Overview
The IMPRoVE study is a prospective, non-interventional, explorative cohort study to determine prognostic immune markers in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer (EOC).
Detailed description
Tumor material, ascites (if possible) and blood samples for immune monitoring will be collected from patients with primary and recurrent EOC undergoing surgery, chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.
Interventions
- Other No intervention
Observational study, no intervention
Primary outcome measures
- Association between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs in patients with recurrent EOC before the start of treatment and OS [Time frame: 5 years]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Association between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs in patients with recurrent EOC before the start of treatment and PFS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs in patients with primary EOC before the start of treatment and OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs in patients with primary EOC before the start of treatment and PFS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Interaction between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs and EOC groups on OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Interaction between the mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs and EOC groups on PFS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs measured at different time points in patients with primary EOC and OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs measured at different time points in patients with recurrent EOC and OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs measured at different time points in patients with primary EOC and PFS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Association between mMDSC/DC ratio in PBMCs measured at different time points in patients with recurrent EOC and PFS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Composition/counts of myeloid cells in PBMCs in patients with primary EOC before and during treatment and the association with OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Function of myeloid cells (assessed by functional suppression assay) in PBMCs in patients with primary EOC before and during treatment and the association with OS [Time frame: 5 years]
- Composition/counts of myeloid cells in PBMCs in patients with recurrent EOC before and during treatment and the association with OS [Time frame: 5 years]
