MIMOSA is a demanding multinational trial started in December 2006 with a 9 years of duration. About 900 patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have had an optimal response to the initial treatment (surgery + chemotherapy) have been included in the study with the aim to test the efficacy and safety of the vaccination with Abagovomab for the prevention or the delay of disease’s recurrences. The first results will be available at the end of 2010.
WHAT IS ABAGOVOMAB?
Abagovomab is an antibody to be used as a therapeutic vaccine for the prevention of recurrences of ovarian cancer
Dear Paggmo,
I hope that you receive a response from a member of the forum soon. It may be helpful for you to look at the Irish Clinical Oncology Research group website www.icorg.ie
for information on clinical trials currently running in the Republic of Ireland. It would also be important for you to contact your Oncologist to discuss your interest in clinical trials.
I hope that the above information is helpful. If you would like to speak to a nurse trained in cancer care please contact the Irish Cancer Society free phone helpline number 1800 200 700.
Kind Regards
Cancer Information Services Nurse
