Encouraging news about clinical trials

Pharmaceutical companies and research teams have begun to target women who have had hysterectomies with the ultimate goals of finding better medicines, treatments and understanding the changes of the hysterectomy patient.

Hystersisters.com is proud of the day to day support provided to its members in a kind atmosphere and balanced (neither pro nor anti hysterectomy bias) environment. With the gathering of so many members, we also hope to make a difference in the lives of our members and our next generation of women to encourage research and production of better treatments, better options. We sincerely hope that the need for this surgery is diminished in years to come as better treatments and alternatives are found.

How can you help?

We encourage you to participate when you meet qualifications!

Hystersister website users who have recently had a hysterectomy and have had their ovaries removed(within 1 month post-op) are invited to participate in a survey study by University of Iowa researchers. This web-based survey inquires about the experiences you've had following your hysterectomy. The survey may take 20-30 minutes to complete. You will also be invited to complete a follow-up web-based survey in 12 weeks. The Hystersisters website has generously agreed to award each woman who participates a Hystersisters gift badge for the time and effort to complete the initial survey. In addition, women who complete both the initial survey and the follow-up survey will receive a certificate of participation and will be entered into a raffle for a chance to receive $50.00.

If you have already had first line treatment for ovarian cancer, and your cancer has returned, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical research study investigating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, in combination with standard chemotherapy. [Click Here]

Please consider volunteering. Ovarian Cancer is diagnosed in more than 25,000 women in the United States and 2,500 women in Canada each year. Your involvement in clinical research may help other women with ovarian cancer, as well as women yet to be diagnosed.

This is a Phase III clinical trial (research study) of OvaRex® MAb (oregovomab) for women who have been diagnosed with Stage III/Stage IV ovarian cancer. OvaRex is a monoclonal antibody that targets CA125, a marker found in the blood associated with ovarian cancer. OvaRex is designed to help each patient’s immune system recognize ovarian cancer cells and fight their disease.

In this study, OvaRex is being used at a time shortly after successful front line therapy when there is no standard treatment. This period of time is called “watchful waiting”, and currently there are no approved products to treat ovarian cancer at this stage.

New clinical studies are being conducted throughout the U.S. to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Alista™, a topically applied product for the treatment of women with female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD) as a result of undergoing a hysterectomy. As there are no medications currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of diminished sexual arousal, these clinical studies are an important step in the development of new therapeutic options to provide women with useful treatments for decreased sexual arousal.
