Compare Fallopian Tube Cells Collected by Cytuity With Removed Ovarian/Tubal Tissue to Determine Presence of Malignancy (nCYT)

December 30, 2020 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

The nCYT Study: A Powered Study to Evaluate the Sensitivity and Specificity of Cytological Evaluation of Fallopian Tube Samples Collected by the Cytuity in Determining the Presence of Malignancy

Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study to assess the ability of the Cytuity device to collect cell samples from the fallopian tube that can be evaluated for the presence or absence of malignancy.

Primary Outcome Measures

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

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.
At the time of the scheduled salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy
