Filter by:Objectives: - To evaluate the attitudes and opinions of women undergoing genetic counseling for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, both before and after testing, in regards to pregnancy and fertility Hypothesis: -Factors that will increase the percentage of women endorsing prenatal diagnostic testing will include a personal history of breast or ovarian cancer, having had a mother or sister die of breast or ovarian cancer, and testing positive for a BRCA mutation.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy of DTA-H19 administered intraperitoneally (IP) in subjects with advanced stage ovarian cancer, or primary peritoneal carcinoma
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation directly into the abdomen may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intraperitoneal paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation in treating patients with advanced cancer of the peritoneal cavity.
This is a multi-center, 2-part phase 1b/2 study of AMG 655 in combination with AMG 479 to be conducted in the United States and Spain. Part 1 is a dose escalation segment to identify a dose of AMG 655 in combination with AMG 479 that is safe and tolerable. Part 2 will evaluate the safety and estimate the efficacy of AMG 655 at the dose selected in Part 1 in combination with AMG 479 for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC (non-squamous histology; squamous histology), CRC, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and sarcoma.
The study objective is to compare changes in expression of glucocorticoid-induced genes that may be involved in cell survival signaling in the tumors of ovarian cancer patients before and after an intraoperative dose of 20mg dexamethasone.
This is the first in human study of AGS-8M4 given every 2 weeks to subjects with advanced ovarian cancer. AGS-8M4 will be administered as an IV infusion until the disease worsens.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cisplatin given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with stage IIB, stage IIC, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and paclitaxel, 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) and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells.
The goal of this research study is to learn about the quality of life and sexual functioning of women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer as they receive other treatments for the disease. Researchers will study the costs for chemotherapy treatments, other medical expenses, and treatment-related expenses that are not medical. Researchers will also review any symptoms these patients may experience related to the cancer or treatment. In addition, researchers want to learn if and how these patients' caregivers feel the status of these patients' health may have affected the caregivers' productivity at work and at home.
This is a multicenter, open-label, two-arm, 2-stage, Phase 2 study of NKTR-102 in patients with metastatic or locally advanced platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Approximately 70 patients will be randomized 1:1 into one of two treatment arms. NKTR-102 will be administered at a dose level of 145 mg/m^2 in both arms. In Arm A, NKTR-102 will be given on a q14d schedule. In Arm B, NKTR-102 will be given on a q21d schedule. After the initial 70 patients have been enrolled, Arm B will enroll approximately 110 additional patients.
RATIONALE: Palliative care may help improve the quality of life of patients with ovarian cancer who are undergoing intraperitoneal chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying palliative care in patients with ovarian cancer who are undergoing intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
