Filter by:The investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of delivering online, adaptive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided and gated stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer on a novel, integrated Co-60 MRI treatment machine. To best assess this technology, the investigators will focus on patients that have no more than three sites of progressive disease within the central thorax, liver, and/or non-liver abdominopelvis to receive adaptive, MRI-guided and gated SBRT with MRI simulation. Patients will be treated in five fractions over one to two weeks. By adhering to strict normal tissue constraints, expected toxicity will be within the current standard of care but will allow adaptation based on daily anatomic changes. The prescription dose will be determined based on hard normal tissue constraints, and capped at 10Gy per fraction. Although the long term goal will be to achieve improved local control and disease-free survival with reduced toxicity, the present study will be driven by the short term goal of demonstrating the feasibility of this novel treatment approach for recurrent or metastatic ovarian cancer.
A Phase 3 global study comparing avelumab alone to avelumab plus PLD and to PLD alone to demonstrate that avelumab given alone or in combination with PLD is superior to PLD alone in prolonging Overall Survival in patients with platinum resistant/platinum refractory ovarian cancer.
This randomized clinical trial studies a palliative care program in improving the quality of life of patients with high-risk gynecologic malignancies that is original or first tumor in the body (primary) or has come back (recurrent). Palliative care is care given to patients and their families facing the problems associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual. Studying a palliative care program may help doctors learn more about patients quality of life, use of healthcare services, and the relief of pain.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate changes in immune activity relative to baseline following treatment with Toca 511 and Toca FC in patients with solid tumors (including recurrent high grade glioma [rHGG]) or lymphoma. This is a multicenter, open-label study of Toca 511 and Toca FC. Patients with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma, for whom curative options are not available, will be enrolled into the study, subject to all entry criteria. Tumors must be accessible to biopsy and/or resection. Patients will be qualified based on the presence of specific molecular characteristics, documented by Foundation Medicine (or equivalent) genomic profile report, and specific tumor types. Toca 511 will be administered by IV injection followed by (1) intratumoral injection following biopsy or (2) injection into the resection cavity wall following planned resection in the case of rHGG or brain metastases. Toca FC will be administered orally in cycles of therapy. Patients not undergoing resection of brain tumors will undergo 2 biopsies to allow assessment of baseline and follow-up immune activity in the tumor. Changes in immune activity in peripheral blood will be measured in all patients.
Of the approximately 21,000 cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed annually in the U.S, ten percent are attributed to hereditary syndromes, most commonly the result of mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 or 2 (BRCA1 or BRCA2). Mutation in these genes results in the inability to repair double-stranded breaks in DNA. Treating these tumors with poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors results in the specific killing of BRCA negative cells by blocking a second DNA-repair mechanism. Treatment of ovarian cancer patients with PARP inhibitors has resulted in improved progression free survival (PFS), but not overall survival (OS). It's not completely understood why this is the case, but some preclinical studies using ovarian cancer models in mice have suggested that combining PARP inhibitors with immune system modulators like T cell checkpoint inhibitors improves long-term survival. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combination of a PARP inhibitor (Olaparib) with a T cell checkpoint inhibitor (the anti-CTLA-4 antibody Tremelimumab) in women with recurrent BRCA mutation-associated ovarian cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
The OvIP1 study is designed to examine how drug dose and perfusion temperature affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cisplatin used as (hyperthermic) intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, as an adjunct to surgery, in women with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer was mostly diagnosed at late stage (III/IV) with high rate of recurrence after first line of therapy by optimal cytoreductive sugery and 6-8cycle of TP chemotherapy. We developed an adjuvant chemotherapy of "three steps" (ACTS). It is adding CTX+VP-16(second step)6cycle and CTX+CBP(third steps) to firstline chemotherapy (first step). The aim of this study is to verify the effectivity and safety of ACTS.
This is a case-control study of molecular diagnostics. This study requires two steps: - The first part of the study will be conducted on a population of 20 women without breast cancer and, or ovarian family (Healthy Volunteers controls) - The second part of the study will be conducted on a population of 50 patients predisposed to familial breast and, or ovarian cancer compared to 20 controls . For analysis of leucocytes of the patients, a blood sample collected in a prior study (EXSAL study, ID-RCB 2009-A00833-54) will be used.
Many ovarian cancer patients have been offered different standard cytostatics and gradually develop chemo-resistance. However, a considerable fraction of these patients are still in good general health and have a strong wish for further treatment. Cabazitaxel (Jevtana®) is a new taxane with effect in breast and prostatic cancer. In both tumors it has shown effect in patients refractory to docetaxel. Therefore, it could be anticipated that cabazitaxel may also have an effect in chemo-resistant ovarian cancer. The aim of the study is to investigate whether cabazitaxel could be a reasonable treatment option in patients with chemo-resistant and refractory ovarian cancer with regard to effect and toxicity.
