Filter by:This is a phase 2 study (the second phase in testing a new drug or drug combination) to see how useful adding investigational drug cediranib to olaparib after disease progression on olaparib alone in patients with ovarian cancer.
This is a Phase I, open label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-1400 alone or in combination with INO-9012, delivered by electroporation in subjects with high risk breast, lung, or pancreatic cancer with no evidence of disease after surgery and adjuvant therapy. Subjects will be enrolled into one of six treatment arms. Subjects will be assessed according to standard of care. Restaging and imaging studies will be performed to assess disease relapse per NCCN guidelines. RECIST will be used to validate the findings in cases of relapse.
This is a Phase 1/2, open label study. Phase 1 consists of 2 parts. Part 1 is a dose-escalation assessment of the safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered with nivolumab in subjects with select advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat in combination with nivolumab and chemotherapy in subjects with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Phase 2 will include expansion cohorts in 7 tumor types, including melanoma, NSCLC, SCCHN, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, glioblastoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
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.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Most of these cancers are manifested in the form of an ovarian cyst. Practitioners are faced with two main difficulties. The first is to establish an early diagnosis. The second is to differentiate a benign tumor, a malignant tumor. To date, there is only one biological tumor marker routinely performed before an ovarian cyst, the CA-125 (cancer antigen 125). Unfortunately, many studies have been performed and show a sensitivity and specificity unsatisfactory in view of the severity of the disease. The principal investigator therefore propose to evaluate a new tumor marker, as well as its use in algorithms to help differentiate benign from malignant tumors, and allow earlier diagnosis in cases of ovarian cancer.
: Stages III and IV serum ovarian cancer are the most lethal of all gynecologic cancers; however, some advanced-stage ovarian cancer patients are long-term survivors. These patients may provide the key to long-term survival and bring hope to all women with Stages III and IV ovarian cancer. There is no meaningful explanation of why some patients with ovarian cancer become long-term survivors and what their quality of life is long after their initial diagnosis. This research project will specifically determine molecular features within tumors along with genetic, quality of life, and lifestyle features that predict for long-term survival for patients with Stages III and IV ovarian cancer. It will bring together sophisticated molecular techniques, researchers with longstanding interest, a wide spectrum of consumer advocates (a number being long-term survivors), and quality of life experts to analyze the most carefully maintained patient database in the world—the Gynecologic Oncology Group database. We anticipate the results from this project will identify specific biochemical pathways and genetic features associated with long-term survival that can be used to improve the treatment, survival, and survivorship of patients with this disease. There is clearly something unique among patients who survive Stage III or IV ovarian cancer long term, and we believe that when we understand what this is, we can increase the number of long- and longer-term survivors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an innovative preventive strategy, consisting of early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing with delayed oophorectomy beyond current guideline age, improves menopause-related quality of life without significantly increasing ovarian cancer incidence in comparison to current standard salpingo-oophorectomy in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
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 research trial studies comprehensive patient questionnaires in predicting complications in older patients with gynecologic cancer undergoing surgery. Comprehensive patient questionnaires completed before surgery may help identify complications, such as the need for assistance in taking medications, decreased mobility, decreased social activity, and falls, and may improve outcomes for older patients with gynecologic cancer.
This study aims at demonstrating the feasibility of probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) and needle-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE). Contraindications for resection surgery may sometimes be missed during exploratory surgical procedures. That may lead to an incomplete thus useless surgery and delay the right treatment. The objectives of this study are to improve the detection of cancer extension during exploratory procedures and to guide resection to ensure clear margins.
