A Prospective, Phase IIA Study of the Effect of Flutamide (125 MG/DAY) Taken for 6 Weeks on Expression of Potential Biomarkers of Flutamide Action in the Ovaries of Women at Increased Risk for Ovarian Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating flutamide for Ovarian Cancer. Completed, enrolled 127 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients with a high risk of developing ovarian cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. We hypothesized that (i) preclinical biologic evidence exists for the role of androgens in ovarian cancer development and (ii) flutamide treatment of women at high risk for ovarian cancer may identify meaningful tissue biomarkers of androgen action and of ovarian cancer initiation. This phase II trial studied the effect of flutamide on biomarkers in blood and tissue samples from patients at high risk of ovarian cancer.
