NCT04812938

Brief Summary

The aim of the project is to corroborate them on a large retrospective cohort of HGS-EOC and confirm the possibility of identify TP53 mutations in high grade endometrioid tumors. This will consequently allow to confirm the previous results and define with a greater precision the temporal windows in which it will be possible to detect, through the TP53 analysis, tumor material by vaginal swab sampling. The results of the study will be the first step of a multiphase prospective validation program for the development of a novel approach for early diagnosis of EOC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Demonstrate that clonal pathogenic TP53 variants of HGS-EOC can be detected in patient-matched PAP tests

    To validate the preliminary data obtained by Paracchini 14, which found that the clonal pathogenic TP53 variants of HGS-EOC can be detected in PAP tests of patient tratted by ovarian cancer performed more than two years before the diagnosis of ovarian neoplasia. Within this aim, we will calculate the detection rate and define the temporal window up to which the detection of the TP53 variant is feasible and set up the optimal experimental conditions, such as DNA quality and quantity, that will be used in the downstream steps for the assay development.

    We can estimate six month to obtain pathological sample from the different hospital involved in this protocol and in the mean time to set up the laboratory procedures in large scale.

  • Demonstrate that clonal pathogenic TP53 variants of HGS-EOC can be detected in patient-matched PAP tests

    The second outcome is the evaluation of the percentage of pap test negative for cervical cancer and positive for genetic determination of ovarian neoplastic cells in pre clinic stage of ovarian neoplasia.

    In the following six months the data obtained are processed. The final analisys is forecast within one year.

Interventions

Define the possibility to detect through the pap test the presence of ovarian cancer cells in vaginal smear in patients with no evidence of ginecological malignancies.

Biospecimen

Retention: SAMPLES WITH DNA

For each EOC patient, one FFPE biopsy from primary tumor, possibly one FFPE biopsy from a synchronous metastatic lesion will be retrieved from the Laboratory of Pathological Anatomy at each hospital center. For each FFPE sample, a minimum tumor content of 40% will be guarantee by the pathologist of the hospital who performed the diagnosis of EOC and at least three to six slides (5 micron thick) will be prepared, with the representative area of tumor marked on each slide for DNA purification. Moreover, all available patient's Pap Test smears sampled up to eight years before EOC diagnosis will be collected. All samples will be shipped to and stored at the Laboratory of Cancer Pharmacology, IRCCS Humanitas Research Hospital at under the responsibility of Dr. Sergio Marchini.
