NCT02321228

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an innovative preventive strategy, consisting of early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing with delayed oophorectomy beyond current guideline age, improves menopause-related quality of life without significantly increasing ovarian cancer incidence in comparison to current standard salpingo-oophorectomy in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Study Arms (2)

Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy

EXPERIMENTAL

Female BRCA mutation carriers can opt for early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing, followed by second stage oophorectomy delayed for five years beyond current guideline ages for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (i.e. age 40-45 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and 45-50 for BRCA mutation carriers).

Procedure: Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy

Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Female BRCA mutation carriers can opt for standard risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy at current guideline ages (age 35-40 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and age 40-45 for BRCA2 mutation carriers).

Procedure: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy

Interventions

Early salpingectomy upon completions of childbearing with postponement of oophorectomy until between 40 and 45 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 45 and 50 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Also known as: Tubectomy with delayed oophorectomy
Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy

This is the current guideline procedure, usually performed between age 35 and 40 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 40 and 45 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.

Also known as: Bilateral prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy

Eligibility Criteria

  • Age 25-40 years for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 25-45 years for BRCA2

  • Participants may have a personal history of non-ovarian malignancy

You may not qualify if:

  • Postmenopausal status (natural menopause or due to (cancer) treatment)
  • Wish for second stage oophorectomy within two years after salpingectomy (if clear at enrollment)
  • Legally incapable
  • Prior bilateral salpingectomy
