Blood test may spot ovarian cancer return months before scans

NCT ID NCT07670962

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a specialized blood test can detect tiny bits of cancer DNA in the blood of women with advanced ovarian cancer after they finish initial treatment. Researchers will follow 300 women for up to 3 years, taking blood samples at key times. The goal is to see if the test can predict cancer recurrence earlier than standard imaging or blood tests.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Blood-based ctDNA minimal residual disease (MRD) test

What this could lead to

If successful, this blood test could help doctors identify which patients are at high risk of their ovarian cancer returning, potentially allowing earlier intervention.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not accurately predict recurrence for all patients, and results may not change outcomes.
