Summary

This study is testing two genetic tests (Giscar and myChoice) to see if they can identify ovarian cancer patients whose tumors have a specific DNA repair problem (HRD). The goal is to see if these tests can predict which patients will respond well to platinum chemotherapy and may benefit from PARP inhibitor drugs. The study will enroll 88 women with advanced ovarian cancer who are starting first-line platinum-based chemotherapy.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: genetic tests (Giscar and myChoice) to determine HRD status
What this could lead to: If successful, these tests could help doctors identify which ovarian cancer patients are most likely to benefit from PARP inhibitor treatments, personalizing therapy.
What could go wrong: This is a Phase 2 study with only 88 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The tests are experimental and may not reliably predict treatment response.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient aged 18-year or more * Histologically documented high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or peritoneum cancer * Newly diagnosed advanced (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics \[FIGO\] stage III or IV) ovarian carcinoma, candidate to a first line platinum-based chemotherapy * Tumor tissue must be available for HRD analyses (FFPE tissue block) and * Collected if possible during the initial surgery or the initial biopsy (before chemotherapy) * With sufficient tumour surface area (\> 25 mm²), with a final cellularity of at least 20% * Patient affiliated to an appropriate social security system * Patient signed consent form before any trial related activities Exclusion Criteria: * Recurrent high grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube or peritoneum cancer * Non epithelial or borderline ovarian cancer * Other tumor, for which the treatment may interfere with the ovarian cancer treatment and/or that may have a major impact on prognosis * Exclusive palliative setting * Patient deprived of liberty or placed under the authority of a tutor
