Filter by:This study will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 will determine whether administration of adavosertib in combination with topotecan and cisplatin is generally well-tolerated and causes clinical objective responses in patients with cervical cancer. Part 1 will also define the recommended Phase 2 dose and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of adavosertib with topotecan and cisplatin. Part 2 of the study will evaluate whether treatment with adavosertib in combination with topotecan and cisplatin causes an improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared to treatment with topotecan and cisplatin alone and will further evaluate the tolerability of the combination treatment. The primary hypothesis is the combination of adavosertib, topotecan and cisplatin causes objective radiological responses (assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria) in ≥30% of participants. Due to the early termination of the study by the sponsor, no participants were enrolled in Part 2 of the study.
This pilot phase II study is designed as a test and retest study to investigate [F 18]HX4 as a reliable non-invasive PET imaging marker for detection of tumor hypoxia regions and to establish a threshold for [F 18]HX4 uptake in the tumor. The study will evaluate the relationship between hypoxia biomarkers (HIF1α and CA-IX) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and tumor uptake of [F 18]HX4 by PET imaging.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers in blood samples from patients with invasive cervical cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety of the combination of the two drugs cediranib and temsirolimus and the highest doses of these two drugs that can be given in combination to people safely. Cediranib is a drug that may stop blood supply to the tumor and therefore help keep cancer cells from growing. Temsirolimus is a drug that may stop cancer cells from growing. These drugs have been used in other research studies in ovarian and kidney cancer and these studies suggest that these drugs may help to keep cancer from growing in this research study.
This study is an open-label, randomized study, which is designed to investigate the efficacy of Extended-field irradiation (EFI) on reducing recurrences at the para-aortic lymph node (PAN) and supraclavicular lymph nodes, and also on improving disease-free survival of locally advanced uterine cervical cancer. This study includes a translational research component in that all the primary tumors and lymph node are stained with Sema4c, before randomization. According to the investigators study result, patients with more pelvic lymph node metastasis are more likely to develop distant metastasis including the recurrences at PAN and supraclavicular lymph node. Primary cervical cancer tissues and lymph nodes are examined for expression of Sema4c just after registration, and before the patients are randomized to each arm (pelvis only vs. EFI). The investigators expect a higher benefit of EFI in patients with Sema4c-positive lymph node.
Cervical cancer is a major health problem for Chinese women. It is estimated that nearly 100,000 new cervical cancer cases occur in China every year, which accounts for about 20 percent of global new cases. Surgery and radiotherapy are two major radical treatment methods for IB-IIB cervical cancer. Unlike the United States and some other countries, most of operable women with IB-IIB cervical cancer received radical surgery other than radiotherapy in China. Patients with recurrence risk factors (lymph node metastasis, deep stromal invasion, positive lymphatic vascular space, et al. ) also received adjuvant therapy after surgery, such as radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy that are recommended in the NCCN guidelines. However, in China a substantial part of patients especially those admitted to tertiary hospitals received several courses of chemotherapy instead of radiotherapy if they had recurrence risk factors . In our previous study, we found that patients with intermediate risk factors (deep stromal invasion, positive lymphatic vascular space, bulky tumor>4cm) had better disease-free survival and recurrence-free survival when they received chemotherapy compared with radiotherapy. The objective in this study is to investigate whether the advantage of postoperative chemotherapy is a result of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in some of the patients with intermediate risk factors.
Analysis of all women treated for cervical cancer between 2000 and 2008 in Limburg, a province in the south of the Netherlands. Patient characteristics, diagnosis, treatment modalities, complications and survival will be analyzed by record review. Quality of life of the living study population will be assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QOQ-CX24 questionnaire. Patients will be identified via registration data from the Integraal Kankercentrum Limburg.
To compare the effects of conventional cytology testing with concommitant HPV-cytology testing for the detection of high grade cervical lesions in primary cervical cancer screening in Hong Kong Hypotheses: 1. There is a significant difference in the number of CIN2+ cases detected between the cytology testing group and the cytology-HPV co-testing group at baseline. 2. Significantly more CIN2+ cases will be detected at the second round of screening among participants with normal cytology result in the control arm than those with normal cytology and negative HPV results in the intervention arm.
The aim of this study is to determine whether the modified therapy on the basis of operative staging and systematic, pelvine and paraaortal lymphadenectomy for patients with cervical cancer of the FIGO stages IIB-IV prior to introducing radio-chemotherapy leads to a significant improvement of disease-free survival.
The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between UGT1A1 genotypes and the safety of CPT-11 plus platinum analogues (cisplatin, carboplatin and nedaplatin) regimens for patients with lung cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and gastric cancer.
