Detecting gene mutations in blood from ovarian cancer patients on PARP inhibitor therapy

Official title: Detection of Homologous Recombination Pathway Gene Mutations in Circulating Tumour DNA From BRCA-mutated Ovarian Cancer Patients Receiving First-line PARP Inhibitor Maintenance Therapy

Run by Institut Claudius Regaud · NCT06588322 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if checking blood for specific gene changes in ovarian cancer patients on a treatment called Olaparib can help doctors catch problems early and improve their care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients with epithelial ovarian cancer who have a confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and are about to start first-line maintenance treatment with Olaparib.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other active cancers, those already receiving Olaparib, or those unable to comply with study procedures may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional study aims to identify BRCA1/2 reversion mutations in circulating tumor DNA from patients with ovarian cancer who are receiving first-line maintenance therapy with the PARP inhibitor Olaparib, either alone or in combination with bevacizumab. A total of 130 patients will provide blood samples at multiple time points over a 24-month treatment period to monitor for disease progression. The study seeks to demonstrate that early detection of these mutations can lead to timely interventions and improved patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enable earlier identification of disease progression in ovarian cancer patients, potentially leading to more effective treatment strategies.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using circulating tumor DNA for mutation detection is gaining traction, this specific study's focus on BRCA reversion mutations in the context of PARP inhibitor therapy is relatively novel.
