Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether an innovative preventive strategy, consisting of early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing with delayed oophorectomy beyond current guideline age, improves menopause-related quality of life without significantly increasing ovarian cancer incidence in comparison to current standard salpingo-oophorectomy in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Description:

Eligible women will choose for the innovative or standard risk-reducing option themselves.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Enrollment: 510
• Est. completion date: January 2035
• Est. primary completion date: January 2025
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Female
• Age group: 25 Years to 45 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Premenopausal women with a documented BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 germline mutation

• Age 25-40 years for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 25-45 years for BRCA2

• Childbearing completed

• Presence of at least one fallopian tube

• Participants may have a personal history of non-ovarian malignancy

Exclusion Criteria:

• Postmenopausal status (natural menopause or due to (cancer) treatment)

• Wish for second stage oophorectomy within two years after salpingectomy (if clear at enrollment)

• Legally incapable

• Prior bilateral salpingectomy

• A personal history of ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer

• Evidence of malignant disease at enrollment

• Treatment for malignant disease at enrollment

• Inability to read or speak Dutch

BRCA mutation carriers who opt for salpingectomy but who do not want to postpone the oophorectomy beyond the guideline age will undergo similar follow-up but do not contribute to the 510 inclusions we need

Intervention

Procedure:
• Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy
Early salpingectomy upon completions of childbearing with postponement of oophorectomy until between 40 and 45 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 45 and 50 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.
• Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy
This is the current guideline procedure, usually performed between age 35 and 40 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 40 and 45 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.
