Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to find out which type of transversus abdomens plane (TAP) and block (bupivacaine, liposomal bupivacaine or liposomal bupivacaine with re-dosing at 48-60 hours) improves your pain control and lowers your risk of post-operative common side effects of surgery and narcotic pain medications.
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) removes tumors in the abdomen. HIPEC is heated chemotherapy that washes the abdomen. CRS and HIPEC may help people with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These are tumors that have spread to the lining of the abdomen from other cancers. Researchers think they can improve results of CRS and HIPEC by choosing the chemotherapy drugs used in HIPEC. Objective: To see if HIPEC after CRS can be improved, by testing different chemotherapy drugs, using a model called the SMART (Sample Microenvironment of Resected Metastatic Tumor) System. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have peritoneal carcinomatosis that cannot be fully removed safely with surgery. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Computed tomography (CAT) scan Other imaging scans, as needed Electrocardiogram (EKG) Tumor biopsy, if needed Laparoscopy. Small cuts will be made in the abdomen. A tube with a light and a camera will be used to see their organs. Some screening tests will be repeated in the study. Participants will enroll in NIH protocol #13C0176. This allows their tumor samples to be used in future research. Participants will have CRS. As many of their visible tumors will be removed as possible. They will also have HIPEC. Two thin tubes will be put in their abdomen. They will get chemotherapy through one tube. It will be drained out through the other tube. They will be in the hospital for 7-21 days after surgery. Participants will give tumor, blood, and fluid samples for research. They will complete surveys about their health and quality of life. Participants will have follow-up visits over 5 years.
This prospective non-interventional study is intended to generate new data and insights into first-line (1L) treatment of newly diagnosed advanced high-grade epithelial Ovarian cancer (OC) in Germany relevant for patients, physicians and payers. It will capture the influence of 1L Poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance treatment (MTX) on medical routine in Germany, especially on: - outcome of the 3-steps 1L treatment phase (including surgery, Chemotherapy (CTX) and MTX) including the potential of patients with primary advanced OC to be cured, - patient's follow-up (FU) during and after MTX therapy, - patient-reported outcomes (PROs), experiences and needs, - physician's experience, - BRCA/HRD and genomic scar testing behavior at diagnosis/during 1L therapy, - patient selection for different 1L systemic treatment approaches, - use and safety of drugs, - treatment sequence in case of recurrence
The objective of REVOCAN study is to assess the abrogation of PARP inhibitors resistance in patients with relapsed platinum sensitive ovarian cancer treated with PARP inhibitors in maintenance since at least 6 months and who have only an increase of CA 125 without any progression according to RECIST criteria. AsiDNATM at 600 mg will be tested in addition to PARP inhibitors given according to the label in REVOCAN study.
The main purpose of this study is to validate the efficacy and safety of anti-PD-1 in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy in women with advanced ovarian cancer.
This is a phase I dose-escalation study of Artemisia annua (Aa) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer who have completed front-line chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. The primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of Artemisia annua.
Prehabilitation refers to interventions aiming to improve patients' resilience and functional capacity before a known stressful event, e.g., scheduled surgery. These interventions usually consist of physical activity and psychological and nutritional support. There is substantial evidence of the positive effect of multimodal prehabilitation among patients treated surgically for non-gynaecological cancers; however, no prospective data are available in gynaecological cancer patients. PHOCUS trial is a prospective randomised trial aiming to evaluate the role of multimodal prehabilitation in patients with gynaecological cancer. Sixty-four patients will be randomised in single institution within 36 months with a 1:1 ratio into ARM A: control arm which will be provided with a basic information and standard of care support; ARM B: active arm undergoing multimodal prehabilitation composed of physical activity and psychological and nutritional support. All patients will be assessed at standard intervals (three times during the trial) by a spectrum of non-invasive tests, evaluating physical functional capacity, postoperative morbidity, nutritional status, level of stress and anxiety, and quality of life.
A pragmatic, two armed, study comparing 2 standard doses of an anti-cancer drug called bevacizumab, given in combination with Chemotherapy. The study will be offered to ovarian cancer patients whose disease is platinum chemotherapy resistant . Higher doses of anti-cancer based drugs are not always better than lower doses and can cause more side effects without improvement of cancer. These patients will be randomly assigned either 7.5 mg/kg or 15mg/kg of bevacizumab combined with chemotherapy . Comparing these two doses will determine if the lower dose-level is non-inferior, and could lead to practice changes.
This is a monocentric prospective observational pilot study of translational research in women with advanced ovarian epithelial cancer. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of response to treatment with bevacizumab of the circulating levels of Ang1, Tie2 and VEGF before start of therapy. Secondary aims of the study are to explore the predictive value of response / resistance to bevacizumab of changes in circulating levels of Ang1 and Tie2 during treatment and at progression of disease, and to explore the possible role of circulating VEGF in the modulation of bioavailability of bevacizumab.
The tumor organoids platform can provide the precise genetic information and phenotype, as well as the heterogeneity of the tumor, thus provide information on drug sensitivity specific to the patient.This is an exploratory research to see if organoids testing could help guide precision treatment for ovarian cancer(OC) patients.
