What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve how the risk of developing ovarian cancer is assessed in people who may be at increased risk of ovarian cancer due to their family history or genetic background. In current clinical practice, ovarian cancer risk assessment usually relies on information about cancer in the family and, in some cases, genetic testing for certain genes known to be associated with ovarian cancer. While this approach is commonly used, the inclusion of additional factors may support more personalised ovarian cancer risk assessment. This study compares two approaches to ovarian cancer risk assessment: * Standard clinical practice, which follows current national guidelines, and * A more personalised risk assessment, which uses a validated tool called CanRisk, recommended by European guidelines, to combine family history, genetic test results, and other factors, including health and lifestyle-related factors. By comparing these two approaches, the study aims to understand whether the personalised risk assessment tool, CanRisk, can be used in everyday clinical care. To do this, researchers will investigate whether the CanRisk tool is feasible in clinical practice, acceptable to both healthcare professionals and persons receiving a risk assessment, as well as whether it can be delivered in a cost-effective way. The study does not involve people who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It focuses on individuals who are currently cancer-free and are undergoing assessment because they may have an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 2,130 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Women, trans men, non-binary people with female reproductive organs 2. Aged 18 to 75 years 3. Referred or self-referred because of a family history suggestive of increased risk for ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneum cancer, or because a family member has been found to have a PV associated with OC risk 4. Able to give informed consent 5. Expected to remain in the study catchment area for the duration of follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Personal history of cancer 2. Previously undergone Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy (RRSO) 3. Previously undergone multifactorial risk assessment (using CanRisk or another tool) incorporating risk factors, family history and genetic testing (panel +/- PGS) 4. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the participant's ability to participate or comply with study requirements
