Characterizing ovarian cancer patients based on genetic factors

Official title: Characterization of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients in Terms of Homologous Recombination Phenotype - A Prospective Observational Study

Run by Nordic Society of Gynaecological Oncology - Clinical Trials Unit · NCT05574673 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at how genetic factors affect the treatment responses of women with ovarian cancer to see if they respond differently to standard chemotherapy over time.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include women aged 18 and older with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer at FIGO stage I-II with BRCA1/2 mutations or stage III-IV of any histology.

Probably not a fit

Patients with non-epithelial ovarian cancer, borderline tumors, or those with FIGO stage I-II BRCA wild-type ovarian cancer may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to analyze a large cohort of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who are receiving standard care treatment. It focuses on the distribution of patients based on their BRCA1/2 and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) status. The study is divided into two observational periods: the first assesses patient responses to first-line chemotherapy, while the second characterizes long-term and short-term responders over a maximum of 36 months. Clinical samples will also be collected for further analysis.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of ovarian cancer responses to treatment based on genetic profiles, leading to more personalized therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies focusing on genetic profiling in ovarian cancer have shown promising results, indicating that this approach is both relevant and potentially impactful.
