Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies a peer-to-peer support program in improving quality of life outcomes in patients with gynecologic cancer and their caregivers. Peer-to-peer support and mentoring may help improve quality of life and reduce symptoms of distress in gynecologic cancer patients and their families.
The main purpose of this Pilot Study is to test the safety, tolerability and quality of life in women who take Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (FWGE), to determine if an active form of FWGE can be detected in the blood, and determine whether short-term therapy with FWGE has any effect on the tumor marker, cancer antigen 125 (CA-125).
In Part I of the study VS-6766 will be given twice weekly or three times per week in treatment cycles of 4 weeks to investigate a safe and tolerable dose of the drug. Once the optimal dosing schedule is defined, the following patients with BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will be enrolled: 26 patients with solid tumours (Parts IIA & IIC) and 10 patients with Multiple Myeloma (Part IIB). Up to 44 patients with solid tumours containing BRAF, KRAS and/or NRAS mutations will take VS-6766 in combination with everolimus (Part IID). Of these, 20 patients will comprise the Part IID dose expansion and will all have KRAS-mutant lung cancer.
The purpose of this study is to to investigate the effect of tocotrienol as a nutritional supplement in combination with bevacizumab in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy in the frontline treatment of ovarian cancer in participants 70 years of age and older in routine clinical practice in Belgium. Bevacizumab will be used in combination with carboplatin/paclitaxel followed by bevacizumab as maintenance in accordance with the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).
The purpose of this study is to estimate the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of CRLX101 when administered in combination with weekly paclitaxel in women with recurrent or persistent, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer. Determine through pharmacokinetic evaluation(sometimes described as what the body does to a drug, refers to the movement of drug into, through and out of the body-the time and course of its absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) whether or not the disposition of paclitaxel is affected by the concurrent administration of CRLX101.
This is a Phase 1b, open label, multi-center study of CMB305 (sequentially administered LV305 [a dendritic cell-targeting viral vector expressing the NY-ESO-1 gene] and G305 [NY-ESO-1 recombinant protein plus GLA-SE]) in patients with melanoma, sarcoma, ovarian cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer that express NY-ESO-1.
Study of Pazopanib and weekly Paclitaxel in patients with platinum resistant/refractory ovarian cancer who relapse during bevacizumab maintenance.
To compare the feasibility and surgical outcomes between complete salpingectomy and standard postpartum tubal ligation (partial salpingectomy) at the time of cesarean delivery in women with undesired future fertility. as a possible ovarian cancer risk-reducing procedure.
Short Rationale: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is a mainstay in preventing ovarian cancer in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, as ovarian cancer screening is ineffective in detecting ovarian cancer in an early and curable stage. Women who underwent RRSO experienced bothersome menopausal symptoms and worsening of sexual functioning related to acute surgical menopause. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) will mitigate some of the RRSO induced menopausal complaints, however it does not reduce the complaints to a premenopausal level and the sexual symptoms are not alleviated. Mindfulness interventions were found to improve sexual functioning and alleviate menopausal symptoms in various populations. It has not been investigated whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is effective in mitigating the RRSO-induced menopausal complaints in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and if this effect is sustained over a longer period of time. Objective: To examine the effect of MBSR training on the menopause-specific quality of life in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers who experience RRSO-induced menopausal complaints. Study population: Female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers who were younger than 52 years at the time of RRSO reporting two or more moderate to severe menopause related complaints after undergoing RRSO. Study design: Prospective randomized controlled trial with a follow-up time of twelve months conducted at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) Intervention: Eight-week MBSR training consisting of a weekly class of two and half hours and a full retreat day. Furthermore participants are asked to practice mindfulness exercises at home for 45 minutes, six days a week. Main study parameters/endpoints: Menopause specific quality of life score measured by the Menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire (MENQOL). Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There are no risks associated with taking part in a MBSR training or filling out the questionnaires that will be used in this study. The content of the questionnaires concerns intimate matters and could be considered burdensome. A possible benefit for the participants of the MBSR training is that participants will be more able to cope with their complaints after RRSO. The group relatedness is reflected in the fact that RRSO is specifically performed in women with a hereditary risk of ovarian cancer such as BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
