NCT ID NCT06962059

First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at the bacteria and natural chemicals in the vagina to see if they can help find ovarian cancer earlier. Researchers will collect samples from 50 healthy women (who still have ovaries) and compare them to samples from women with a higher cancer risk or known ovarian cancer. The goal is to build a model that predicts cancer risk, but no treatment or cure is being tested.
