Have you been able to qualify for clinical trials for stage 4 high-grade serous ovarian cancer, and where did you access them?
Yes, members have participated in clinical trials for advanced ovarian cancer. One MyOvarianCancerTeam member with recurrent high-grade ovarian cancer shared their experience researching and qualifying for trials.
Here's how they approached finding trials:
- Started by searching ClinicalTrials.gov using relevant terms like "platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer"
- Filtered results to show only "Recruiting and not yet recruiting studies"
- Narrowed the search to trials within the United States
- Looked for cancer centers that treated many patients
- Prioritized trials that were drivable or near family and friends
- Ended up with about six trials that seemed like a good fit
The member found this research process empowering during a difficult time, as it gave them a sense of choice in their treatment plan.
When considering clinical trials, it's helpful to discuss options with your oncologist, as they can suggest trials that match your specific situation. Many major cancer centers across the country offer clinical trials for stage 4 high-grade serous ovarian cancer, and some people are willing to travel if needed for the right trial.
