ChemoINTEL Assay Algorithm Development Study: In-Vitro Cytotoxic Drug Induced Apoptosis Correlation with Patient Clinical Response to Administered Chemotherapy in Patients

This is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, clinical development study. Pierian Biosciences is utilizing ChemoINTEL and ImmunoINTEL assay measurements in human tumour cells from patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) to develop a mathematical algorithm which will be able to predict a patient's tumour's sensitivity to specific chemotherapy drugs. The study involves using a sample of tumour biopsy taken during standard of care surgery, with a matched blood sample if possible. Medical history, pathology information and information on chemotherapy for up to 6 cycles will be requested. The information will then be used to developed an algorithm to predict tumour sensitivity to treatment.
