Evaluation of Salivary RNAs in the Presence of an Adnexal Mass of Ovarian Origin

France, Switzerland, Tunisia746 participantsStarted 2022-05-04

Plain-language summary

OVAmiARN is a multicentre, prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, observational study carried out in 8 obstetrics and gynecology departments in France; in order to describe the evolution of salivary miRNA expression between the pre-operative and post-therapy visits according to the type of mass. In time, the clinical application will be to significantly reduce the time to diagnosis and improve the care pathway for ovarian adnexal mass. The study population consists of patients with an ovarian adnexal mass diagnosed by clinical examination and imaging (pelvic ultrasound and/or MRI) and requiring surgical management in routine care. The patients concerned by the study will be managed without modification of the care pathway, nor modification of the therapeutic indications, nor modification of the diagnostic or follow-up examinations (imaging or biology) necessary according to the context, which are carried out according to the recommendations of the HAS, CNGOF. In this study, the management and follow-up of patients : * Are not imposed by the study: the doctor remains free to make medical prescriptions (treatments and examinations) and to determine the interval between consultation visits, * Are not modified in comparison with the usual follow-up, except for the performance of the Collection of saliva

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
