The goal of this clinical trial is to compare participants with ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer when treated with investigational product (Vigil) compared to placebo. The main question it aims to answer is "Will participants who receive treatment with Vigil have a longer time to disease recurrence versus the participants that were not given Vigil?"
BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, are implicated in 10-15% of ovarian cancer cases, increased to 22% germline BRCA1/2 mutation frequency in patients with high grade serous histology subtype, including those women who have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. With the rapid advancement of therapeutics targeted this population, this protocol seeks to provide genetic BRCA1/2 screening to all patients with high grade serous ovarian cancer. This information may help in selection of future treatment options and genetic testing for BRCA1/2 may be used to potentially prevent a proportion of cancer for the family members. This study will be an opportunity for patient to improve access at genetic and molecular testing for BRCA1/2 mutation which could impact her future treatment option. Moreover, this study will allow to prospectively assess the proportion of patients with BRCA mutation in ovarian cancer and describe the type of mutations identified in a large population.
Background: - The new drug BMN 673 (talazoparib) has been shown to fight tumor cells in animals and some people. It is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor. It works on tumor cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage repair process. Researchers want to see if BMN 673 shrinks cancer again in women with ovarian cancer and whose cancer initially got shrunk but grew back on the first PARP inhibitor. Objective: - To study BMN 673 (talazoparib) in people with ovarian cancer born with a breast cancer (BRCA) mutation and whose cancer got shrunk but became worse after they took a similar drug. Eligibility: - Women at least 18 years old: - with recurrent and/or metastatic germline breast cancer mutation (gBRCAm)-associated ovarian cancer AND - whose disease is growing after already being treated with PARP inhibitors AND - with no other treatment(s) in between the first PARP inhibitors and a screening visit. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and heart and blood tests. - Participants will take the study drug by mouth once daily. They will take the drug in 28-day cycles. - They will keep a diary of doses and any side effects. - Participants will have 4 study visits in cycle 1, then 1 visit every cycle. Visits may include: - Blood tests - Physical exam - Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants will lie in a machine that takes pictures of their body. - Ultrasound - Participants will have a biopsy before starting the study drug. A small piece of tumor tissue will be removed by needle, guided by a scan. They may have two more biopsies later. - Participants will be followed for 30 days after taking the last dose of study drug. A physical exam, blood tests, and CT or other scans will be done. - Participants will have follow-up calls to ask about any side effects.
This is a phase 0/phase I feasibility trial to test the hypothesis that flaxseed supplementation is an effective maintenance therapy for patients with ovarian cancer who are in clinical remission following platinum-based regimens. The investigators further hypothesize levels of estrogen metabolites and prostaglandin E2 in this patient population will correlate with recurrence of disease, extent of tumor burden, invasion and metastasis.
This study is being done to: - test the safety of OTL38 - see if OTL38 helps light up the cancer when viewed with the special camera system - test the safety of the special camera system for use along with OTL38 during surgery
This pilot early phase I trial studies talazoparib to determine if certain characteristics of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) affect how the disease responds to therapy in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Studying samples of tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving talazoparib may help doctors learn more about the effects of talazoparib on cells and may help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.
Molecularly targeted agents which inhibit the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway and/or circumvent p53 in the induction of apoptosis are exciting potential targets in ovarian cancer. Metformin is a biguanide, widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, that has shown anti-cancer activity in preclinical studies. The main mechanism of metformin's effect is mTOR pathway inhibition and, in addition, it has been shown to circumvent p53-induced apoptosis making it an exciting, potentially effective drug in ovarian cancer.
Previous research suggests that regular physical activity may make cancer survivors do better in the long run. Laboratory studies suggest that stress may be bad for cancer patients as well. The investigators are interested in whether yoga, a practice that combines physical activity and stress reduction, is beneficial to cancer survivors. To answer that question, the investigators will need to do a large scale clinical trial. Before the investigators can do that large study, they need to know whether people are willing to participate in this kind of study, whether they can do the yoga practice regularly and for how long, what kind of changes they may experience in how they can handle their daily activities, emotion, sleep, memory and problem solving ability, and what are the changes that can happen in their body after doing the yoga practice. Answering these questions is what this study is about.
A first in human experimental treatment in which an experimental medicine,Nuc-1031, is used in combination with a standard cancer medicine, carboplatin, to treat ovarian cancer which reappear after standard cancer treatment. The aim of the trial is to determine safety, effectiveness, and clinical activity of this combination treatment.
