Filter by:While significant progress has been made in the treatment and prognosis of ovarian cancer, this progress has mostly shown benefits for younger women. This study aims to understand two things: How body composition (the amount of muscle and water versus fat in in the body) affects the dose and side effects of chemotherapy; and the biological reason for the worse prognosis with aging. To get a good view of these effects, investigators are asking the help of both younger and older women for this project.
This is a research study to look at differences in tumor tissue from ovarian cancer patients that may help to determine response and resistance to treatments.
Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in women. Monocytes are white blood cells that slow tumor growth. Interferons (IFNs) are molecules that help immune cells fight cancer. Researchers want to stimulate monocytes with IFNs. They want to test if these stimulated monocytes combined with the drugs Sylatron and Actimmune can shrink tumors and slow the progression of cancer. Objective: To test how well IFN stimulated monocytes, with Sylatron and Actimmune, kill tumor cells. Eligibility: Women ages 18 and older with certain ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancers Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Scan Results or sample from previous biopsy Participants may have a tumor sample taken. Participants who do not have a port will have a catheter placed inside the abdominal cavity. It will be used to give the treatment. Participants will have visits for 4 days of each 28-day cycle. This includes overnight observation. Participants with ascites fluid in their abdominal cavity will have it sampled twice. Each cycle, participants will have: Blood tests Leukapheresis. Some blood is removed and put through a machine that separates out the monocytes. The rest of the blood is returned to the body. Infusion of the monocytes and study drugs Participants will have weekly phone calls in Cycle 1 and scans every 2 cycles. Participants will continue treatment until they can no longer tolerate it or their cancer gets worse. Participants will have a visit about 1 month after stopping treatment, then monthly phone calls.
This phase II trial studies the side effects of PD 0360324 and cyclophosphamide and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as PD 0360324, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cyclophosphamide may stop the growth of disease by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving PD 0360324 and cyclophosphamide may work better in treating patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
A first-in-human study using HKT288 in solid tumors, including epithelial ovarian cancer and renal cell carcinoma
This is a Phase 1/1b, open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation and dose expansion trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK and PD of defactinib (VS-6063) in combination with avelumab in epithelial ovarian cancer.
This is a Phase I trial to test the safety and feasibility of OncoImmunome vaccine in stage III/IV ovarian cancer patients. OncoImmunome is a tumor specific vaccine formulation which is predicted to elicit tumor-protective immune responses. A total of 15 patients will be enrolled from the Principal Investigator (PI) clinical practice. These patients will have just successfully completed standard of care surgical debulking with preservation of fresh tumor, chemotherapy treatment and be in documented clinical remission prior to receiving the vaccine. The patients receive 6-monthly doses of the vaccine and are monitored for up to 5 years post vaccination. This is a personalized vaccine, unique to each patient and is the "first in human" use.
The purpose of this study is to explore the experiences of Black women who receive care for ovarian cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, or "MSK" for short. The study consists of interviews with Black women who recently obtained some part of their ovarian cancer care at MSK.
In 2015 the Danish healthcare authorities initiated major changes in the follow-up (FU) program for patients with ovarian cancer. The new FU program argues that there is no effect of routine monitoring, and every patient's FU is now individualized. These changes have caused major concern, especially regarding the omission of routine examinations aimed at detection of recurrence, since clinical symptoms of relapse can be diffuse. Clearly, tools and FU plans to support the patients in feeling safe during FU are of vital importance. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) is a tool to improve the focus on patients' needs, symptoms and preferences. It is also a tool to monitor quality of life (QoL), and side effects. 300 patients with ovarian cancer are planned to be enrolled after primary treatment when they enter follow-up program. This is a multi-center study. All participants fill in a questionnaire at baseline and then every 3 months for two years, and every 6 months the third year. The questionnaire consists of EORTC-QLQ-C30, EORTC-OV28, and questions on symptoms of relapse. At baseline the questionnaire is extended with demographic issues. The patients will also fill in a brief questionnaire (CollaboRATE) dealing with patient satisfaction and the level of shared decision making experienced. All participants are followed for 3 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the biologically active dose of entinostat, when given in combination with avelumab, that is safe and warrants further investigation. Additionally, this study will evaluate the effectiveness of entinostat in combination with avelumab at the determined dose in terms of progression free survival compared to avelumab plus placebo in participants with refractory or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.
