E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of tinzaparin on changes in levels of CA-125 in EOC patients who receive NACT. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objective of the study is to explore the impact of tinzaparin on the dynamic of a spectrum of immunological and coagulation factors in EOC patients who receive NACT. Besides, the compliance of tinzaparin injections and adverse events caused by tinzaparin will be described and any thromboembolic events will be registered. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
The subject has given written consent to participate in the study. Female sex Age 18 and above Epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer, or abdominal cancer where a biopsy or cytology indicates an origin from the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum. Histology diagnosis of either high grade serous carcinoma, endometroid carcinoma or clear cell carcinoma. FIGO stage III-IV disease. Selected for NACT with platinum double regimen at a multidisciplinary conference at Department of Oncology at Linköping University Hospital Receive treatment at either of the University Hospital in Linköping, or the hospitals in Jönköping (Ryhov Hospital), Eksjö (Höglandssjukhuset Eksjö), Västervik (Västervik sjukhus), Kalmar (Länssjukhuset i Kalmar), Värnamo (Värnamo sjukhus). Planned for platinum doublet regimen. Prior to start of NACT pregnancy should be ruled out by menstrual history or in unclear cases by a urine hCG test. Women of childbearing potential should use a safe birth control method (combined hormonal contraception, progesterone only hormonal contraception, intra uterine device, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner, sexual abstinence, male or female condom, diaphragm with spermicide).

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Concomitant treatment with heparins, low molecular weight heparins, warfarin or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants. Platelet inhibitors are allowed. Treatment with heparins, low molecular weight heparins or non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants within the last year. Known or suspected allergies against any product included in the study Ongoing pregnancy, independent of gestational age. Breastfeeding or planned pregnancy EOC disclosed at Cesarean section Mental inability, reluctance or language difficulties that result in difficulty understanding the meaning of study participation Treatment or disease which, according to the investigator, can affect treatment or study results Participation or recent participation (within the last 30 days) in a clinical study with an investigational product Ongoing treatment of thromboembolic disease. Thromboembolic disease within the last year. Hypersensitivity to the active substance (tinzaparin) or any of the excipients. Serious hemorrhage or conditions predisposing to serious hemorrhage. Serious hemorrhage is defined as fulfilling any one of these three criteria: a) occurs in a critical area or organ (e.g. intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intra-articular or pericardial, intra-uterine or intramuscular with compartment syndrome), b) causes a fall in hemoglobin level of 20 g/L (1.24 mmol/L) or more, or c) leads to transfusion of two or more units of whole blood or red blood cells. Severe coagulation disorder. Acute gastro duodenal ulcer. Septic endocarditis. Previous heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. WHO Performance Status >1.
