Metabolite Levels in Ovarian Cancer Patients Receiving Maintenance PARP Inhibitors

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Ovarian Carcinoma
Interventions
Procedure: Biospecimen Collection
Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Other: Medical Chart Review
Registration Number
NCT04917744
Lead Sponsor
Mayo Clinic
Brief Summary

This study evaluates blood samples and compares levels of metabolites (levels of vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins, etc., that are in the blood), before and after the plasma exchange in patients scheduled to receive immunotherapy for their ovarian cancer. The information gained from this study may help researchers better understand the side effects from each treatment and possibly lessen those side effects for future treatments.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the extent to which PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment reduces systemic levels of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived cancer support factors in patients with cancer.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood samples prior to drug initiation, weekly thereafter for the first month of therapy, monthly for the first month, and at disease progression or after cessation of treatment to monitor for toxicity. Blood samples are analyzed. Patients' medical charts are also reviewed to determine outcomes after PARP inhibition.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived cancer support factorsAt four weeks post PARP inhibitor treatment

Levels of MSC-derived cancer support factors will be compared to baseline (i.e. pre-PARPi therapy) at each collection time point by Student's t test. In addition, outcomes by Cox proportional hazards will be compared between designated responders (i.e. patients whose MSC-derived cancer support factors decreased after PARP inhibition) and non-responders (i.e. patients whose MSC-derived cancer support factors did not decrease after PARP inhibition)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survivalUp to 2 years

Stratified by extent of MSC-derived cancer support factor reduction. Will also compare levels at progression and/or after discontinuation of therapy.
