This study, will take a subject's "T cells" and "teach" them to be able to recognize and attack the ovarian cancer cells. This is done by putting in a gene or genetic material that will change how a subject's T cells work and hopefully get them to attack and kill ovarian cancer cells. These new T cells are called "engineered T cells" because the new gene is causing them to become directed toward the ovarian cancer cells rather than their usual targets. These are also called "gene-modified T cells". For subjects who have the HLA A2 tissue-type marker, the T cells would be engineered to recognize a substance called "NY-ESO-1". After putting this new gene in T cells (a procedure called "gene therapy") the investigators will grow the cells in the laboratory and give these cells back to subjects.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the effectiveness of TroVax® compared to placebo in extending the time to progression in patients with asymptomatic relapsed platinum resistant ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.The trial will also look at overall survival times and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to better understand why women choose to have their fallopian tubes removed as a method for ovarian cancer prevention. This will be done through a paper questionnaire and phone interviews. The investigators hope to gain information that will allow us to better counsel women about ovarian cancer prevention.
- Primary objectives: To develop peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) for ovarian cancer, tubal cancer and primary peritoneal cancer that can represent perioperative intraperitoneal tumor burden objectively - Secondary objectives: To establish the relationship and find out clinical significance between PCI, tumor location and tumor characteristics
Rationale: The administration of prophylactic G-CSF may reduce the toxicity of a weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin regimen in gynaecological cancers. Purpose: This multicenter phase II trial is studying the side effects of weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin when given with prophylactic G-SCF in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian-, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers, endometrial carcinoma or cervical carcinoma. Data obtained in this trial will be compared with historical data as published earlier. The trial will include 3 cohorts of 36 patients: - Subjects with ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal carcinoma - Subjects with endometrial cancer - Subjects with cervical carcinoma Treatment: Subjects will receive Paclitaxel 60 mg/m² followed by Carboplatin AUC 2.7 intravenously weekly during 18 weeks. Filgrastim (Neupogen) will be given to all patients on day 5 and possibly on day 6 of each course. Subjects will be evaluated by CT/MRI scan after 9 cycles of chemotherapy (week 10), after 18 cycles of chemotherapy, then every 6 months for the next 2 years and then if clinically indicated. Subjects who develop disease progression will discontinue therapy. Subjects who have no evidence of disease progression after completion of study therapy will be followed until disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, or death.
This research is being conducted to determine the biodistribution of radiolabeled amatuximab in tumor and non-tumor tissues in subjects with mesothelin over expressing cancer including mesothelioma, pancreatic, ovarian or non small cell lung cancer.
This is a prospective study to evaluate the hypothesis that platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval surgical debulking with platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with improved maximal surgical cytoreduction rates, comparable survival, decreased morbidity, and increased quality of life in patients with International Federation of Gynecologic Oncology stages IIIC and IV ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer when compared to historical controls and to evaluate the hypothesis that cancer induced inflammation is a predictor of poor prognosis and response to therapy in this group of ovarian cancer patients.
This project seeks to develop a quantitative imaging biomarker for evaluating and monitoring treatment response in ovarian cancer metastases and assess its potential in monitoring treatment response. This will involve standardising DW-MRI for the abdomen and pelvis across multiple centres and platforms, assessing reproducibility of the measurement in patients planned for neoadjuvant chemotherapy and assessing its utility as an early response biomarker in patients with platinum-sensitive relapse due to receive therapy with carboplatin. Scanning measurements will be correlated with histopathological markers in tumour samples in order to link the biomarker with response mechanisms.
Primary Objectives: o Run-in Phase: Determine a dose of EP-100 at which the initial benefit/risk of paclitaxel combined with EP-100 can be studied. o Randomized Phase: Compare the anti-tumor effects of EP-100 combined with weekly paclitaxel versus paclitaxel alone in patients with ovarian cancer. Secondary Objectives: o Randomized Phase: Quantify any significant changes in the safety profile of weekly paclitaxel alone compared to the doublet combination of paclitaxel with EP-100. o Determine an initial benefit/risk profile for this new drug combination.
