Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
Any fatty acid that contains an unsaturated bond originating from the 3rd carbon from the methyl end. Omega-3 fatty acids do not occur naturally with chain lengths shorter than 16 carbon units.

Omega-3 fatty acid has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 1 is open and 0 are closed. Of the trial investigating omega-3 fatty acid, 1 is no phase specified (1 open).

ER Negative, ER No Expression, and PR Negative are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for omega-3 fatty acid clinical trials.

Breast carcinoma is the most common disease being investigated in omega-3 fatty acid clinical trials [2].

Top Biomarker Inclusion Criteria for Open Clinical Trials Investigating Omega-3 Fatty Acid
This graph displays the 20 most frequently occurring biomarkers curated on clinical trials investigating omega-3 fatty acid and the cancer types associated with these biomarkers. These numbers are derived from a set of 5,956 clinical trials for which biomarker status defines treatment.
