| Official Title: | A Pilot Study To Correlate DNA Sequence Copy Number Abnormalities With Outcome In Patients With Advanced Epithelial Ovarian Cancer |
- Validation of the observation that a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of shorter progression-free survival in patients with primary grade 2 or grade 3 advanced serous papillary ovarian cancer by microarray and Taqman analyses [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Determination of whether a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of worse overall survival in these patients [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Determination of whether other previously identified chromosomal changes (3q gain, 7q gain, 16q loss, and 17pter-q21 loss) predict outcome [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Association between above chromosomal changes and clinical characteristics [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Identification of up to 5 additional chromosomal changes and their association that may predict outcome (progression-free and overall survival) [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
| Estimated Enrollment: | 158 |
OBJECTIVES:
- Utilize array comparative genomic hybridization and Taqman analyses, a quantitative genomic polymerase chain reaction, to validate the observation that a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of shorter progression-free survival in patients with primary grade 2 or grade 3 advanced serous papillary ovarian cancer.
- Utilize these analyses to determine whether a gain in chromosome 8q is predictive of worse overall survival in these patients.
- Utilize these analyses to determine whether other previously identified chromosomal changes (3q gain, 7q gain, 16q loss, and 17pter-q21 loss) predict outcome in these patients and the association between these changes and clinical characteristics.
- Utilize these analyses to identify up to 5 additional chromosomal changes and their association that may predict outcome (progression-free and overall survival) in these patients.
OUTLINE: Genomic DNA is isolated from OCT-embedded tissue and analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization. The chromosomal changes identified by this method are compared to those identified using the Taqman method, a quantitative genomic polymerase chain reaction analysis. Chromosome 8q is of specific interest. Other chromosomal changes may be detected in chromosomes 3q, 7q, 16q, and/or 17pter-q21.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 158 patient samples will be collected for this study.
