About this study

Official title: The Elizabeth Registry for Low Grade Ovarian Cancer

Long-Term Objectives:

  • To establish an ongoing national research registry of epidemiologic, clinical and pathologic data on low grade and low malignant potential (LMP) ovarian cancer patients in UTMDACC's Department of Gynecologic Oncology for research purposes.
  • To create a bank of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer tumor blocks for study of the molecular and histopathologic differences among low grade ovarian cancer, ovarian LMP tumors and high grade ovarian cancer.
  • To specify the epidemiologic and clinical profile of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer patients.
  • To identify potential precursors of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer.
  • To assess treatment patterns to guide management of these diseases.
  • To collect quality of life and health outcomes data on these patients.
  • To achieve a fundamental understanding of low grade and LMP ovarian cancer that will inform prevention and screening efforts, motivate development of improved treatments and eventually result in a cure.

The short-term objectives are:

  • To detail procedures for potential registrant identification and recruitment.
  • To create a demographic and health history questionnaire for potential registrants.
  • To begin aggregating low grade and low malignant potential ovarian tumor blocks.
  • To specify a timeline for the development of all other aspects of the Registry.
Read the detailed description

The Registry will be an ongoing research registry that will include patients who have been diagnosed with low grade ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube or low malignant potential (LMP) ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer.

In order to enroll in the Registry, you will be asked to complete a 65 page questionnaire that contains questions about your ovarian cancer diagnosis, gynecologic history, family history, general medical history, and health risk factors. This questionnaire will take about 1 hour to complete.

In addition, researchers will look at your medical record and pathology samples stored at M. D. Anderson to get information about your surgeries, treatments, disease course, and tumor grade. If your original surgery was not performed at M. D. Anderson, you may be asked to provide tumor specimens from that surgery before enrolling in the Registry.

You will be contacted annually by the Registry Coordinator to update your demographic and health information.

This is an investigational study. The Registry will eventually enroll both M. D. Anderson and non-M. D. Anderson patients. The number of registrants is unlimited because the Registry will be ongoing. This study is partially funded by a research grant from the Elizabeth Fund for the Study of Low Grade Ovarian Carcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. 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 7 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Establish an ongoing national research registry of epidemiologic, clinical and pathologic data on low grade and low malignant potential (LMP) ovarian cancer patients in UTMDACC's Department of Gynecologic Oncology for research purposes. (time frame: 30 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 7 Oct 2015.
