Overview

Blood Sample Collection Research Study for Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a life-threatening human disease, the most lethal gynecologic cancer. At current, there is no reliable test available for diagnosing early-stage OC.

The study sponsor is in the process of developing noninvasive blood tests which can accurately identify which participants are at high or low risk of ovarian cancer.

About the Study

The objective of this protocol is to collect and bank blood samples from symptomatic women in order to support research and development activities focused on the analytical performance evaluation of the study sponsor’s investigational ovarian cancer assay. Samples obtained will be utilized for assay optimization, reproducibility testing, and performance characterization.

Clinical trials help doctors and researchers develop better treatments for current and future patients. All studies follow strict safety guidelines and are carefully monitored.
Each clinical study has requirements for participants based on specific factors such as age, medical history and current health. The eligibility criteria in each study protocol are used to identify the volunteers best qualified to participate.
No. Study-related medications, tests, and medical visits are provided at no cost to you. Participation in a clinical trial should not require you to pay for study-related care.
Many studies provide compensation for time and travel. Compensation varies by study and will be explained before you decide to participate.
Health insurance is not required for most clinical trials. Study-related care is typically provided at no cost to you.
Participation is completely voluntary. You may choose to leave the study at any time, for any reason. Your decision will not affect your regular medical care or benefits.
