ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00003763
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures using the drug radiolabeled folic acid and imaging may be effective in detecting ovarian cancer.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of radiolabeled folic acid plus imaging in detecting ovarian cancer.

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Study Start Date: January 1999
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the effectiveness of folic acid conjugated with indium In 111 to diagnose ovarian cancer and locate metastatic disease.

OUTLINE: This is a diagnostic study. Patients receive an injection of folic acid conjugated with indium In 111. The patient then undergoes imaging studies at various time points (e.g., 1, 4, and 24 hours). Patients then undergo exploratory surgery, the results of which are then compared to the imaging studies.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
