Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials Resources presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for proven health advice, calls or treatment with a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always consult your doctor on Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer Clinical research trials and Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer healthcare trials take place in a lot of of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectiveness of new does drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to figure out specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer. Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to access health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the subjects receive professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer clinical trial. Human subjects often obtain the finest healthcare possible for their Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent dr. calls, health hazards (potentially life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer



Screening Study of Surgery and CA 125 Levels in Participants at Increased Genetic Risk of Ovarian Cancer

For Condition: ovarian epithelial cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Gynecologic Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Surgery to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries may decrease the risk of ovarian cancer and may improve quality of life in women who are at increased genetic risk. Monitoring CA 125 levels may help doctors detect cancer cells early and plan more effective treatment for ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: Screeningtrial to study the effectiveness of surgery to remove the fallopian tubes and ovaries combined with monitoring of CA 125 levels in participants who are at increased genetic risk for ovarian cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the prospective incidence of ovarian cancer, breast cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and all cancer in participants at increased genetic risk of ovarian cancer who undergo risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) or CA 125 screening. - Determine the prevalence of clinically occult ovarian cancer and fallopian tube cancer and precursor lesions in participants who undergo RRSO. - Determine the positive predictive value and specificity of the Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm (ROCA) based on serial CA 125 measurements for ovarian cancer in participants who do not undergo RRSO. - Compare quality of life, sexual functioning, frequency of menopausal symptoms, depression, anxiety, cancer worry, and concerns associated with familial risk of ovarian cancer in participants who undergo RRSO vs screening. - Compare changes in these quality of life parameters over time in these participants. - Determine patterns of use of medications (e.g., tamoxifen, raloxifene, estrogen or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT), alendronate, or vaginal estrogens) that may alter the risk of important medical outcomes (e.g., cancer endpoints or estrogen deficiency disorders) in these participants. - Monitor overall mortality and the incidence of various disease states that complicate long-term estrogen deficiency (e.g., osteoporosis, skeletal fractures, coronary artery disease, or myocardial infarction) in these participants. - Monitor these participants' and their health care providers' adherence to recommendations regarding the management of non-oncologic morbidity related to premature menopause. - Analyze the factors (regarding cancer risk reduction and screening activities) that influence a woman's choice between RRSO vs screening. - Establish normal ranges and distributions within and between high-risk participants for CA 125 values over time, with sub-classification by pre/postmenopausal status, HRT usage, RRSO status, and other risk factors. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Participants choose 1 of 2 screening/prevention groups. - Group I (screening): Participants undergo genetic risk, medical and ovarian cancer risk factor, and quality of life (QOL) assessment; transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS); and CA 125 measurement. CA 125 is measured every 3 months and the Risk of Ovarian Cancer Algorithm (ROCA) is determined. QOL is assessed every 6 months. TVUS is repeated annually (unless ovaries have been removed) as is a mammogram. If screening tests are abnormal, TVUS may be repeated and laparotomy/laparoscopy may be performed if a malignancy is suspected or a benign finding requires surgery. - Group II (risk-reducing surgery): Participants undergo genetic risk, medical and ovarian cancer risk factor, and QOL assessment; TVUS; and CA 125 measurement. Participants then undergo risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). CA 125 is measured and ROCA calculated every 3 months. QOL is assessed every 6 months and a mammogram is performed annually. Abnormal screening results are treated as in group I. Participants in group I who decide to undergo RRSO may cross-over to group II at any time. QOL is assessed in both groups every 6 months for 3 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 1,800 participants (800 for group I and 1,000 for group II) will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
