Filter by:Nausea and vomiting are two of the more concerning adverse outcomes associated with chemotherapy in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies. In fact, nearly 90% of cancer patients develop chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) following treatment with carboplatin and paclitaxel. The successful control of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is thus, of paramount importance in ensuring optimal treatment and sustaining a cancer patient's quality of life.
This multicenter, observational, prospective study will include approximately 20 US-based centers, and approximately 142 patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal carcinoma or fallopian tube carcinoma, whose disease has recurred > 6 months after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy (first recurrence). Patients who have completed second-line chemotherapy and are currently in observation or undergoing bevacizumab maintenance treatment will be eligible to participate in the study.
The purpose of this study is to find out if complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) should be included with traditional therapy for women with ovarian cancer. Some of the alternative medicines include non-traditional drug and herbal therapies along with dietary and nutritional strategies. Only a few of these alternative medicines have been tested with women with ovarian cancer.
Immunotherapy is a novel way to treat cancer and does so by targeting the immune system to destroy tumor cells. Many different therapeutic vaccines have been evaluated in phase 1, 2, and even phase 3 trials. Much has been learned about the principles of applying immune-based therapies and specifically the types of patients that may be most likely to mount an effective immune response. When used alone, cancer vaccines may have their greatest impact earlier in the disease course or in situations with minimal residual disease. ImmunoVaccine Technologies Inc. (Immunovaccine) is an immuno-oncology company developing a novel adjuvanting technology platform termed DepoVax. DepoVax was created to enhance the speed, strength and duration of an immune response. The peptide antigens included in DPX-Survivac are designed to target Survivin, a protein which is over-expressed in many cancer types, including epithelial ovarian cancers. This study was designed be a phase 1-2 trial to determine the safety and immunogenicity profiles of DPX-Survivac, a therapeutic vaccine co-administered with a regimen of low dose oral cyclophosphamide. The dosing-finding phase 1 study of 15 subjects would move directly into a randomized phase 2 study. However, with the evolving field of immunotherapy Immunovaccine has begun to focus on combination therapies, combining DPX-Survivac treatment with checkpoint inhibitors and other immune modulators, such as in NCT02785250.
RATIONALE: Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pazopanib hydrochloride when given together with paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with refractory or resistant ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer.
The objective of this multicentric, randomised, Phase III study is to demonstrate superiority, in terms of survival, of trabectedin and Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) versus carboplatin and PLD in partially-platinum sensitive ovarian cancer patients.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors. Vaccines made from antibodies and peptides combined with tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
- Genomic medicine, using genetic information to improve health outcomes, is heralded as the answer to rising medical costs by focusing on prevention and tailored care. Despite its potential, little investigation has focused on how genomic medicine can be applied in health care. To be effective, it requires new ways to learn, deliver, and communicate medical information. It will also raise new ethical questions. - The overall goal of Guilford Genomic Medicine Initiative (GGMI) is to identify the specific challenges in "re-structuring" an existing medical system to integrate genomic medicine, and create solutions that can be used by other medical systems, such as the extensive military medical care system. To accomplish this goal, GGMI includes the development of a large-scale genomic medicine education initiative targeted at the community, providers, and patients, and a clinical systems model to implement strategies to facilitate the integration of genomic medicine into several pilot practices.
Pelvic Floor dysfunction affects the quality of life of women. However, the prevalence and risk factors for pelvic floor disorders (PFD) in survivors of gynecologic malignancies are not known. The investigators plan to perform an observational study including survivors of gynecologic malignancies. Questionnaires for diagnosis of pelvic floor disorders will be mailed to survivors to generate prevalence rates and risk factors for PFD in women with a history of a gynecologic cancer diagnosis.
The primary objective of this randomized phase II trial is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients randomized to NGR-hTNF plus an anthracycline versus patients randomized to an anthracycline alone
