Summary

This trial will investigate whether taking ASA reduces the risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women over 18 with a high risk of ovarian cancer due to BRCA1/2 mutations, who plan to have preventive surgery within 6 months to 2 years. They must be in good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and not on blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs. Participants should agree to use effective contraception and complete questionnaires in English or French.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), an anti-inflammatory drug, can prevent ovarian cancer compared to a placebo. Women will be randomly assigned ASA or placebo before their scheduled risk-reducing surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of ASA include increased bleeding risk, digestive issues like stomach ulcers, allergic reactions especially in those with asthma related to salicylates or NSAIDs, and potential kidney, liver, or heart problems.
