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

Summary

This study looks at three approaches to prevent ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations: regular screening, removing both fallopian tubes and ovaries at once, or removing only the fallopian tubes first and the ovaries later. The two-step surgery aims to delay menopause and its side effects. About 80 premenopausal women aged 30-47 are taking part to see how many complete the delayed ovary removal and whether the fallopian tube removal alone lowers cancer risk.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Premenopausal women with a documented BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Menopause is defined as \>/= 12 months of amenorrhea. 2. Women must be at least 30 and less than 48 years of age. 3. Candidate for surgery and willing to undergo two surgical procedures (if chooses the PSDO arm). 4. Patient choosing PSDO or RRSO must desire permanent sterilization. 5. Presence of at least one fallopian tube. Prior tubal ligation is allowed. 6. Participants may have a personal history of non-ovarian malignancy, but must be without evidence of disease at enrollment and the patient must have completed treatment (including surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy) \> 3 months prior to enrollment (other than non-melanoma skin cancer). Current or past SERM or aromatase inhibitor use is allowed. 7. Willingness to return to the enrolling site for any surgical procedures including pre-operative and post-operative care. 8. Willingness to return to the enrolling site for ovarian cancer screening during the study period. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Postmenopausal women or women \< 30 or \>/= 48 years of age. 2. Women without a documented BRCA mutation. 3. Women with a history of ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. 4. Women currently undergoing cancer treatment or with a known active cancer. History of malignancy is allowed as long as the patient has completed treatment \> 3 months prior to enrollment. 5. Medical comorbidities making surgery unsafe as determined by the patient's surgeon. 6. Prior bilateral salpingectomy. Prior unilateral salpingectomy is allowed. 7. Women who are pregnant. Patients are deemed not pregnant by virtue of urine pregnancy test (UPT), transvaginal ultrasound, beta HCG, or best judgement of the investigator. Pregnancy testing is not required per protocol to determine study eligibility. 8. Women desiring future fertility except in the screening arm of the trial. 9. Women whose most recent CA125 or transvaginal ultrasound is abnormal. A history of abnormal CA125 or ultrasound is allowed, as long as the most recent testing is normal. 10. Inability to provide informed consent. 11. Inability to read or speak English.
