View clinical trials related to Ovarian Cancer.
Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to learn if differences seen in scans before surgery match differences seen when looking at tumor samples with pathology and genetic tests. In this study we will use Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] and Positron Emission Tomography [PET] scans. No direct clinical benefits will come from the results of this study.
1. Title: The efficacy of involved-field radiation therapy for residual or locoregionally recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer after definitive treatment; Multi-institutional phase 2 clinical trial 2. Study period: 2014.04~2018.04 3. Objective: To determine whether involved-field radiation therapy will prove to be improve 2-year progression free survival for residual or locoregionally recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer patients after definitive treatment. 4. Patient Selection: primary epithelial ovarian cancer (Required sample size: 70) 5. Planned number of patients - YUHS database have 149 FIGO stage III patients treated with debulking surgery and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy 2. - Of these patients, 90 patients experienced locoregional failures, and then the investigators selected 44 patients who could be treated effectively with IFRT based on MDACC suggestion. - Median interval to failure was 9 months in these patients - Hypothesis; IFRT reduces 44% hazard of progression compared with patients without IFRT - Sample size; two-sided, accrual time = 24 mo, f/u time= 36 mo. α= 0.05, power = 0.80 Null progression-free median survival = 9 mo Alt progression-free median survival = 16 mo Calculated sample number = total 27 patients Drop rate = 10% • Total sample number = 30 patients Estimated Enrollment : 30 participants Drop rate = 10% - Total sample number = 70 patients 6. Radiation therapy: Participants will receive involved-field radiotherapy (external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy) over 45Gy with 1.8-2.0 Gy fraction, five times per week for residual or locoregionally recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer after definitive treatment - Target volume - directed to gross disease plus a high-risk clinical target volume (CTV) that included the postoperative bed or the prechemotherapy extent of disease with a 1- to 1.5-cm margin, excluding uninvolved clinical structures - Additional CTVs were designated according to the risks of microscopic disease spread, proximity to critical structures, and other risk factors for complications. - Nodal CTVs included grossly involved lymph node sites, extending to cover adjacent uninvolved regions. - Modality; 3-dimensional conformal RT including electron, intensity-modulated RT, proton beam RT 7. Patient assessment: Participants will be followed at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 month after radiation therapy 8. Key words: ovarian cancer, involved-field radiation therapy, progression free survival
This non-therapeutic trial is for women who have received results of genetic testing for BRCA1/2 mutations. The trial compares decision support tools designed to facilitate informed decision making regarding risk management following testing to usual care. The researchers will test separate decision support tools for women who receive positive test results and women who receive negative/inconclusive test results. Among women who receive a positive test result, an interactive decision support intervention will be compared to a print intervention. Among women who receive an inconclusive result, an interactive intervention will be compared to usual care.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of OPT-822/OPT-821 on improving Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in subjects who have non-progressive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer after cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy as initial treatment for primary disease or as salvage treatment for first relapse.
The purpose of this study is to define whether 6 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy can lead to a higher rate of complete cytoreductive surgery compared with 3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.
Community hospital based phase II (prospective randomized) study to evaluate the toxicity of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in newly diagnosed, otherwise untreated, advanced stage (stage III/IV) epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the drug olaparib at different dose levels. It will be given with the standard initial chemotherapy for cancer as well as a drug called bevacizumab.
This is a single center phase I trial designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the oral IDO inhibitor INCB024360 when administered as part of a larger regimen of intraperitoneal (IP) delivery of haploidentical donor NK cells and IL-2 after a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (Cy/Flu) preparative regimen for the treatment of recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of the first part of this study or the dose escalation portion of the study is to determine what dose of BKM120 and Abraxane is safe to give when the two drugs are used at the same time in patients who are diagnosed with a solid cancer. A solid cancer is a cancer that does not involve the blood, bone marrow or lymph nodes. Dose escalation determines the least toxic and most effect dose of this drug combination for treatment. Once this dose is established, it will be used for the dose expansion phase of the study where we will determine the effect of BKM120 and Abraxane in women diagnosed with a recurrent endometrial or ovarian cancer. We will see whether the combination of both drugs improves the response and survival of patients treated on the two drug regimen. Also we will try to find out whether there are changes in tumors that can help us determine what patients are more likely to respond to BKM120 and Abraxane.
The purpose of this study is to develop technology to image the ovaries in order to better evaluate ovarian disease and to study how these experimental imaging techniques might work together or separately to improve our ability to detect ovarian cancer.
