Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Sensitivity and Specificity of Cytological Samples for Fallopian Tube Involvement
Time Frame: At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the cytological samples collected from the fallopian tube in determining the presence or absence of malignancy for fallopian tube involvement as compared to the surgical histology results. Fallopian tube involvement was defined as: 1. Malignant cells that originated in the fallopian tube, detected by the surgical histology results from the fallopian tube. 2. Malignant cells that have migrated to the fallopian tube, detected by surgical histology results of the ovaries or fallopian tube.
At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
PPV, NPV and Diagnostic Accuracy for Fallopian Tube Involvement
Time Frame: At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value and Diagnostic Accuracy will be calculated for Cytuity as compared to surgical histology of the ovaries and fallopian tube for fallopian tube involvement. Fallopian tube involvement was defined as: 1. Malignant cells that originated in the fallopian tube, detected by the surgical histology results from the fallopian tube. 2. Malignant cells that have migrated to the fallopian tube, detected by surgical histology results of the ovaries or fallopian tube.
At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV and Diagnostic Accuracy of the Fallopian Tube
Time Frame: At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value and Diagnostic Accuracy will be calculated for Cytuity as compared to surgical histology of the fallopian tube.
At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV and Diagnostic Accuracy of the Ovaries
Time Frame: At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value and Diagnostic Accuracy will be calculated for Cytuity as compared to surgical histology of the ovaries for epithelial malignancies.
At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV and Diagnostic Accuracy for Subject Level Analysis
Time Frame: At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, Negative Predictive Value and Diagnostic Accuracy will be calculated for Cytuity as compared to surgical histology for fallopian tube involvement at the subject level. Fallopian tube involvement was defined as: 1. Malignant cells that originated in the fallopian tube, detected by the surgical histology results from the fallopian tube. 2. Malignant cells that have migrated to the fallopian tube, detected by surgical histology results of the ovaries or fallopian tube.
