Filter by:A phase III prospective study with the primary objective to compare the efficacy and safety of HIPEC( Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy). The target population for this study is patients with primary or recurrence ovarian, peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers undergoing CRS( Cytoreductive Surgery). Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A will undergo CRS plus HIPEC and then go on to receive standard platinum-based combination doublet intravenous chemotherapy. Group B will undergo CRS and then go on to intravenous chemotherapy.
The primary objective of this study is to apply best-practice stated-preference methods to quantify the extent to which women with ovarian cancer accept the risks, side effects, and out-of-pocket costs associated with treatment in return for progression-free survival benefit afforded by a treatment, regardless of whether there is an overall survival benefit.
This research study will test whether using wearable fitness trackers with a social incentive, delivered through a game-based mobile health intervention, increases physical activity and quality of life in ovarian cancer survivors.
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the ninth most common cause of cancer in Australian women, with an estimated 1500 new diagnoses in Australia in 2015, and remains the seventh most common cause of cancer death in Australian women. High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common form of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, and accounts for the most deaths due to a gynaecological cancer. The majority of women diagnosed with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer present with advanced disease, and are typically managed with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Despite initial good response rates to chemotherapy, High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer recurs in up to 70% of patients who present with Stage III/IV disease. The purpose of this research project is to test how safe and effective the combination treatment of cobimetinib, bevacizumab and atezolizumab is as a treatment for patients with platinum resistant or refractory high grade serous ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer. Cobimetinib is a drug that blocks a protein called Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK). MEK proteins are involved in the multiplication of cancer cells. By binding to the MEK protein, cobimetinib may help to stop the growth of your cancer cells. Bevacizumab is an antibody (a type of protein produced by the immune system) that is specifically designed to block a protein called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). VEGF is a protein that can increase the growth of tumour cells and binding to VEGF may help to stop the growth of tumours. Atezolizumab is a type of drug called a Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor. PD-L1 binds to PD-1 which is a type of protein found on the surface of cells in your body's immune system, and it controls the ability of your body's natural immune response to trigger the death of tumour cells. Tumour cells can hide from the immune system by using PD-L1, which stops your immune system from triggering tumour cell death. Atezolizumab is a drug designed to block this PD-1/PD-L1 interaction by binding to PD-L1 so that PD-1 cannot bind to it and stops it from turning off your immune cells. This helps your immune system to recognise and destroy tumour cells. In turn, this potentially can stop or reverse the growth of your cancer. Cobimetinib, bevacizumab and atezolizumab have been used alone or in combination in the treatment of many other cancers. Each of them are individually licensed for the treatment of cancers such as advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and bladder cancer in Australia. However, this treatment combination is experimental and is not approved to treat ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancers in any country.
This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I/II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ovarian cancer specific cytotoxic lymphocytes (OC-CTLs) in women.
This is a phase III, randomized, partially blinded, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy compared to placebo plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian-, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with 1st or 2nd relapse within 6 months after platinum based chemotherapy or 3rd relapse.
An important part of staging and deciding the method of treatment is knowing areas of how cancer is involved. Diagnostic imaging is often used to determine the location of the cancer using techniques like nuclear medicine, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computerized tomography), and ultrasound. Each technique looks for cancer in different ways and are often used together to make a better determination of the extent of disease. One of the techniques used in cancer imaging is PET/CT. This technique combines a nuclear medicine study (PET or positron emission tomography) with CT performing both scans at the same time. PET/CT most commonly uses a radioactive sugar (FDG or fluorodeoxyglucose) to detect the cancer. The problem with FDG is that it is excreted by the kidneys and collected in the bladder. Even though the bladder is emptied prior to the scan, the FDG activity present there may interfere with the detection of small areas of cancer involvement in lymph nodes or adjacent areas. It is because of this that PET/CT using FDG is infrequently used in gynecological cancers. This purpose of this study is to evaluate if 18F-fluciclovine can be used to help determine the extent of gynecological cancers. 18F-fluciclovine (also known as AXUMIN) is a radioactive tracer which has been approved by the FDAFood and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with prostate cancer. 18F-fluciclovine has much less excretion through the kidneys which improves the PET/CT imaging of the pelvis.
Safety and tolerability of combination of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab will be studied in patients with 3 different types of cancers in 3 parts of the study, as shown below: Part 1 - Neoadjuvant Therapy of Breast Cancer; Part 2 - Therapy of Ovarian Cancer; and Part 3 - Therapy of Gastric Cancer.
Self-advocacy, defined as the ability of a patient to get her needs and priorities met in the face of a challenge, is an essential skill but not all women with advanced cancer are able to do it. We want to instruct women with advanced cancer who have low self-advocacy to self-advocate for their health and well-being. We will test a new "serious game" or video program that teaches self-advocacy skills through interactive, situation-based activities. The goal of the Strong Together serious game is to engage participants in challenges commonly experienced by women with advanced cancer, offer them choices to self-advocate or not, and directly show them the health and social benefits of self-advocating and the negative consequences of not self-advocating. Through engaging in the Strong Together program, participants vicariously learn the essential skills of self-advocacy, understand the downstream effects of using or not using these skills, and learn distinct behaviors that they can then use to address their own challenges.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PKharmacokinetic profile and treatment effect of pamiparib in Chinese participants with advanced high-grade ovarian cancer (including fallopian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer) and triple negative breast cancer in phase I, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pamiparib in Chinese participants with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (including fallopian cancer or primary peritoneal cancer), harboring germline breast cancer susceptibility gene 1/gene 2 (BRCA1/2) mutation in phase II.
