About this study

Official title: LAPAROSCOPIC STAGING IN PATIENTS WITH INCOMPLETELY STAGED CANCERS OF THE OVARY

RATIONALE: Laparoscopic staging may help doctors plan more effective treatment for ovarian, primary fallopian tube, and primary abdominal cancers.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of laparoscopic staging in patients with ovarian, primary fallopian tube, or primary abdominal cancers who have not undergone complete staging.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the feasibility of laparoscopic staging of patients with incompletely staged ovarian, primary fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers. II. Assess the adverse effects associated with this technique.

OUTLINE: Surgery. Laparoscopy with cytologic examination and lymph node sampling followed, if feasible, by surgical resection.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Up to 50 patients will be accrued over approximately 2 years. If more than 4 evaluable patients cannot complete surgery, the study will be closed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing laparoscopic surgery in people with Fallopian Tube Cancer and Ovarian Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group at 11 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002538, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2013.
