Moffitt Cancer Center and Vermillion Collaborate to Model Improvements in Ovarian Cancer Care Quality, Patient Outcomes and Cost
PR Newswire - Thu May 08, 4:06PM CDT
A new research collaboration anchored by Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., was announced today in conjunction with World Ovarian Cancer Day. The purpose of the study is to produce clinical and economic data to support a new value-based practice model that may improve survival, quality of life and cost-effectiveness of care for patients with ovarian cancer. The study will be led by Johnathan M. Lancaster, M.D., Ph.D., a gynecologic oncologist, expert in personalized medicine and president of the Moffitt Medical Group, and funded through an unrestricted grant from Austin-based Vermillion, Inc. It will feature two phases, the first phase will be retrospective, and will benchmark the care standards and variances provided to patients with ovarian, fallopian tube and/or primary peritoneal cancer. The second phase will model improvements in care quality and cost that may be afforded by creating a standardized triage algorithm employing different FDA-cleared or prototype multi-marker blood tests, along with established clinical diagnostic or prognostic factors such as pelvic exams and ultrasound imaging.
