The second most common gynecological cancer in the world is ovarian cancer. Often diagnosed at an advanced stage, ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers in the female reproductive system.
In 2022, there were approximately 325,000 new cases of ovarian cancer worldwide and more than 207,000 deaths. Fortunately, progress in screening and early detection along with new breakthrough therapies offer promise for the treatment of this disease.
Ovarian cancer trial expertise
Ovarian cancer is one of Catalyst Oncology’s greatest areas of expertise. Over the past five years, we have managed complex first-in-human (FIH) through to large 400+ patient Phase III ovarian cancer trials across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Clinical trial enrollment in ovarian cancer studies is challenging since ovarian cancer often presents with gastrointestinal (GI)-related symptoms and patients need to be referred to gynecologic oncology specialists by their local GI or family medicine doctor. Partnering with the right sites and cooperative groups to navigate the competitive landscape and accelerate enrollment is critical to successfully managing ovarian trials.
It is important to work with an oncology CRO that understands and can proactively navigate the operational nuances unique to these studies and patient population.
