Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate changes in tumor blood flow and disease response to the investigation agent, 177Lu-J591.
In spite of surgical and chemotherapeutic advances, long term survival for advanced and recurrent gynecologic cancers remains dismal and no curative treatment for recurrent disease exists. Novel treatment strategies are needed. This is a study to determine the maximally tolerated dose of and toxicities associated with intraperitoneal delivery of an infectivity enhanced adenovirus that expresses a suicide gene and an gene that allows imaging of gene transfer. This vector will be given in combination with intravenous ganciclovir in patients with recurrent ovarian and other gynecological cancers.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving paclitaxel together with cisplatin as first-line therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer.
This was a multicenter, open-label extension study. Patients who received vismodegib (GDC-0449) in a Genentech-sponsored study and who had completed the parent study or who continued to receive vismodegib at the time the parent study closed were eligible for continued treatment in this protocol.
This study will characterize FDG-PET (18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography) as an early response marker in recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based therapy.
This randomized phase III trial studies paclitaxel and carboplatin see how well they work compared with paclitaxel and ifosfamide in treating patients with fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity cancer that is newly diagnosed, persistent, or has come back (recurrent). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and ifosfamide, 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. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective when given with carboplatin or ifosfamide in treating patients with uterine, ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cavity cancer.
RATIONALE: Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, may be effective in preventing infections in patients with suppressed immune systems. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and how well giving enteral nutrition, including Lactobacillus, works in preventing infections in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or myelodysplastic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to develop new image analysis method using Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) for ovarian cancer. MRI is not currently part of the standard care for ovarian cancer. In this method, a contrast agent is used to make ovarian cancer visible during imaging.
This trial assessed the effect of treatment with CS-1008 in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin on response in patients with locally advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of two chemotherapy drugs, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Doxil) and bevacizumab (Avastin). How Doxil is metabolized and excreted from the body will also be studied.
