This is a phase 2 study to see how useful, safe, and tolerable an investigational drug called ENMD-2076 is in treating patients with ovarian clear cell carcinomas. ENMD-2076 is an oral drug that works by blocking certain enzymes called Aurora A and tyrosine kinase from working. These enzymes are needed for cells to divide including cancer cells. ENMD-2076 also works by stopping the growth of new blood vessels which would provide the tumor with nutrients for it to grow. It is believed that by blocking Aurora A and tyrosine kinase enzymes from working and stopping new blood vessels from growing, the tumors may stop growing or shrink.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare ovarian cancer screening, risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), and prophylactic salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (PSDO). The safety of RRSO and PSDO will also be studied. Ovarian cancer screening does not involve a surgical procedure. Instead, physical exams, blood tests, and ultrasound are used to check for ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer. The surgical procedures, RRSO and PSDO, are designed to lower your risk of ovarian cancer. In RRSO, the fallopian tubes and ovaries are removed at the same time. In PSDO, the fallopian tubes are removed and the ovaries remain in place so that the patient does not go through menopause. The ovaries are removed at a later date. The main goal of this study is to learn how many patients actually have their ovaries removed at a later date. Researchers also want to learn whether the removal of fallopian tubes will decrease the risk of ovarian cancer.
This prospective nonrandomized multicenter phase II study, will evaluate the possibility of performing a laparoscopic interval debulking after a minimum of 3 cycles of chemotherapy in highly chemo-sensitive patients with advanced ovarian, tubal cancer or primary peritoneal.
The purpose of this study is to determine which patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer will best respond to treatment with rucaparib.
The investigators want to compare the use of MRI with PET/CT preformed after 1 hour and 3 hours in preoperative assessment of resectability. The investigators' hypothesis is that dual time PET/CT performed at 60 and 180 minutes will increase the diagnostic accuracy of conventional PET (performed at 60 minutes) in preoperative assessment of resectability. Further more the investigators suggest that the GLUT/G6Pase index correlates to the SUVmax. And retention index (RI, see Methods - PET protocol) is a prognostic marker in ovarian cancer.
Randomised study to investigate if salpingectomies done to women wishing tubal sterilisation has an effect on ovarian reserve.
The purpose of this study is to use 18F-EF5 PET/CT scans to locate areas with low oxygen levels (hypoxia) in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic cancer.
Oncologic patients often report increased fatigue during and after chemotherapy. Evidence suggests Tai-chi/Qi-gong may improve quality of life (QOL) in oncologic patients treated with chemotherapy. Previous studies, mostly performed in a population of breast cancer patients, have demonstrated the benefits of Tai-chi/Qi-gong practice in improving quality of life (1), reducing bone resorption (2), preventing the decrease of blood counts (WBC and Hb) (3), and reducing inflammation (4). The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the effect of Tai-chi/Qi-gong on QOL, sleep, and fatigue in patients with gynecological malignancies, particularly in patients with ovarian cancer.
This multicenter, prospective, observational study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer in routine clinical practice. Eligible patients will be followed for approximately 15 months.
