostics by collecting symptoms via ePRO in addition to intensive diagnostics (CA-125 testing, imaging diagnostics) during follow-up, on survival, time to clinical recurrence and well-being.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival three years after end of therapy

    Overall survival three years after the end of primary therapy / start of follow-up

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Time to Recurrence

    Time to Recurrence

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Total number of tumor relapses

    Total number of tumor relapses occurring in the follow-up period

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Well-being

    Well-being according to the ECOG Performance Status

    GRADE ECOG PERFORMANCE STATUS 0 Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction

    1. Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work
    2. Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities; up and about more than 50% of waking hours
    3. Capable of only limited selfcare; confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours
    4. Completely disabled; cannot carry on any selfcare; totally confined to bed or chair
    5. Dead

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Amount and frequency of patient data entries

    Amount and frequency of patient data entries

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Platinum-sensitivity and the patients' platinum free interval (PFI)

    Platinum-sensitivity and the patients' platinum free interval (PFI)

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Number and type of unplanned hospitalizations and emergencies.

    Unplanned hospitalizations and emergencies are defined as additional consultations outside of planned therapy or control visits at the treatment center or with the investigator, as well as unplanned visits to other physicians (e.g., GP) or emergency services.

    Measured: 3 years

  7. Symptoms that led to further diagnostic measures and possibly the detection of tumor relapse

    Symptoms that led to further diagnostic measures (imaging diagnostics and CA-125 testing) and possibly the detection of tumor relapse

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patient Reported Outcome Measures and Ovarian Neoplasms, run by Stiftung Swiss Tumor Institute at 4 sites in Switzerland.

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 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Switzerland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Accrual rate fell far below needed accrual rate.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall survival three years after end of therapy (time frame: 3 years). 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 22 Apr 2024.
