New test could unlock Life-Extending drug for more women with ovarian cancer

NCT ID NCT04780945

Summary

This study aimed to see if a new laboratory test (called the RAD51 assay) could identify more women with recurrent ovarian cancer who would benefit from the drug olaparib. It focused on patients whose cancer had returned after initial treatment. The goal was to find a better way to match patients to this specific therapy than relying only on genetic tests for BRCA mutations.
