HE4 as a Relapse Biomarker in Ovarian Cancers

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Ovarian Carcinoma
Interventions
Other: Experimental arm
Registration Number
NCT02595281
Lead Sponsor
Institut de Cancérologie de Lorraine
Brief Summary

HE4 is a more sensitive marker than CA-125 in patients with ovarian cancers. The interest of serum HE4 before surgery has been demonstrated to predict overall survival and its interest has also been shown in combination with CA-125 (ROMA algorithm) to identify high risk patients. To date, no study shows clearly the predictive potential of serum HE4 as an early relapse biomarker in ovarian cancers.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the predictive and prognostic value of HE4 marker24 months

Serum concentration of HE4 (pMol) will be analysed at each visit

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluate the quality of surgery24 months

HE4 and CA125 will be compared with completeness of cancer resection score (CCR score).

Compare the evolution of HE4 and CA-125 serum concentration24 months

Serum concentration of HE4 and CA-125 (pMol) will be analysed and compared at the time of diagnosis, at each neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycle, before the surgery, and at each chemotherapy cycle

Evaluate the progression-free survival at 18 months24 months

HE4 and CA125 will be compared with the rate of progression-free survival
