Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can measure inhibition of a protein, Src (named for Sarcoma), in tissue and blood in patients with a diagnosis of endometrial cancer. Dasatinib is a drug that blocks the activity of an important protein in cancer cells called Src. The investigators can measure the blocking of Src in the bloodstream. However, the investigators do not know if measures in the bloodstream reflect blockage of Src in cancer tissue. The investigators are doing this study to try and see if the investigators can match what the investigators see in cancer tissue to what the investigators see in the bloodstream. the investigators hope that in the future, the investigators can use blood to measure protein inhibition by dasatinib instead of asking patients to undergo repeat biopsies.
The use of robotic surgery in the management of gynecologic cancers has increased exponentially in the United States since the implementation of technology in 2005. In Canada, access to the system is limited because of a lack of government funding. The government has been reluctant to fund this technology because robust data, on the true impact to patient care, is lacking. This project will prospectively examine outcomes of women, with early stage endometrial cancer, treated surgically. Open surgery will be compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) which will include conventional laparoscopy and robotic surgery. The data collected will include detailed assessment of surgical data, peri-operative events, quality of life analysis, health economic evaluation and evaluation of MIS rates.
This is a randomized trial of 140 women with endometrial or cervical cancer undergoing removal of lymph tissue (lymphadenectomy). The application of 4 tachosil fibrin patches to the pelvic side wall after tissue removal is tested against no such intervention after tissue removal. The primary endpoint is to evaluate the incidence of symptomatic pelvic lymphoceles defined by CTCAE 4.03 grade >2 within 4 weeks after surgery in women undergoing open or laparoscopic pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical and endometrial cancer with and without the application of Tachosil® during surgery. The study's hypothesis is that the application of tachosil fibrin patches will significantly reduce the rate of symptomatic lymph cysts.
The surgical management of high-risk endometrial cancer often involves an extensive operation to remove lymph nodes as sites of possible cancer spread. 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is increasingly being used to identify sites of cancer spread and recently groups have used an intra-operative gamma probe to better localize metastatic disease. In this pilot study, patients with newly diagnosed early stage, high-risk endometrial cancer undergoing primary surgery will have a pre-operative PET scan and intra-operative localization of metastatic lymph nodes with the use of a gamma probe. A complete lymphadenectomy will follow and ability to detect positive lymph nodes of both PET scan and the intra-operative probe will be calculated. This study addresses the feasibility of an FDG detection gamma probe in addition to a pre-operative PET/CT for lymphatic mapping in women with clinical early stage high risk endometrial cancer. The study will also evaluate the role of identifying metastatic lymph nodes intraoperatively that would otherwise be clinically negative.
The purpose of this study is to determine the activity, tolerability and safety of Temsirolimus in women with ovarian cancer who progressed during the previous platinum chemotherapy alternatively within 6 months from completion of therapy or advanced endometrial carcinoma.
This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase II study to evaluate the activity of GDC-0980 in patients with recurrent or persistent endometrial cancer. The safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of GDC-0980 will also be evaluated.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well dasatinib works together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with stage III, stage IV, or endometrial cancer that has come back after a period of improvement. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving dasatinib together with paclitaxel and carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.
This study is to determine the clinical efficacy of BKM120 as monotherapy in the treatment of initial or recurrent metastatic endometrial cancer after first line radio chemotherapy. Clinical efficacy will be determined by the non-progression rate at 3 or 2 months depending on the group of patients. The primary endpoint is the non-progression rate at 3 months (12 weeks) for the patient group whose disease is painless (low grade tumor = stratum 1) and the non-progression rate at 2 months (8 weeks) for the group of patients with an aggressive disease (high grade tumor = stratum 2). Disease progression is defined by the RECIST 1.1 criteria
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, non-randomized, Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TKI258 as second-line therapy in patients with either FGFR2 mutated or wild-type advanced and/or metastatic endometrial cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to estimate whether the addition of trastuzumab to paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy improves progression free survival when compared to paclitaxel and carboplatin alone in Uterine Serous Papillary Carcinoma (USPC) patients overexpressing Her2/neu at 3+ level by immunohistochemistry (IHC)or positive by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
