Can tumor markers guide future ovarian cancer treatments?
NCT ID NCT07771400
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study examines tumor samples from 320 Latin American women with advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer to describe the presence of certain markers (FRα, HER2, PD-L1, HRD, and BRCA). Researchers will collect medical history and test archived tumor tissue to see how often these markers overlap. The goal is to better understand the molecular landscape of this cancer in this population, which could inform future treatment strategies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- This could help identify which patients with advanced ovarian cancer might benefit from targeted therapies based on their tumor's molecular profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't test treatments directly. Results may not apply to all populations or lead to immediate clinical changes.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will consist of 320 participants aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (FIGO stage III-IV), including newly diagnosed, persistent, or recurrent disease, identified between 2018 and 2024 at approximately 16 participating centers across Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. Eligible participants must have histologically confirmed serous, endometrioid, mucinous, or clear cell carcinoma.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Participants ≥18 years-old. 2. Patients diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer: 1. advanced stages stage III or IV by FIGO disease stage 2. new diagnosis and persistent or recurrent disease 3. Diagnosed from 2018 to 2024. 4. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of serous (low or high grade), endometrioid, mucinous or clear cell ovarian carcinoma. 5. Accept to participate in the project and sign the informed consent (if applicable). 6. An archived representative formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimen in tumor tissue blocks (preferred) or freshly sectioned unstained slides (at least 20) from biopsy/surgery is mandatory. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Histological ambiguous diagnosis upon review. 2. Diagnosis based on cytology and without any biopsy or surgical specimen. 3. Patients diagnosed and staged but not receiving any treatment. 4. Patients without medical records available (lost, empty or irretrievable clinical information).
