Study Summary

This is a phase 0/phase I feasibility trial to test the hypothesis that flaxseed supplementation is an effective maintenance therapy for patients with ovarian cancer who are in clinical remission following platinum-based regimens. The investigators further hypothesize levels of estrogen metabolites and prostaglandin E2 in this patient population will correlate with recurrence of disease, extent of tumor burden, invasion and metastasis.

Primary Outcome

To determine the feasibility of administering a 20 gram (g) per day dose of ground flaxseed to patients with histology-proven epithelial ovarian cancer who have undergone surgical debulking and adjuvant chemotherapy with platinum-based regimens and are currently in clinical remission.

Interventions

  • DRUG Omega Nutrition cold-milled flaxseeds
