Official title: Efficacy and Safety of FRD001 Injection in Ultrasound Contrast Imaging for the Differential Diagnosis of Benign and Malignant Ovarian Masses in Women
Run by Tongji Hospital · NCT06556342 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if an injection called FRD001 can make ultrasound imaging better at telling the difference between harmless and cancerous ovarian growths in women.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 75 with untreated ovarian masses who meet specific health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with benign ovarian masses or those who do not meet the health criteria for participation 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 clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of FRD001 injection in enhancing ultrasound contrast imaging for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian masses in women. Participants will first undergo standard gray-scale and power Doppler ultrasound imaging, followed by FRD001 injection-enhanced imaging. The study is designed as a prospective, self-controlled, open-label, multicenter trial, with an expected sample size of 178 cases. The trial hypothesizes that the sensitivity of the enhanced imaging will significantly improve compared to standard methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate differentiation of malignant ovarian masses, improving patient outcomes and treatment decisions.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing imaging techniques for cancer detection.
