Trial summary

Liquid biopsy is challenging for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we performed the methylation testing of host DNA, namely, OPCML, FODX3 and CDH13, in the peripheral serum to discover the diagnostic and supervision roles of DNA methylation in EOC patients.

About this study

Official title: Cell-free DNA Methylation for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: The Training and Validation Sets in China

Liquid biopsy is challenging for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we performed the methylation testing of host DNA, namely, OPCML, FODX3 and CDH13, in the peripheral serum to discover the diagnostic and supervision roles of DNA methylation in EOC patients. The study compromises two stages.

In the training set, DNA methylation testing is performed in the ovarian tissues from EOC and paired benign ovarian tumor patients. The cut-off values of methylation are produced in this stage. On the meantime, serum DNA methylation testing is also performed to reveal its accordance and accuracy compared with the results of ovarian tissues.

In the validation set, serum DNA methylation testing is performed in unselected ovarian tumor patients with definite cut-off values to validate its accuracy based on known histology of ovarian tumors.

In training and validation sets, serum DNA methylation is also performed after major surgeries for EOC as to illustrate the changes of methylation testing, therefore, reflection the supervision role of DNA methylation.

  • DNA methylation testingDiagnostic test

    Methylation testing of host DNA, namely, OPCML, FODX3 and CDH13, in the peripheral serum

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cut-off values of targeted DNA methylation in epithelial ovarian cancer

    The cut-off values are achieve by paired epithelial ovarian cancer and benign ovarian tumor patients.

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Accuracy of serum DNA methylation in epithelial ovarian cancer

    The accuracy is supported by sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value.

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing DNA methylation testing in people with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer and DNA Methylation, run by Lei Li at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2020. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Lei Li, M.D. (+8613911988831, lileigh@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cut-off values of targeted DNA methylation in epithelial ovarian cancer (time frame: Two 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 3 Dec 2020.
