Brief 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.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
BRCA1 Gene Mutation BRCA2 Gene Mutation Ovarian Cancer Procedure: Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy Procedure: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy Not Applicable

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

Estimated Enrollment : 510 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: Early Salpingectomy (Tubectomy) With Delayed Oophorectomy to Improve Quality of Life as Alternative for Risk Reducing Salpingo-oophorectomy in BRCA1/2 Gene Mutation Carriers
Study Start Date : January 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 2025
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 2035


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy
Female BRCA mutation carriers can opt for early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing, followed by second stage oophorectomy delayed for five years beyond current guideline ages for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (i.e. age 40-45 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and 45-50 for BRCA mutation carriers).
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.
Other Name: Tubectomy with delayed oophorectomy

Active Comparator: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy
Female BRCA mutation carriers can opt for standard risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy at current guideline ages (age 35-40 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and age 40-45 for BRCA2 mutation carriers).
Procedure: 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.
Other Name: Bilateral prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Menopause-related quality of life [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years after last surgery ]
    Measured by the Greene Climacteric Scale


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. General quality of life [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last surgery ]
    measured by several questionnaires

  2. Quality of life related items [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last surgery ]
    i.e. sexual functioning, cancer worry, satisfaction with decision

  3. Surgery-related complications [ Time Frame: 6 weeks after each surgery ]
    Surgery-related complications

  4. Histopathologic findings of removed fallopian tubes and ovaries [ Time Frame: 6 weeks after each surgery ]
    - Histopathologic findings of removed fallopian tubes and ovaries

  5. Cardiovascular risk factors [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years after last surgery ]
    Limited physical examination: blood pressure, BMI, waist-hip ratio Blood sample Questionnaires on cardiovascular risk factors and diseases

  6. Incidence of cardiovascular diseases [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last surgery ]
    i.e. waist-hip circumference, Fasting blood sample

  7. Incidence of ovarian cancer [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last surgery ]
    Incidence of ovarian cancer (cancer of tubes, ovaries and/or peritoneal cancer)

  8. Incidence of breast cancer [ Time Frame: Up to 15 years after last surgery ]
    Incidence of breast cancer

  9. Cost-effectiveness of innovative preventive strategy [ Time Frame: 10 years after last surgery ]
    Costs per quality adjusted life year (QALY)

Ages Eligible for Study:   25 Years to 45 Years   (Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

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
