Filter by:The purpose of this trial is to assess the effectiveness of TroVax® compared to placebo in extending the time to progression in patients with asymptomatic relapsed platinum resistant ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.The trial will also look at overall survival times and quality of life.
This is a Phase II study of Vigil™ autologous tumor cell vaccine integrated with bevacizumab. All patients will have had Vigil™ prepared and stored from initial primary surgical debulking. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will receive Vigil™ 1.0 x 10e7 cells/intradermal injection once every 4 weeks and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every 2 weeks.
This phase II trial studies how well veliparib works in treating patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The purpose of this study is to obtain an estimate of the biochemical response rate as determined by CA125 response using the Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) response criteria of PD0332991 in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial carcinoma. CA125 response is defined as ≥ 50% decrease from the baseline CA125 level and confirmed ≥ 21 days after initial evaluation (baseline is defined as the higher value of 2 pre-treatment CA125 assessments).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose and schedule of sirolimus when given together with vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Sirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with sirolimus may be an effective treatment for ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.
Rationale: The administration of prophylactic G-CSF may reduce the toxicity of a weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen in gynaecological cancers. Purpose: This multicenter phase II trial is studying the side effects of weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin when given with prophylactic G-SCF in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian-, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers, endometrial carcinoma or cervical carcinoma. Data obtained in this trial will be compared with historical data as published earlier. The trial will include 3 cohorts of 36 patients: - Subjects with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal carcinoma - Subjects with endometrial cancer - Subjects with cervical carcinoma Treatment: Subjects will receive Paclitaxel 60 mg/m² followed by Carboplatin AUC 2.7 intravenously weekly during 18 weeks. Filgrastim (Neupogen) will be given to all patients on day 5 and possibly on day 6 of each course. Subjects will be evaluated by CT/MRI scan after 9 cycles of chemotherapy (week 10), after 18 cycles of chemotherapy, then every 6 months for the next 2 years and then if clinically indicated. Subjects who develop disease progression will discontinue therapy. Subjects who have no evidence of disease progression after completion of study therapy will be followed until disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, or death.
Prognosis for many carcinomas, including ovarian carcinoma, is dependent on a complete surgical resection, also known as a R0 resection. At present, the ability to perform a complete resection with negative margins is limited by the surgeon's ability to palpate and visualize the tumor and its margins. Therefore, in order to reduce operative morbidity and costs while maintaining or improving surgical and oncologic outcomes, the investigators must develop technologies that improve visualization of the primary tumor and occult metastases, real time, during surgery. Recent research has demonstrated that the use of fluorescent probes that recognize cancer specific antigens can be used for this purpose when visualized using a prototype near-infrared multispectral imaging system. This investigation will determine if folate-FITC, a fluorescent probe that recognizes the folate receptor (present in > 90% of ovarian cancers) can facilitate surgical resection and detect tumor nodules not visible to the naked eye.
The purpose of this study is: Phase A: To confirm the feasibility of paclitaxel administered by intravenous (IV) infusion weekly plus concurrent carboplatin administered by intraperitoneal (IP) injection once every 3 weeks (dd-TCip therapy). Phase B: To compare the efficacy and safety of the following two treatment regimens as first-line chemotherapy in women with epithelial ovarian, Fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
This project seeks to develop a quantitative imaging biomarker for evaluating and monitoring treatment response in ovarian cancer metastases and assess its potential in monitoring treatment response. This will involve standardising DW-MRI for the abdomen and pelvis across multiple centres and platforms, assessing reproducibility of the measurement in patients planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and assessing its utility as an early response biomarker in patients with platinum-sensitive relapse due to receive therapy with carboplatin. Scanning measurements will be correlated with histopathological markers in tumour samples in order to link the biomarker with response mechanisms.
