Ovarian Cancer Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

Part I (Survey/Information stage):

• People who are 45 years of age or older
• People who are female or were assigned female at birth
• People who have a scheduled appointment with a non-gynaecological surgeon

Part II (Procedure stage):

• People who are 45 years of age or older
• People who have at least one fallopian tube still in place
• People who do not want or plan to have children in the future
• People who are considered to have an average risk of developing ovarian cancer — meaning no known genetic risk factors for ovarian cancer (if a family history suggests a possible hereditary risk but no genetic testing has been done, the trial site would refer that person for genetic evaluation first)
• People who are already scheduled for a non-gynaecological surgery inside the abdomen or pelvis
• People considered a suitable candidate by both a gynaecological surgeon and their primary (non-gynaecological) surgeon
• People who have read, agreed to, and signed the trial consent form

Who may not be able to join:

Part I:

• People who are not fluent in English or Spanish (note: people who are not fluent in English or Spanish but meet all other criteria may still be eligible to enter Part II directly — confirm with the trial site)
• People with a known inherited susceptibility to ovarian cancer

Part II:

• People with a personal history of a gynaecological cancer
• People who carry a gene variant linked to hereditary breast or ovarian cancer risk (for example, BRCA1, BRCA2, or similar variants)
• People whose pre-surgery scans showed a suspicious growth on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus
• People who have previously had both fallopian tubes removed, or both fallopian tubes and ovaries removed
• People who have an ESSURE device or any other implanted tubal contraceptive device in place at the time of surgery
• People who are currently pregnant
• People whose surgery is an emergency procedure that must be completed within 24 hours, or where their health is in immediate danger
• People whose primary surgeon expects that adding this procedure would significantly extend the operation time (more than 30–40 minutes)
• People whose planned surgery position (for example, lying face-down or on their side) would prevent the surgeon from accessing the pelvic area
• People with a known history of pelvic scarring or significant internal adhesions (bands of scar tissue)
• People whose planned surgery is intended for comfort or symptom management only (palliative intent), rather than treatment
