Filter by:This is a phase I prospective study with the primary objective to compare the efficacy and safety of Surgical cytoreduction (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in treatment of recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers. Eligible patients consenting to this protocol will undergo their scheduled surgical procedure. After surgical cytoreduction to a residual disease ≤ 2.5 mm, a single dose of carboplatin (800 mg/m2) will be administered in normal saline via intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion using the closed-abdomen. HIPEC will be continued for 90 minutes in the hyperthermic phase (41°C-43°C). At 4-6 weeks after CRS, patients will go on to receive 6 cycles of standard IV platinum-based chemotherapy. The proportion of patients who are without evidence of recurrence will be assessed at 6, 9, 12 and 18 months after the day of surgery.
Brain metastases are the most common intracranial malignancy occurring in 20-40% of all cancers, and the presence of CNS metastases is associated with a poor prognosis. As such, the median overall survival of patients with symptomatic brain lesions is a dismal 2-3 months regardless of tumor type. Because standard chemotherapy largely does not cross the blood brain barrier at a meaningful concentration, standard treatment is limited and usually involves surgical resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery for isolated lesions and whole brain radiation for multiple lesions. Unfortunately, the median overall survival is only improved by about 6 months with this multimodality approach2, and there is a paucity of second-line therapies to treat recurrence. Furthermore, re-resection and re-radiation are often not feasible options due to concern for increasing complications or neurotoxicity, respectively. Thus, there is a dire clinical need for additional treatment options for this patient population. Checkpoint blockade therapy, in particular PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibition, has recently shown clinical efficacy in multiple types of solid tumors. The investigators propose to study the efficacy of checkpoint blockade therapy in patients with solid tumors and refractory/recurrent brain metastases. The investigators will assess the efficacy of MEDI4736, a novel PD-L1 inhibitory monoclonal antibody, in this study.
The treatment of advanced ovarian cancer is based on the combination of chemotherapy based on platinum salt and surgery whose quality is the major prognostic factor. A meta-analysis of retrospective series had shown that for every 10% increase in the complete cytoreduction rates were increased by 5.5% overall survival time (Markman et al, 2001). Currently, it is recognized that the best chance of survival conferred to patients whose initial surgical residue is zero (Harter et al, 2009). However, even if macroscopically complete surgery and whatever the type of systemic chemotherapy, peritoneal recurrence remains high for more than 75%. To reducing it of recurrence, a therapeutic approach is to administer chemotherapy intraperitoneally. The intraperitoneal chemotherapy consists to administer the drug directly into the peritoneal cavity. Alberts et al, 1996 and Armstrong et al, 2006 compared the efficacy in terms of survival of an intraperitoneal chemotherapy according to this method with a conventional systemic chemotherapy. Alberts reported a significant improvement in the median overall survival. Armstrong shows in addition a decreased risk of recurrence. It must be remembered that: - The establishment of an intra-abdominal catheter does not always ensure complete flow of drugs into the peritoneal cavity (major postoperative adhesions). - There may be problems of catheters becoming blocked and requiring local treatment; these problems can cause abdominal pain whose care is difficult. Thus almost half of patients fail to get all six courses of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Thus, the investigators propose to estimate the flow of intraperitoneal chemotherapy with IP peritoneal scintigraphy, using a radiotracer (nanocis®). The investigators hypothesize that the movement of colloids in peritoneal cavity is similar to the circulation of chemotherapy within the peritoneal cavity (From Forni et al, 1993, Varia et al, 2003, Young et al, 2003, Dawson et al, 2011). The accumulation of radiotracer will be more correlated with abdominal pain sites described by the patient as well as peritoneal recurrence sites found during monitoring.
Despite relevant clinical and/or familial presentations suggesting a hereditary predisposition (early-onset, multiple primary tumors, familial aggregation), targeted genomic analysis based on the phenotype are often non contributive. As somatic cancer genes are limited, the hypothesis is that the targeted next-generation sequencing of 200 genes, selected for their implications in cancers may contribute to the understanding of many selected patients' presentation by the identification of germline deleterious mutations, and may identified phenotype overlapping and/or mosaicisms. The focus will be put on early-onset breast, ovarian, colorectal cancer or pediatric cancers and multiple primary tumors.
Participants with Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Peritoneal Cancer that has recurred within 12 months of prior treatment that includes Platinum Chemotherapy are invited to take part in this study. This research study is studying a combination of a new chemotherapy drug called Ricolinostat together with the chemotherapy Paclitaxel and a drug called Bevacizumab as a possible treatment for this diagnosis.
This Phase 1/2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination treatment with niraparib and pembrolizumab (MK-3475) in patients with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer or recurrent ovarian cancer. (KEYNOTE-162)
This trial will investigate the combination of two anti-cancer agents to treat patients with relapsed/refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and ovarian cancers. Oral topotecan has US FDA approval for treating select gynecological cancers and SCLC. LCL161 is an investigational product that has been shown in clinical trials to work together with other anti-cancer agents. In this trial, investigators will determine the optimal dose of LCL161 and topotecan to administer to patients with relapsed/refractory SCLC and ovarian cancers, and examine the safety profile of the drug combination.
To clarify the critical role of glycosyltransferases, altered Mucins, and RTKs in human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms, the study will examine the immunohistochemical expression profiles of glycosyltransferases, Mucins and receptor tyrosin kinases (RTKs) family in various stages and/or histologic subtypes of human ovarian and endometrial neoplasms and tissue microarrays.
The main purpose of this 3-part study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug known as LY2880070 in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
This is a Phase 3, open label, randomized study designed to compare the safety and efficacy of mirvetuximab soravtansine to that of selected single-agent chemotherapy (Investigator's choice) in women with platinum-resistant FR-alpha positive advanced EOC, primary peritoneal cancer and/or fallopian tube cancer.
