Clinical Protocol to Evaluate Glycans Analysis As a Diagnostic Test for Ovarian Cancer

RATIONALE: New diagnostic procedures, such as glycan analysis, may be effective in finding
ovarian epithelial cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well glycan analysis works in diagnosing cancer
in women with ovarian epithelial cancer and in healthy female participants.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Evaluate the accuracy of glycan analysis to distinguish between normal healthy control
female subjects and those with ovarian epithelial cancer.

Secondary

- Compare the new assay to the standard CA 125 for diagnostic accuracy.

OUTLINE:

- Ovarian cancer patients: Blood samples are obtained periodically for up to 2 years.
Patients undergoing surgery have blood samples drawn before and after surgery. Medical
charts are reviewed periodically for up to 3 years.

- Healthy volunteers: One blood sample is obtained. Volunteers also complete a 1-page
questionnaire.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 300 healthy female participants and 400 patients will be
accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Able to understand consent document for participation in the study

- Not pregnant

- Negative pregnancy test

Participants must meet 1 of the following criteria:

- Patients scheduled for ovarian surgery for an ovarian mass

- Healthy female volunteers with no active cancer or history of cancer
