Details and patient eligibility

About

To maximise the accessibility and benefit of PARP inhibitors to eligible patients, it is essential to know the prevalence of HRD in women with advanced high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian cancer. Presently, the prevalence data for HRD are available from selected geographies only and range from 31% to 50%. Furthermore, the risk factors associated with HRD and clinical characteristics of patients with HRD need exploration for region-specific differences. In the present study, we will estimate the region- and country-specific prevalence of HRD in women with stage III or IV high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer and associated risk factors with clinical characteristics in Asia-Pacific countries, Latin America, Africa, Russia, Australia, and Middle East countries.

The findings of the study will help the oncologists in optimal patient selection and clinical decision-making for the first-line maintenance of patients with HGSOC

Full description

This cross-sectional, noninterventional, multicentre, epidemiological, observational study is designed to determine the prevalence of HRD in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer. The study will also determine the prevalence of tBRCA1m/tBRCA2m, genomic instability, and identify the associated risk factors in several countries across broad geographic regions. The patients with newly diagnosed high-grade (stage III or IV of Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] classification 2014, Prat J, 2015) ovarian cancer, having the availability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) archival tumour tissue block(s) collected within past 120 days will be screened to enrol a minimum of 405 women after obtaining written informed consent and eligibility assessment. The FFPE tumour tissue block(s) collected as part of routine clinical care at public or private ovarian cancer management and or diagnostic facilities in the selected countries will be sent for testing at Myriad Genetics laboratories Inc.

at Salt Lake City, United States of America (USA) through Myriad's local logistics network.

This study will have a single visit.

The study centres and the respective investigators will be selected through a site-level feasibility process after assessing the following:

• availability of the average number patients with newly diagnosed stage III and IV serous or endometrioid ovarian, primary peritoneal, and/or fallopian tube cancer.
• completeness of patient medical records pertaining to diagnostics and having the facility, capacity, and competence of collecting and archiving FFPE tumour tissue block(s).

Assessment and selection of study centres by the study sponsor AstraZeneca (AZ) will be an ongoing process during the entire course of the study until completion of recruitment.
