Glycan Analysis in Diagnosing Cancer in Women With Ovarian Epithelial Cancer and in Healthy Female Participants
- Conditions
- Ovarian Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00628654
- Lead Sponsor
- University of California, Davis
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as glycan analysis, may be effective in finding ovarian epithelial cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well glycan analysis works in diagnosing cancer in women with ovarian epithelial cancer and in healthy female participants.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Evaluate the accuracy of glycan analysis to distinguish between normal healthy control female subjects and those with ovarian epithelial cancer.
Secondary
* Compare the new assay to the standard CA 125 for diagnostic accuracy.
OUTLINE:
* Ovarian cancer patients: Blood samples are obtained periodically for up to 2 years. Patients undergoing surgery have blood samples drawn before and after surgery. Medical charts are reviewed periodically for up to 3 years.
* Healthy volunteers: One blood sample is obtained. Volunteers also complete a 1-page questionnaire.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 healthy female participants and 400 patients will be accrued for this study.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Accuracy of glycan analysis one time for healthy volunteers; up to 2 years for patients with cancer For healthy controls, a single sample will be obtained. For patients scheduled for surgery, two samples will be obtained: one preoperatively and one postoperatively. Ovarian cancer patients who agree to participate in the longitudinal study will have follow-up serum samples drawn periodically during chemotherapy treatments and then during surveillance visits, to correspond with routine blood testing for CA 125. They will be asked to participate for 2 years, with a maximum of 8 blood draws per year (to be coordinated with other venipunctures, if possible).
